In partnership with our pals at SkyfiApp, we're thrilled to share our newest satellite image.
1️⃣ Captured on December 10th, this stunning (cropped) view from space reveals the impressive expansion of the tank farm at SpaceX's Starbase launch site.
2️⃣ A crop of the SpaceX "Sanchez" site. This is where we expect the tower segments from Kennedy Space Center's Roberts Road to go.
3️⃣ Another crop, of Starship Starfactory at Starbase. Progress everywhere the satellite can see!
4️⃣ The village is expanding! Starbase needs a huge workforce, and SpaceX is determined to have these people as close to the Starship magic as possible.
5️⃣ The satellite photo in its entirety.
