>The third generation of Starship and Super Heavy, powered by Raptor 3 and launching from an entirely new launch pad, incorporate learnings from years of flight testing and development.
Super Heavy V3 Change Highlights
The Super Heavy V3 booster features several significant upgrades. The number of grid fins has been reduced from four to three, with each fin now 50% larger and significantly stronger. These fins include a new catch point and have been re-clocked on the booster to support vehicle lift and catch operations. They have also been lowered to reduce heat exposure from Starship’s engines during hot-staging. Additionally, the grid fin shaft, actuator, and fixed structure have been moved inside the booster’s main fuel tank for better protection.
