the two liquid nitrogen tanks at the orbital launch tank farm this leaves only gseNUMBER_TOKEN as well as shell seven and eight remaining to be put in place before all eight completed tanks sit in the tank farm and are ready for the orbital flight heading all the way over to the build site this week began with the stacking of starship number NUMBER_TOKEN. on saturday the thrust dome assembly was stacked onto the leg skirt in the nose yard its nose cone and barrel section has started to be tiled along with its common dome being flipped to its correct orientation the forward fins spotted at the end of last week were mounted there as well so this is a good indication that rapid progress is going to appear here next week as typically most parts are prepared before stacking starts along with the ship parts of a booster NUMBER_TOKEN the booster that should be partnering up with ship NUMBER_TOKEN has continued to appear as well its forward section number four was spotted which is a four ring stack that will sit above the common dome that will be a part of the upper methane tank section along with that is some very interesting news regarding this booster early in the week we saw a very large cylindrical tank-like structure being rolled into the high bay that was later lifted up right beside booster NUMBER_TOKEN. a few days later booster NUMBER_TOKEN was then lifted up in the high bay moved over to the left and then lowered presumably over the new tank structure back in august elon musk tweeted a list of higher structural margins that are needed for reuse one of these indicated that a boost back and landing propellant tank would be required for the booster itself essentially i believe this serves a similar purpose to the header tanks as we see on starship by containing the liquid oxygen needed for the booster landing in a smaller central tank spacex can ensure that the now mostly empty booster has all of the required liquid oxygen just for these central engines to do their job likewise the massive down comer needed for the liquid methane already serves this purpose so yes lots going on there and we are expecting a lot more next week we create these videos to release every saturday and you might be surprised at what has happened by this time next week thanks also for helping to build the spacex community and supporting nasa space flight rgv aerial photography starship gazer and the amazing NUMBER_TOKENd artists out there along with many more by subscribing to them liking their content and sharing it all around that helps equally as much as subscribing right here that means the world to them and it helps all of team space to do what we do so spacex's cargo dragon was returned just yesterday being released from the international space station on thursday yet another successful delivery completed there and of course cargo returned back to earth the fact that this barely makes any headlines these days i guess is a good thing it's just becoming a little more mainstream and routine at this point all the same it would still be nice to see some footage of the splashdown occurring the dragon made the usual parachute assisted splashdown off the coast of florida and nasa tv didn't even really bother to broadcast the splashdown live so again that all seems quite routine the great thing about dragon is that it delivers science back to researchers just hours after splashdown so due to this the researchers can then collect the data with minimal loss of integrity that was the NUMBER_TOKENrd cargo resupply mission all wrapped up with spacex at this point making it
