First they have to get it to orbit without falling apart.

I think technically they do not need to reach orbit just 0g which can happen on a ballistic trajectory. This test is between two tanks in the same vessel. But yeah orbit would be ideal as it gives more time in 0g

Still need the spacecraft not become a debris field north of Puerto Rico.
