SpaceX S30 NEW Heat Shield Upgrade and 2nd Launch Tower Rise Up in Boca Chica
Two weeks have passed since the fourth Starship launch!
But activities at Starbase continue relentlessly, day and night.
Prominent among them is the work on Ship 30 when it is being upgraded with new gen heat tiles and the construction of the new Starship launch tower.
Let's find out on today's episode of Alpha Tech!
SpaceX S30 NEW Heat Shield Upgrade and 2nd Launch Tower Rise Up in Boca Chica
Unbelievable! Since we saw the first heat tiles being removed from Ship 30 on June 11, SpaceX took just one more day to remove two-thirds of the total 18,000 hexagonal tiles from the ship. This speed is astonishing, as we initially thought that removing thousands of heat shield tiles would be a time-consuming obstacle for SpaceX, but what they are doing has dispelled all doubts and worries of fans like us.
But the interesting part is yet to come. As SpaceX completed the tile removal, the white ceramic mats underneath the heat shield became increasingly exposed, followed by the removal of these mats to reveal the stainless-steel body with many TPS pins. Thanks to Starship Gazer for providing wonderful footage at Starbase! Support him by subscribing to his YouTube channel!

Returning to the heat tile removal process, it's noteworthy that SpaceX seems to be doing all of this simultaneously, with teams responsible for different sections of the ship and completing the removal processes concurrently. This might be the key that allows SpaceX's work speed to be so fast and efficient.
