SpaceX Boca Chica - SN8 Gets Aerodynamic Surfaces - SN9 Fwd Dome Gets Tesla Battery
SN8's aerodynamic surfaces continued to take shape today, as SN9 patiently waited next to it in the Mid Bay for its next section to be stacked. Speaking of, SN9's Forward bulkhead (aka FWD Dome) was spotted by Mary in a fabrication tent with a Tesla battery installed. Work on the High Bay and Launch Pads as well as on SN7.1 continued, and the nosecone family was moved inside the nosecone tent. Video and Pictures from Mary (@BocaChicaGal).
