BOOSTER 12. Amid rumours of its imminent scrapping... here's a quick look back at the history of what was possibly one of the most important SpaceX Starship vehicles of all time, and one that had a profound impact on me personally as well. I hope it ends up in a museum someday...

The first grid fin for the next generation Super Heavy booster. The redesigned grid fins are 50% larger and higher strength, moving from four fins to three for vehicle control while enabling the booster to descend at higher angles of attack.

They’ll also be used for vehicle lift and catch, made possible by a new catch point addition and a lower positioning on the booster to align with the tower catch arms. Moving lower reduces the heat they receive from Starship’s engines at hot-staging and places the fin shaft,

New Glenn’s second mission is NET September 29. We have been working closely with NASA on the timeline and look forward to flying ESCAPADE to Mars. You’ll start seeing some exciting things happening at the pad down in Florida very soon.
