On Thursday, August 21st, 2025, Booster 3 Lifted off on the B3-7 Mission. This launch was the Recertification flight following the failure of the Perseverance-1 Mission. The Vehicle lifted off great but the parachute deploy failed. We have determined that it was likely because of 2 things, the Engine, not being fully supported, or the way the chute was in the top of the rocket, made it to hard for it to deploy. Booster 3 will be refurbished and fly again next year!

The Booster is flying for it's 7th Time, Having Previously Supported The Booster 3 Test Flight, Booster 3, Flight 2, B3-3, B3-4, B3-5, and Perseverance-1. We recovered the vehicle without parachutes.
