This week at Starbase Ship 33 performs a pair of static fire tests at the Massey Outpost, a multitude of tanks are installed at the launch site, and SpaceX continues to spread cheer and share their holiday spirit. Meanwhile in Florida, Blue Origin performed another wet dress rehearsal of the first New Glenn rocket in what might have been a possible aborted static fire test, and no Starlink launches took place this week, as SpaceX instead launched the next GPS satellite for the US Air Force and the next communications satellite for SES.

![[ABORT] Watch Starship Flight 13 Live - Commentary](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/7R_8Jw342aA/mqdefault.jpg "[ABORT] Watch Starship Flight 13 Live - Commentary
13th test flight of the two-stage Starship launch vehicle. Second flight of Starship V3.
For the first time, Starship will carry 20 V3 Starlink satellites to space, which will extend solar arrays and antennas and will attempt to connect with ground stations in South Africa and the larger Starlink constellation via high-capacity lasers.
6 of the satellites have been modified with a suite of cameras to scan Starship’s heat shield and transmit imagery down to operators to continue testing methods of analyzing Starship’s heat shield readiness for return to launch site on future missions. Several tiles on Starship have been painted white to simulate missing tiles and serve as imaging targets in the test.")
