Starship QD Arm Moves for The First Time: Timelapse + Closeups

This short timelapse feature shows the Starship Orbital Launch Tower's Quick Disconnect (QD) Arm moving under its own power for the very first time. This first test was executed very slowly and we're excited to see how quickly the QD arm will move under normal launch operations. Testing of Stage Zero (launchpad systems) continue at a rapid pace at SpaceX Starbase. Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes footage in the next episode of our “Road to Mars“ series.
