A HotFire for Falcon 9

Falcon 9 Engine Test Update, SpaceflightNow

Keith's 8 March note: SpaceX is apparently going to attempt to hotfire all 9 first stage engines in its Falcon 9 rocket in preparation for a launch later this month. A test that had been planned for today but it has been postponed until tomorrow. Several days ago some cork insulation came off of the first stage during a tanking test. That will have to be replaced before the vehicle is launched.

Keith's 9 March note: The static test firing is planned for 1:00 pm EST today.
