SpaceX's modifications include a catch tower loading the rockets, additional propellant facilities, plans to land the Super Heavy booster on the LC-39A pad, and the launch of an uprated rocket featuring up to nine Raptor engines on Starship and up to 35 on the Super Heavy booster, according to the FAA.
The potential environmental impact of constructing and operating the site for Starship Super Heavy vehicles was considered by NASA, resulting in a Finding Of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for 24 launches, but the current proposal involves infrastructure for up to 44 launches per year.
