SUMMARY:FIRST SPACEX STARHOPPER HOVER TEST\, July 25\, 2019\, Boca Chica\, TX
DESCRIPTION:Update\, July 25:  The test was successfully conducted on July 25.  Read about it at NASASpaceflight.com (not a NASA website).  It “hopped” about 20 meters\, which was the plan.  A second test\, where it is intended to hop about 200 meters\, is expected in mid-August. \nUpdate\, July 24:  Two attempts were made this evening\, but both were scrubbed.  Observers expect SpaceX to try again tomorrow although the company has made no announcement. \nUpdate\, July 23:  SpaceX has not announced when the test will take place\, but knowledgeable observers think it will be tomorrow July 24\, although SpaceX is also due to launch a cargo mission (SpX-18) to ISS that day. \n\nSpaceX’s Starhopper Hop Test is NET Wednesday.
