SpaceX plans to roll out the water-cooled steel deluge plate, which will suppress the energy of the Super Heavy booster for the second integrated flight test. The plate will be moved vertically from the production to the launch site and placed below the OLM. The road closure is from 9PM to 11PM central time.
