Booster 12 lifted way up the Tower, just like it would be if caught during landing.

Following Booster 12's rise to catch height, the chopsticks are now lowering it into the OLM. This testing explains why the Hot Staging Ring was not installed before rollout, as the catch will be after the booster jettisons the HSR.

Super Heavy Booster 12 was lifted all the way to the top of the tower to the catch position this morning. The first time a booster has ever been lifted that high.
