The High Bay at Starbase serves as the current location for ship Nosecone and Payload Bay stacking operations. Previously High Bay was responsible for all Ship work however this responsibility gradually reduced as operations transitioned to Mega Bay 2.

Currently High Bay features space for general purpose work on three ships in the front right, back left and back right areas of the bay alongside a turntable in the front left used for stacking ships and other work.

The High Bay also features office space with large windows above the main work area where a birthday party for Elon Musk supposedly happened in 2021 according to an NSF editor.

History[]

Ship assembly previously occurred in the Mid Bay, while the High Bay was used for stacking boosters. Once Mega Bay 1 became fully operational, booster manufacturing moved there and ship manufacturing transferred to the High Bay. As of summer 2024, with Mega Bay 2 becoming operation as well, the front right corer is usually being used for tiling work.[1]
