"SN11 has completed an ambient test. This means that nitrogen at an ambient temperature was used to check for leaks."

No ETA for launch.

Static fire scheduled Monday. No current TFRs scheduled. If static fire is successful and a TFR is scheduled, the earliest it would fly would be Tuesday.

Next static fire attempt to occur Monday. If successful, it looks like they may attempt launch Tuesday.

"A new Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) has been posted for Tuesday, March 23 from the surface up to unlimited. "

I'm wondering if weather is a factor delaying launch. I'm seeing new TFRs on Friday the 26th and Saturday the 27th.

Looks like static fire had an issue.

"Raptor engine #46 has arrived at the pad for an expected Raptor swap on SN11."

I believe a second static fire is now scheduled

Static fire #2 completed today --- and it looks like they tried to launch today but it was scrubbed.

Looks like flight is likely tomorrow!!!

Elon Musk said,

Standing down SN11 until probably Monday. Additional checkouts are needed. Doing our best to land & fully recover.

What is cool is that Elon Musk replied directly to Everyday Astronaut's tweet, clarifying potential launch date.

"FAA inspector unable to reach Starbase in time for launch today. Postponed to no earlier than tomorrow."
