So the final design for the first stage of OLS is finished it went to a HUGE design upgrade pretty much everything is changed as you can see the pic below:



List of Design changes

  • Tank section is now thinner from 11m to 9m
  • bigger grid fins
  • stronger gyroscope
  • thrust changes to center ring of engines
  • improved placing of telemetry cables/wires
  • added Landing legs
  • New interstage design
  • Booster height is now 73m (before 63m)
  • Much better RCS
  • New color design

Since the booster is new it will perform some major tests such as Proof test, Static fire and lastly 2 hops.
