This has been a whirlwind of ground breaking updates as SpaceX prepares for test flight 5. Not only that, they have done huge testing this week. This is a Massive SpaceX Starship Upgrade. Could This Really Work!? I tell you, it is exciting to watch this play out. Along with that we have Record-breaking rocket launches and spectacles like this! Indeed, the space industry is absolutely buzzing with excitement. There is so much to cover today so sit back and relax. This one is dense! We have Falcon Heavy - GOES-U, Starlink Group 10-2 , Group 9-2 & Group 10-3 and NROL-186 (expected Starshiled), Starliner Return now in July, and update on Vulcan’s Second Flight, and finally Chang`e 6 and SVOM.

the issue is that the ISS doesn't have enough thrust in it's own engines to ensure it lands where it wants, and it's large enough for big chunks to survive re-entry. So if it de-orbitted on it's own it would make a crater at a random point on te surface, which is NOT what we want.

Bear in mind that the tower and launch platform will probably need rebuilding or replacement very shortly anyway. Version II is a different but similar animal to Version I, and Version I is rougher on the launch facility than anyone had originally planned for. So I think SpaceX is going to go ahead and bite the bullet and get the work started once the 2nd tower and platform are ready.

Thanks for making a point about why Starliner is being kept in space. The ability of SpaceX to make continual improvements in Falcon 9 is/was fundamentally aided by being able to examine the booster components after landing. Boeing will not have that chance, and wants to get as much data out of that trunk as possible. Nice presentation.

@@Scanner9631 Excuse me. At present, only one thruster out of something like 30 is out. The four other units came up after hot fire, which points to some sort of freeze up and an overly conservative computer monitoring every little fart and belch of the system. So I just know that you are a rocket scientist or something, right? Or is it that you watch a lot of TV and You Tube videos? Anyway, NASA learned long ago that you have to be open about things. They have been doing that since Apollo. They relearned it during the Shuttle period. When you lie, it comes back to bite you. I think it is entirely likely that the helium leaks are much like that ISS pressure leak was a year ago - detectable only by instruments. Why else would they be comfortable keeping the spacecraft at ISS for a month? They have been continuing to hot fire the thrusters while docked to the station to get data. BTW that is something that Crew Dragon CANNOT DO. Once they solve this intermittent thruster problem, the Starliner will be the only crewed vehicle that can also reboost the ISS.

@just_archan 4 күн бұрын

Mass production of product that was designed from scratch about mass production. That is additional level of complexity for starship system. Using as little machined parts as possible. Using cheap materials that are easy to process instead "space grade materials" that are light and strong, but very expensive and complicated to work with. This is why they achieved price per full stack, powered by most advanced engine (full flow staged combustion engine is peak of rocket technology rn. There is research on rotation explosive engines that are even more advanced, but rn it's only in lab. (I don't count electric/nuclear engines.) I think if not that push for mass production Starship would be operational for at least 3-4 years. But cost would be much, much higher

Watching the re entry footage just highlights how well the team did in building the Space Shuttle back in the 70s.

@docferringer Күн бұрын

Well yes and no....the space shuttle was called "the flying brick" by the pilots for a reason. It has very little relative control on re-entry compared to Starship, it's smaller in size, and therefore the amount of displaced atmosphere-turned-plasma trying to eat through the body is both smaller and of lower velocity. Even then it couldn't survive the level of damage shown on Starship's last flight, which caused the shuttle Columbia to disintegrate during re-entry. Bizarrely, safety-conscious NASA never developed a procedure for tile damage during flight and they just basically YOLOed its re-entry with a crew aboard....they never even sent anyone out to inspect the damage.

Elon said during his interview with Tim Dodd that launch tower 2 will be taller than launch tower 1, that the chopsticks will be shorter , meaning they will have less inertia, meaning that they will be able to move quicker than the launch tower 1 chopsticks. And finally ...Elon said that launch tower 2 will have a COMPLETELY REDESIGNED OLM, with a .. wait for it...DUN DUN DUNNNN, A PROPER FLAME TRENCH... About time too , considering some of us have been saying since the start that a proper flame trench was going to be required, especially since Space X want to be able to launch starships daily and eventually even quicker than that. The bidet system was a short term fix that was never gonna cut it long term. I'm guessing it could be a scaled up version of the flame diverter trench at Massey's test Site. Will be interesting to see.

I doubt the 2nd OLM will have anything like a traditional flame trench as it just wouldn't work. It is more likely to be a flame deflector with the same shower head setup built into it. Containing the energy from 35 raptors into a trench will just not be possible, better to let is dissipate in the open like the 1st OLM but with a deflector designed to improve dissipation and reduce reflections back up to the rocket.

It is noteworthy that modern Aircraft carriers routinely catch multi-ton flying vehicles, most of which are moving horizontally at 100+ knots at the catch point, (even accounting for the forward speed of the ship). Aircraft Carrier arresting gear is well-known, and has proven to be reliable, and rapidly reuseable. Just what SpaceX wants for Starship! How about placing 2 deployable “hooks” (very similar to US Navy aircraft tailhooks) on either side of Starship, just below the Grid Fins. Then equip each of the 2 catching arms with a sort of trapeze cable (wire rope) arrangement suspended a few meters ABOVE (and slightly inboard of) each arm structure. The cables would be routed around large sheaves and then into a piston/damper mechanism to absorb the deceleration loads (similar to aircraft carriers). This set-up would allow for minor dispersions and random ‘unknowns’ of the catching operation, including having variable descent rates, variable propellant masses remaining on board, variable surface winds, and minor horizontal/vertical positioning errors at engine shutdown. These are things that will always be inherent in the catch operation. So imagine adapting the aircraft carrier arresting gear concept for Vertical ops rather than horizontal deck landings. Two sets of wire ropes, one for each catch arm, and Two deployable “hooks” on the sides of starship. It just might work.

I wonder if most or all of the pieces of the International Space Station could fit inside SpaceX Starships returning to Earth? Imagine the ISS preserved as a museum. I realize it's highly unlikely.

It’s possible though, just never done before

Every single module would fit. All of them at once? No chance.

They probably could all fit, depends on how big the cargo bay on the Starship will be in the final version but the ISS was built by a couple of Proton rockets, Space Shuttles, Soyuz and Falcon 9s. Preserving at least a few bits would be nice for sure, getting it all back would be super costly requiring multiple dozens of launches I reckon.

It'd be far far cheaper to just build a replica on Earth.

@@Destarn If 1 Starship launch is lets say 2 million dollars in near future - up to like 40 million dollars to get ISS back to earth. Tho i dont thing starship can properly re-enter and land with this much mass and shitted center of mass. Its made to launch payload, not really return it
