SpaceX rolled out the deluge plate to the launch site. They hope this plate will fix their concrete erosion issues seen on the first Starship test flight. Also, the Ship QD was reinstalled at a higher height to accommodate the new hot staging vent ring on Booster 9. 🔗 NSF Store: ⚡ Become a member of NASASpaceflight’s channel for exclusive discord access, fast turnaround clips, and other exclusive benefits.
