It’s worse than that. Arianespace itself refuses to do anything on its own; refuses to take any initiative; refuses to be entrepreneurial- in spite of receiving the equivalent behind it of billions in European taxpayer subsidies; they insist on being spoon-fed. It’s mis-management on ESA’s part that they continue to blindly support organizations year after year that then don’t leverage that support to build up new space business. - Dave Huntsman

@plainText384 15 күн бұрын

If you are only launching ~8-11 times per year reuse isn't super attractive, especially for core stages on missions to GEO and beyond. I mean look at Falcon Heavy, they almost never recover the core, because it's just not worth it. So the only option would be to recover the P120C SRBs, but SRB reuse just isn't financially interesting, as the Space Shuttle proved. In the future Ariane Space may introduce reusable liquid fueled boosters (something they are doing research towards with Themis, etc., and have alluded to a couple times, for example in the clip Felix stole at 17:50), but SRBs are allready quite cheap, especially when using the same SRBs for Ariane 6 and VegaC. And again they were working on the assumption of very low launch cadence, which is only inacurate due to Amazon's project Kuiper.

@@plainText384 I’m giving you a Thumbs Down because you’ve totally missed the main issue- as does the head of ESA Space Transportation, who spouts the same, well, er, nonsense. Let’s get specific: You can’t keep acting the same ol’ way and expect any positive change; you have to change the world. Remember, SpaceX started out with only a couple of launches- much, much less than Ariane, So, what happened? How did they get to the point where they could economically start launching their own, new industry- Starlink- up to 70 launches a year, self-funded, just for that! There WOULD HAVE BEEN no Starlink possible without FIRST the full-commitment to Falcon 9 first stage/fairing reusability- & doing whatever it took to get there, including all the failures et al. AND a commitment to RAPID reuse and commitment BEFOREHAND to high flight rates - which also meant a commitment UP FRONT to multiple launch pads- all BEFORE he committed to Starlink. (Check the dates). He committed to the basics of a growing sustainable space transportation infrastructure company and operation First- key words: COMMITMENT TO THE VISION FIRST- not waiting for the ‘demand’ to show up first. THEN came Starlink; created for two reasons: 1. He needed a long-term funding vehicle for Mars etc al; 2. He/Gwynne looked at OneWeb et al & saw their business models were broken (they were right); meaning they were ripe for disruption before they even got off the ground. Quilty Analytics estimates those actions (long-term commitments) are what have brought down SpaceX’s internal marginal Falcon 9 costs to approximately $15m- and Decreasing above 100 flights/year. This will have a huge impact on the markets from late 2026 onward when F9 loses 70% of its payloads- the Starlink Mini’s, as they are replaced by full-sized Starlinks launched by Starship- yet doesn’t retire the F9. Gwynne is not about to let other launches charge $70m or so for medium launches when she- as with the recent Eumetset deal that Was Ariane 6’s- will simply start underbidding- well, everybody- and still make a profit. The Commitment to serious, rapid reusability, lots of launch capability- ALL that has to come FIRST- not waiting around to be spoon-fed, like Arianespace insists on being. Arianespace, after receiving billions in taxpayer payments for decades, refuses to self-invest in Europe’s space future. They should never get another Euro. The money needs to go to those European entrepreneurs who actually have the vision to bring the future forward. - Dave Huntsman

@sunkid86 15 күн бұрын

Ariane's execs if I remember correctly expressed concerns a couple years ago that they are in big trouble regarding Falcon9 and Heavy. I was screaming inside like: "what were you thinking!". Truth be told ULA (Lockheed and Boeing) and Northrop and the likes do and did the same. They don't see instant competition and the money is fix, and the future demand they see is steady then they didn't see any need for innovation or push. Other than that, quite frankly, the very low cadence and the existing Ariane 5 infrastructure kinda locked them in. They would have needed a larger grant or invite private investors. I don't see if they saw the demand for that..probably not. So with existing infrastructure, project management, facilities, people and only a slightly bigger scope it was kinda obvious to go that way. In this sense ESA was mistaken too: they too could have promoted another direction. (opinion, could be wrong or imprecise)

