In this video, we examine the amazing physics and navigation systems that made the incredible lifelong journey of NASA's Voyager 2 space probe through our solar system possible. From approaching Neptune, the furthest planet in our solar system, to continuing its journey some 20 billion kilometers from Earth, we explore the remarkable technology that enabled this probe to escape our solar system and navigate through the vast expanse of space.

Fun fact: Voyager 1 was launched almost at the same time as Voyager 2 and was also capable of making the full four-planet tour but it was deliberately directed to take a much closer look at Saturn's moon Titan instead because of the unusual properties of that satellite. (it's the only moon with substantial atmosphere) This trajectory made it impossible for Voyager 1 to continue on to Uranus and Neptune.

Honestly, I have a lot of confidence for the starship tests. I feel like all will go pretty well. At worst probably some error that will delay the starship for like half an hour, but nothing too bad.

Starship will only work as an interplanetary transport. It’s too big and will be too heavy to land on mats without slowing down massively along with huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge parachutes since Martian Air is so thin.

@WhiteUnicorn82 Жыл бұрын

@@jaythekid4728 A parachute would need to have around a 350km radius, if entirely reliant on the parachute, whereas the Starship could just land as designed. Did you know that it was designed to be interplanetary? It's not going to find it much more difficult to land on Mars, and slowing down is accomplished in the same way it speeds up at the start of the mission - being precisely the same mechanism. Fuel is the main issue, so it will refuel at StarGas1, StarGas2, and StrGas3. This will give it enough to complete it's one-way mission, to then either get stripped and used for materials, or refueled for a later trip/lifeboat, etc. Or just a place to chill out when the weather's a bit glum.

5:35 The Voyager Probe knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the probe from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the probe is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the probe must also know where it was. The Voyager guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the probe has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.

I hope Starship will go perfectly! 🎉 But I wouldn’t be surprised if they experience a few failures. I think starship will reach orbit but superheavy will land slightly off target and thus have to abort. But starship will re-enter and land great (whether they decide to do a water splashdown or a falcon 9 style landing like we saw with sn 15). Love you vids btw- keep on going! What ever happens with the starship orbital launch we can expect a very exciting show lol!

I think starship will successfully launch into low earth orbit, but won't go any further. Hopefully it completes the whole trip though. I love your work primal space 🚀🌌

I think Starship's first test flight will go smoothly with minor issues. But if it doesn't, it's still a success as that "failure" or "rapid unscheduled disassembly" will provide valuable lessons and insight for SpaceX for the next line of Starships. Overall, an exciting event for Spaceflight. The most powerful rocket of our time taking off.

ABSOLUTELY mindbogglingly astonishing job of those guys back in the 70s at NASA. The step by step precision of their immaculate calculations is a testimony to their utter dedication and unparalleled passion. Makes me proud to be a human, even though on a completely another level. 👏👏👏

The technology back then to accomplish this is basically the same we use today for spacecrafts. We still use gyroscopes, we still use liquid fuel for propulsion and to correct course, we still use the same math and Newton's laws of motion to guide these spacecrafts. We still use the same Plutonium designed powered battery. The only so called "advancement" is faster computing power which is not necessary to do these simple maneveurs. 2021 NASA’s Perseverance rover has a 1997 computer chip brain. Here’s why. It may be old tech, but it's super-reliable.

My two mayor concerns about the starship launch are the reliability of the 33 engines in the first stage and the heat shield. Dunno, but seeing how every static fire one or two engines shut down, makes me worried. But they made some big improvements on the heat shield, so Im not as concerned... Thanks for making all these giveaways! Can I ask how you pick the winner?

I really think that the starship mission is going to be a huge success BUT it may be delayed a bit(not a lot like Artemis) either due to minor inconveniences or the weather. Now we just have to wait and watch to see what happens. Got my hopes up for this one🤞
