SpaceX Moves Starship Booster and Ship to Launch Pad
Published 2 years, 3 months ago
Description
In preparation for the upcoming launch, SpaceX has implemented several enhancements to the launch pad, or Stage Zero. These include a water-cooled steel plate and refurbished hold-down points, aimed at protecting the pad from the intense forces and heat generated during launch. These improvements, coupled with the absence of a traditional flame trench, demonstrate SpaceX's innovative approach to launch pad design and safety.
