Ship 37 was a Starship upper-stage prototype that launched on Starship Flight 10. During its flight, Ship 37 became the first Ship to deploy Starlink simulators from its payload bay, and was the first v2 Ship to nominally reach re-entry and complete a soft landing over the ocean. Ship 37 was also the first Starship upper-stage prototype to static fire on the orbital launch mount, while repairs continued on the static fire stand at Masseys following Ship 36's anomaly.
SpaceX conducted a spin prime of Ship 37 on the orbital launch mount.
Ship 37 conducted a static fire of all 6 of its Raptor engines to test the vehicle ahead of Ship 37's planned use on Starship Flight 10.
Ship 37 conducted a static fire of a Raptor engine to test the vehicle ahead of Ship 37's planned use on Starship Flight 10. First Starship upper-stage to be tested directly on the orbital launch mount, a choice made due to damage inflicted on the static fire stand at Masseys by Ship 36's anomaly.
Ship 37 conducted another cryogenic proof test to verify the structural integrity of the vehicle.
