Superheavy’s Massive Fire Suppression System Dramatically Increases Performance
While the 2nd Integrated Test Flight of Starship ultimately ended in the loss of both vehicles, it was undoubtably a massive improvement from SpaceX’s first attempt.
This episode is a deep dive analysis of critical upgrades to Starship Superheavy.
There is a very large focus placed on Booster 7 in this episode. There were a lot of lessons learned from IFT-1 and its important to understand why each of the changes to Booster 9 were necessary.
