None of the Moonraker launches use any water deluge system. This is required not just to avoid heat damage to the launch pad, but to reduce the acoustic energy of the launch, which would otherwise reflect off the ground and damage the shuttle. The huge clouds seen around a launch pad at take-off are not the rocket exhaust, but simply steam, as the water is vaporised by the heat of the rocket engines.
