Teams were hard at work this week, with crews at the launch site performing first-of-its-kind booster catch and landing simulations. Scrapping of the old cyro tank farm continues, a new crane is added to the skyline, and work continues on the new launch tower. Over in Florida, we also see the first Falcon Heavy launch of 2024, and ULA's next Vulcan Centaur arrives ahead of its second certification flight.

Thanks for watching this week's LabPadre Update!
