SpaceX conducted a successful full test of the water-cooled top deck on the Orbital Launch Mount (OLM) at Pad 2 on Monday, marking a significant milestone in preparing the facility to handle the immense thrust of 33 Raptor 3 engines on the next-generation Super Heavy Booster.
The test demonstrated the system’s ability to manage extreme heat and acoustic forces during launch, a critical upgrade for the Block 3 version of Starship, which will debut during Flight 12.
