SpaceX has continued building on its many projects around Starbase. Repair work has begun around the launch site, with damage found in different areas of the tower from prior launches. A proposed Gigabay could be coming to the Starbase production site shortly, and Ship 26 has finally been scrapped. The groundwork is also beginning to be laid for brand-new projects around Starbase and even Kennedy Space Center.<br /> </span><span id="more-103463"></span></p> <p><iframe title="Starship Flight 6 Aftermath: Pad Work, Vehicle Updates & Flight 7 News! 🚀 | Starbase Update" width="1170" height="658" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4YswFndtQsw?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p> <p><b>Flight 6 Aftermath</b></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After Booster 13’s 33 Raptor engines ripped past the pad on the sixth flight test of Starship, there has been plenty of repair work at the launch site for SpaceX’s workers to check over and fix. The chopsticks were the first piece of hardware to be inspected, which happened only hours after the launch of Flight 6. Without the booster landing, the chopsticks took much less loading than flight 5, making the checkups mostly related to the power of the 33 Raptor engines. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The launch mount was inspected heavily, as expected after every flight test. Only a day after the launch, scaffolding was installed around the top. Later that day, the dancefloor, SpaceX’s movable platform, was fitted to inspect the bottom of the launch mount and engines when a booster was on the pad. </span></p> <div id="attachment_103465" style="width: 2570px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-103465" decoding="async" class="wp-image-103465 size-full" src="https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/OLM-repair-after-flight-6-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="2560" height="1707" srcset="https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/OLM-repair-after-flight-6-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/OLM-repair-after-flight-6-350x233.jpg 350w, https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/OLM-repair-after-flight-6-525x350.jpg 525w, https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/OLM-repair-after-flight-6-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/OLM-repair-after-flight-6-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/OLM-repair-after-flight-6-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/OLM-repair-after-flight-6-585x390.jpg 585w, https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/OLM-repair-after-flight-6-263x175.jpg 263w" sizes="(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px" /><p id="caption-attachment-103465" class="wp-caption-text">Scorched launch mount and tower after Booster 13 launches Flight 6. (Credit: BocaChicaGal/Mary for NSF/L2)</p></div> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This rapid pace of checkups on the systems that go into launching Starship is a common occurrence after every launch, and it only gets faster after every launch. With the scaffolding and dancefloor in place, these routine inspections and minor fixes can be completed, preparing the launch mount for its next flight.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The booster quick disconnect received inspections after being scorched by Booster 13 and later was repaired to prepare it for Flight 7. SpaceX performed operating tests on Nov. 27 to confirm that the system survived the launch and is up to operating standards. Heading up the tower, the ship quick disconnect arm also obtained some damage from the Raptor engines on Flight 6. The umbilicals used to fuel the ship before launch were burnt and will need repairs. The door that closes on the connection to protect the ship quick disconnect from the engines has noticeable charing marks. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At the top of the tower, the weather and communications antenna were bent due to the forces behind the launch. This bending is the first time this has happened on a flight, which could have been why the tower was not in its correct configuration to catch the booster. This lean has already been corrected, and if this part of the tower does have vital systems to land the booster, it will likely receive more reinforcements to keep it in place, or a redundant system will be found. </span></p> <div id="attachment_103466" style="width: 2570px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-103466" decoding="async" class="wp-image-103466 size-full" src="https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Tower-Lean-after-flight-6-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="2560" height="1707" srcset="https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Tower-Lean-after-flight-6-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Tower-Lean-after-flight-6-350x233.jpg 350w, https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Tower-Lean-after-flight-6-525x350.jpg 525w, https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Tower-Lean-after-flight-6-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Tower-Lean-after-flight-6-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Tower-Lean-after-flight-6-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Tower-Lean-after-flight-6-585x390.jpg 585w, https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Tower-Lean-after-flight-6-263x175.jpg 263w" sizes="(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px" /><p id="caption-attachment-103466" class="wp-caption-text">Bent weather and communications tower.