I worked on construction for the Comance Peak Nuclear Reactors in Texas in the 1980s. There are two containment buildings, each taller than the US Capitol dome (288 feet (88 meters). There were two cranes at the construction site, each capable of raising and lowering loads to the top of the domes. One afternoon, a storm front appeared with wind gusts up to 50 mph. There was an order to lower the cranes to ground level, but the operators of one of the cranes rushed to get 'one more load' before lowering the cranes. The winds caught the cranes and sent it crashing to the ground. Unfortunately several buildings housing engineers and construction personnel were under the landing area. Several buildings were crushed under the mass of the crane. Several people were crushed and died as a result. ALWAYS lower extremely tall cranes when violent storms approach. A few years ago a relatively small crane on a building under construction collapsed in Dallas killing several people in an adjacent apartment complex. The nature of the ground in the area is a nonfactor. High winds and cranes do NOT interact well. Relatively simple physics.

A suggestion - your fast paced updates use a fair bit of “stock” footage - usually WAI previous stacks of ships and towers - it is actually confusing to know what is the current state. Can you simply label things like “Tower 1 from mid 2022” or starship stack for IFT 3? It would allow for more rapid assimilation and understanding. Thanks.

Since stokes design makes the cooling part of the engine and heat shielding, that’s very smart. Let’s see if their design works out. Imagine a starship with this design 🤔

Regarding Ariane's "dual-payload" capability, there's a catch when you compare it to Falcon Heavy... and that's that A9 payload to GTO is only about twice that of Falcon 9 (~11 tonnes vs ~5 tonnes). So if you're launching two satellites at once, at least one of them - and possibly both - are light enough to fly on Falcon 9 for *much* less cost, even if it takes two launches. And that's been a problem for Arianespace since F9 started flying... they may have the ability to launch two satellites on one rocket, but they didn't actually have many secondary payloads to launch, because SpaceX was gobbling up that part of the market.

12:22 I don't really think you can say that the "full flow staged combustion engine" and "closed cycle engine" are the same. Of course a full flow staged combustion engine is an closed cycle engine like every square is a rectangle but they are not the same. A lot of closed cycle engines have been in use for many years, like RS-25 in Space Shuttle, but there wasn't any full flow staged cumbusiton in use yet (SpaceX is still testing). The main difference between full flow staged combusion and "oridinary" closed cycle engine is, in full flow staged combustion engine the oxidizer and fuel enter the main combustion chamber in gaseous form while in an "ordinary" closed cycle engine one of them (oxidizer or fuel) is still in liquid form. But I would like to say, your descirption of how rocket engine work is pretty good, and suggest to everyone intrested how rocket engines work to check @EverydayAstronaut KZfaq channel.

12:32 Full flow doesn't necessarily use methalox. The Soviet Union tried to make one using hypergolic propellants Also, full flow is a type of closed cycle that has all the propellant go through the preburners. You can have other types that have some liquid propellant go straight to the combustion chamber. Edit: 12:36 The fuel doesn't have to flow through the walls of the combustion chamber. It's just a very common way to cool the combustion chamber.

As I understand geosynchronous orbits, the orbital plane needs to be the same as the equatorial plane. If not, the satellite will stay over the same longitude but will alternate in latitude. This means a geosynchronous orbit is only feasible at an inclination of 0°. So, what’s the purpose of the Ariane 6? Maybe it can place two satellites in different right ascensions of the ascending node? But if there is no ascending node, is that even the correct way to say that? What do you think?

What about with 6 Falcon9 fixed around the booster ? Starship in orbit with 50% ergols used ?

SpaceX has complete control over the thickness of the barrels they stack starship and booster out of. Do they put thicker rings at the bottom that support more weight? And when everything gets heavier will they have to?

Is there room for a second High Bay?

I think Europe needs a reusable system. But they need room for trial and error. They need to test limits and not be afraid to fail and try again.

Regarding the ice problem that is plugging filters and damaging the raptor engines on restarts. The only place that water and carbon dioxide ice could be coming from is the autogenous pressurization system . When a vehicle is recovered, all the ice will have to be purged before it can be refuel and fly again. This should be an interesting reuse problem to solve
