SpaceX can launch the Starship test flight as soon as next week should it receive regulatory approval, according to a fresh social media post from the company.

SpaceX's latest estimate for Starship follows an uptick in development activities in Texas that have seen it test the full rocket its pad and install the flight termination system.

Activity surrounding the Starship rocket picked up late last month when SpaceX surprisingly conducted a test that can only be described as a wet dress rehearsal. This test saw the company load the rocket with thousands of gallons of fuel and oxidizer to create launch like conditions. SpaceX also tested the water deluge system at the launch pad, all the while working with the Fish and Wildlife Services (FWS) to certify pad the fire and noise suppression system.

This tentative date for the second Staship orbital test flight is the first time that SpaceX has circled a date on the calendar, and it comes roughly a day after it shared that regulatory approval was 'around the corner.'