A Buckner LR 11000 crane has arrived to help raise the new chopsticks and carriage system as well as the ship quick disconnect arm into place onto the tower. The crane arrived in many parts and was completed on the morning of Nov. 27.</p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The chopsticks, carriage system, and ship quick disconnect still reside at the Sanchez site but have received many small changes in preparing them for lift onto the tower. The tower should be ready to acquire the new chopsticks any day now, with the cables that move the whole system up and down being added on Nov. 21 and the drawworks machine that raises and lowers the cables put into place before that.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Also, the second launch mount is being welded at the Sanchez site to make it one unit. Not all the pieces have arrived, but the middle section, which bears the hold-down clamps, has been connected. This launch mount is a different design from the original launch mount and will come with a flame trench at Pad B and Tower 2. </span></p> <div id="attachment_103467" style="width: 2570px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-103467" decoding="async" class="wp-image-103467 size-full" src="https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/OLM-2-November-at-Sanchez-scaled.jpeg" alt="" width="2560" height="1707" srcset="https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/OLM-2-November-at-Sanchez-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/OLM-2-November-at-Sanchez-350x233.jpeg 350w, https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/OLM-2-November-at-Sanchez-525x350.jpeg 525w, https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/OLM-2-November-at-Sanchez-768x512.jpeg 768w, https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/OLM-2-November-at-Sanchez-1920x1280.jpeg 1920w, https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/OLM-2-November-at-Sanchez-1170x780.jpeg 1170w, https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/OLM-2-November-at-Sanchez-585x390.jpeg 585w, https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/OLM-2-November-at-Sanchez-263x175.jpeg 263w" sizes="(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px" /><p id="caption-attachment-103467" class="wp-caption-text">Launch mount for Pad B being welded together.

A drilling rig was also spotted having started near the parking garage. This could line up with the expected dimensions of the building, if not just a red herring.

Booster 15 has received its carbon dioxide tanks and could roll to Massey’s for its cryogenic proof test to validate its tanks before engine installation. Booster 16 has now completed its liquid oxygen tank. This vehicle looks similar to the last boosters, with only a few changes expected. </span></p> <div id="attachment_103468" style="width: 2570px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-103468" decoding="async" class="wp-image-103468 size-full" src="https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Booster-131415-scaled.jpeg" alt="" width="2560" height="1440" srcset="https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Booster-131415-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Booster-131415-350x197.jpeg 350w, https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Booster-131415-622x350.jpeg 622w, https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Booster-131415-768x432.jpeg 768w, https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Booster-131415-1920x1080.jpeg 1920w, https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Booster-131415-1170x658.jpeg 1170w" sizes="(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px" /><p id="caption-attachment-103468" class="wp-caption-text">Booster 13, Booster 15, and Booster 14 in Megabay One.

On the social media app X, Elon Musk mentioned that if the ship successfully lands again on Flight 7, Flight 8 will have the first ship catch attempt.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Flight 7’s launch profile is similar to Flight 5 and 6’s, with the ship landing in the Indian Ocean near Australia around an hour after launch. NASA’s Gulfstream V is known to be planning to image this landing. If those documents stay correct, this launch is scheduled for no earlier than Jan. 11, although plans could change, and this launch could be pushed left or right in the timeline. </span></p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"> <p lang="en" dir="ltr">This also means the seventh flight of Starship will be another suborbital flight and that no further Starship flights will be attempted this year.</p> <p>Link to the document and props to Gongora on the NSF forums for finding this: <a href="https://t.co/IAVk0cKyDy">https://t.co/IAVk0cKyDy</a></p> <p>— Alejandro Alcantarilla Romera (Alex) (@Alexphysics13) <a href="https://twitter.com/Alexphysics13/status/1860842072653074852?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 25, 2024</a></p></blockquote> <p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">SpaceX is expecting to have 25 launches available for Starship from Starbase in 2025.

These night launches currently do not allow booster landings, but it is possible this could be changed with minor regulation updates.</p> <p>L2 includes full res full collection of all photos taken by
