Slowly building hype levels, Go Artemis, Go Gateway!

As always excellent can you mention that NASA's plans to upgrade the Astrovan in ther Further episodes?

Wondering why the adapter needs the foam insulation since there is no fuel inside. Do we know the total weight of the foam on SLS?

@DavidWillisSLS 2 жыл бұрын

Aero heating on ascent due to it being a cone. SOFI keeps the adapter from getting too hot

the ICPS LOX tank is inside actually, the USA doesnt need foam since it doesnt have anything cryogenic inside

@@Jomads remember however, the lox tank for the EUS is also inside an adapter, yet that adapter can be white. This is because it’s a cylinder and not a cone

Artemis 2 SRB segments are mostly reused, I believe 4 of them flew on Ares I-X, and they are almost done right now, which means we could have a hot fire in December 2022. NASA also said that SLS production will be sped up significantly starting late 2023.

David has been trying to find the Ares I-X SRB casings for ages. Would be nice if that was the use. Also out of curiosity, where did you find this info? Been trying to track down the complete casing flight history for a while

Very cool video again David, just one question. Is ula building the EUS as they build the ICPS?

@DavidWillisSLS 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! And nope! Boeing is building the EUS. The EUS will be built at Michoud using the same tooling as the core stage. So Boeing, who is already using the facility to build the core stage, will build the EUS. And ULA will stop production of the ICPS, and DCSS, and move onto Vulcan centaur stages.

I'd like to be excited about SLS, but contrary to Starship, SLS online content is mostly descriptive of all the complex parts of the rockets with little insight into the engineering. Why do we need need a weird stage adapter? Why do we need insulating foam? What's the metal and its thickness under the insulating foam that warrants it? Why did you say it encapsulates LOX and engines only? No fuel? What propellants does the Artemis program use to allow a sustainable stay in space and on the Moon, and why so? I thought LH2 was a no-no because of boil off within weeks? Maybe you have a more engineering oriented video about SLS? I can't get excited before all this complexity and cost makes sense to me. Thx

I just watched your Constellation video and engineering explanations of the design choices would have been very useful to understand why it makes sense. Cancelling Constellation because of cost that had a 1 SRB design and replacing the program by Artemis that uses a 2 SRB design and a lot more stuff that can't lift as much doesn't make sense to me.

This sounds like a great topic for a video!
