From wikipedia:

> Three Raptor engines, including SN49. SN9 has had one cryogenic proof test and six static fires. SpaceX attempted to fly SN9 on 28 and 29 of January 2021, but failed to receive permission from the FAA. During landing, one of the engines failed to ignite successfully, causing another hard landing that destroyed SN9.

This test was slightly shorter than the previous one (6 minutes, 26 seconds vs 6 minutes, 42 seconds) Next launch is expected within February.
