BIG NEWS! SpaceX is Fixing Pad A OLM to become Starship Static Fire test stand while Pad B...
Pad B, also known as Pad 2, is currently one of the most anticipated systems at Starbase.
Its importance goes far beyond just supporting future launches. In the wake of the Massey incident, Pad B has quickly emerged as a potential alternative that could allow SpaceX to resume Starship testing sooner than expected.
So how is the construction of this pad progressing? And more importantly, is it truly capable of supporting full-scale Starship tests?
Let’s explore the details and find out on today’s episode of Great SpaceX.
SpaceX appears to be shifting Starship static fire testing to Pad A’s Orbital Launch Mount after damage at the Massey site. A new transport stand—resembling a Super Heavy unit—was recently spotted near Pad A, with active preparations underway.

This stand, confirmed in road closure documents as a ringwall transport stand, will sit atop Pad A’s OLM to address compatibility issues and improve safety by separating transport and testing roles.

Pad B will continue to support Starship testing and launches as planned.
Perhaps about one or two years ago, we would not have believed that the current Pad B area would house such a massive structure. At that time, the area was quite empty, with only a suborbital test stand and a few small fuel tanks. However, the transformation has occurred at an astonishing pace. The construction began with a tower platform, followed by the full launch tower, a flame trench, an Orbital Launch Mount (OLM), and numerous other structures appearing in rapid succession.

Among these additions, the OLM was the last major component installed around mid-May. Since then, smaller systems have been steadily added to complete the infrastructure. One notable update was the installation of the manifold system on the OLM, likely intended to connect to the water supply and the flame bucket system. More recently, hold-down clamps have been delivered and installed, signaling that this system is nearing full readiness.
With this progress, it is clear that the construction phase of Pad B is almost complete. The upcoming period will likely involve initial system testing, possibly followed by full-scale hardware integration. Previously, it was speculated that Pad B might host a combined test with a full-scale prototype such as a Super Heavy booster or a Starship. That idea now seems less like speculation and more like an impending reality
