SpaceX&Elon Musk inspected the Water deluge system and Stage 0! Starship IFT-3 ready next month...
This is an amazing feat of engineering!
I was sure they would have to relocate the launch pad, but they pulled it off with the cooling system!
The next day, SpaceX and Elon Musk checked the Water deluge system and the pad.
''The Starship launch pad is in excellent shape!
The water-cooled steel plate doesn't need any refurbishment for the next launch.
Well done to @Spacex team & contractors for designing & building such a durable system so quickly!''
Elon tweeted on X.
Honestly, this is the most important upgrade, which the Fish and Wildlife officials focused their attention on. After the first launch, the agency’s biologists were reportedly in disbelief that SpaceX, at the time, lacked flame suppression technology like this for Starship—an industry and space agency standard. Such systems are designed to dissipate some of the heat and noise generated by a rocket. SpaceX’s new system involves flooding 358,000 gallons of water from ground tanks into steel plates and releasing them through holes in the plating, as the Fish and Wildlife assessment describes it. In April, Musk characterized it as a “massive super strong steel shower head pointing up.”
Assessments of this second test flight will show whether SpaceX’s new system is effective at reducing debris and pollution. What’s clear is that not having such a system won’t work. “Steel is a ductile material rather than a brittle one, and it can’t fracture like concrete did” on the first launch, says Phil Metzger, a planetary scientist at the University of Central Florida who studies space economics.
"What we found was that it's comparable to a volcanic explosion. The pressure that was built up under the pad was equal to a volcano and the amount of gas mixed with the rocky material was comparable to a volcano."
"I think they've completely solved the problem. We should not have a repeat of the volcanic eruption under a launchpad again." Metzger said after the launch.
With all the benefits that the Water deluge system brings, Elon Musk declared that ''Starship Flight 3 hardware should be ready to fly in 3 to 4 weeks. There are three ships in final production in the high bay (as can be seen from the highway).''
Indeed, SpaceX has a robust prototype program for Starship and we may see booster 10 and ship 28 next in line at the OLM soon for the next launch!
‘’SpaceX engineering, manufacturing & launch teams did amazing work,’’ Musk expressed gratitude to his team.
SpaceX engineers now have the task ahead to understand why the Starship vehicle detonated itself using its flight termination system just before completing its launch burn. The company has said it will also study Super Heavy's explosion so future iterations of the vehicle can be returned to Earth for reuse, as it and Starship are designed to do.
