Construction Continues At SpaceX’s ‘Starbase’

Orbital Launch Pad B, also sometimes referred to as Pad West, is under construction in Starbase, Texas, on February 6, 2026. In contrast to Starbase's first orbital launch pad, its second has an integrated flame trench and water cooling system, resulting in its drastically different appearance from the original design.
