Smaller forward flaps and further away from the head shield
New radar sensors on the chopsticks for the catch. Better chopstick sensor protection on lift off as were damaged during last launch resulting in catch abort. -

Well the catch was cool. Guess they didn't get all the issues whey we looking at this week with the delays.
Launch, hot stage, flip and burn, and catch all becoming reliable aspects of the system. Hopefully they got some good data from the mishap.
On a plus, the re-entry pictures will look cool again.
