Elon Musk’s HUGE UPDATE on Water-cooled Steel Plate BURNED & Launchpad after Flight 4…
Yeah, this is some of the footage from the recent Flight 4.
From the beginning to the end of the flight, most of us were likely focused on the rocket’s journey and any issues that arose. However, let’s take a moment to return to Starbase and examine the Launch Pad where Starship lifted off. There’s a lot to discuss here, including both advancements and challenges.
So, what is the current status of the Launch Pad? How will SpaceX upgrade it for the upcoming flight?
Join us as we dive deep into these topics on today’s episode of Great SpaceX!
Elon Musk’s HUGE UPDATE on Water-cooled Steel Plate BURNED & Launchpad after Flight 4…
From high camera angles, we once again witness the remarkable scenes created by SpaceX’s Starship. This flight marked a significant milestone with the successful landing of both Starship stages for the first time, setting the stage for many subsequent strides.
The Launch Pad played a crucial role in making this spectacle possible. Post-flight images of the Launch Pad have surfaced, showing that, overall, there was no significant damage to the launch system. The legs of the Orbital Launch Mount (OLM) and the protective wall between the OLM and the Launch Tower only have slight scorch marks, which is expected with any rocket launch. The area with the heaviest burns appears to be at the top of the protective wall, which has turned to an ashen gray. Notably, during this recent flight, the rocket lifted off quite slowly, subjecting the Launch Pad to prolonged heat, pressure, and thrust.

Regarding the Orbital Launch Mount (OLM), aside from the basic structure, the parts added and upgraded before Flight 4, such as the Booster QD covers and fuel hoses, also showed no issues. These components sustained significant damage after Flight 3, prompting SpaceX to replace the fuel hoses and BQD covers and upgrade the motion mechanism. As a result, the lift-off process went smoothly, ensuring the safety of all elements. Additionally, the holding clamps replaced before Flight 4 have also performed reliably.
