Cranes test-tilted B1048 today, but ground support cables have since been reattached to the booster. The transport cradle which had been waiting streetside has been gone the past 2 days. Not sure if that's what is causing the delay? More booster time though!

PUT ME DOWN. Both cranes lifted B1048 today and then placed it back on its mount. Technicians have been hard at work prepping the booster for its first reflight as early as Sept fr om Vandenberg, wh ere it will also attempt the first west coast land landing.

Что это за "нашлепки" у среза сопла? Раньше вроде не было такого.

У сопла левее такая же нашлепка, и еще какая то вмятина.

нашлепки вроде бы на всех соплах. вмятину не вижу

Могет быть, там проходят струи из выхлопных патрубков, которые могут догорать в воздухе. Тогда эти кожуха - это защита силовой стенки от температурного воздействия.

Amazing that there are currently two spacecraft sitting at the same port right now, each back from space within days of each other. Dragon capsule from CRS-15, and Falcon 9 B1048 from Iridium-7. #SpaceX

8/1/18 - Workers covering each Merlin engine on Falcon 9 B1048 with a protective bootie in preparation of transporting it to its next destination. The first stage landed successfully on SpaceX's west coast drone ship, Just Read the Instructions, on July 25 after successfully delivering ten Iridium NEXT satellites to low-Earth orbit.

Timelapse spans 29 minutes.

Workers slipping Merlin booties on Falcon 9 B1048 on 8/1. The booster was transported back to Hawthorne on 8/6 after 10 days of analysis at port. #spacex #Falcon9 @teslarati

Confirmed earlier this year in a quarterly NASA Commercial Crew update, SpaceX assigned Falcon 9 Booster 1051 to Crew Dragon's debut launch. That rocket booster and its complementary upper stage are already at SpaceX's McGregor, TX rocket testing facility undergoing a number of acceptance tests and checkouts as of today, confirming a number of critical facts. Most importantly, the presence of integrated the B1051 booster in Texas appears to imply that SpaceX has successfully fixed slight design flaws in their Merlin 1D engines and composite-overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs), even if the paperwork to officially 'certify' them for flight has not been completed.

This meshes nicely with details provided in a recent NASA Commercial Crew news post, which stated that "Falcon 9's first and second stages for the Demo-1 [Crew Dragon] mission are targeted to ship ... [to] McGregor, Texas for additional testing in August." Ship they did and the booster may well have beaten that "August" timeframe according to photos of the facility from mid-July. When exactly that testing will wrap up in Texas is unclear but it would be reasonable to expect the rocket booster and upper stage to ship to SpaceX's Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) in Cape Canaveral within 4-6 weeks, giving the company a solid month and a half to integrate the rocket, static fire it at the pad, complete assembly of Crew Dragon, and attach the spacecraft to its Falcon 9 rocket ahead of launch.
