i don't expect things to really get going until SpaceX succeeds in not only catching the Booster and Ship with the arms but also turning that Booster and Ship around and launching them successfully and doing that at least a couple of times. I do expect we WILL see Booster and Starship flying as often as Falcon 9 does today. After all it took a few years and launches to get from Falcon 1 to Falcon 9.

I suspect that the "bottle neck" in rapid turn around will ultimately be the rate of tanker trucks filling the "tank farm". However, for the near term, SpaceX will be upgrading the launchpad in every interval between launches, causing most delays.

Please Stand By For a Massive Text Dump My thoughts on how to test the catching capabilities of the tower would be: 1) Remove the hot staging ring from a booster and put an aerodynamic cap on top of it instead. 2) Launch just the booster with a limited fuel load & maybe pressurize the fuel tanks using nitrogen. 3) Try landing the booster just offshore from StarBase, still inside US territorial waters, using the virtual tower method until they get that right. 4) After the Virtual Tower landings are working correctly, then launch just the booster again with limited fuel to start testing the catching maneuver with the real tower. The same steps 2-4 can be done with the upper stage. There is no reason that full orbit testing can not be done at the same time as this would allow full orbit testing of all functions of the upper stage including re-entry heat resistance, but flying the limited fuel tests 'should' be possible in-between the orbit launches, therefore getting more landing testing done. The booster does not have to go as high as the upper stage does during testing because it does not need to do the horizontal maneuver like the upper stage does. Less height required, less fuel required. And not all the Booster engines would be needed, just use static weights in place of a real engine for proper weight during landing. I mean, how long does it take to build a booster for a limited fuel testing of first the virtual tower landing and than the landing tests using a real tower? SpaceX already is planing to build additional towers at StarBase, so use multiple towers to do multiple flights in a day. Until landing tests are being done with real towers, I would think each tower could launch at least one test a day, if not more, unless a tower get damaged during a launch. SpaceX's Company Motto should be: If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.

Good to see that SpaceX is finally going install a catch tower for the Super Heavy. It should have been part of the initial plan to begin with. It can only save time, money. improve efficiency and minimize ancillary damage. They will no doubt catch the second stage as well. As to the drone ship, I suspect it will be an alternative for use at Boca Chica as well. That should be a landing worth seeing - a 20+ story building.

@kstricl 13 күн бұрын

@@imconsequetau5275 Every bit of velocity imparted to the second stage by the first is that much more mass that can be put into orbit, sent to the moon, etc. If you recover the booster on a ballistic trajectory, the fuel that you would use to return to the launch pad can instead be used during the initial burn. Yes, the fuel itself is cheap, but it's a limited resource you need to manage during a launch. Having a barge out at the LZ of said ballistic launch means you can recover a booster that would otherwise be destroyed.

@imconsequetau5275 13 күн бұрын

@@kstricl If payloads suddenly exceed RTLS capacity, then downrange landing platforms makes sense, especially if too many boosters would otherwise be sunk. Customers may not want to pay for expendables. But there is a great advantage if you can get the booster back for the next launch within minutes instead of days. The SpaceX "rapidly reusable" way would normally be to just slap on more engines to Starship and stretch the tanks. This cannot be rapidly done for any version that is rated for crew, so there might need to be _version forks._

A ship landing of starship or booster would need serious heat protection. Perhaps a modified oil rig with a hole that allows exhaust to avoid hitting and damaging the landing rig. But this sounds like the former plans for the old oil rig. Could it be that the old rig was sold due to unexpected delays in Starship/Booster development? Coming anti-oil policies could drive down new and used prices of excess rigs, plus save docking, insurance, and other expenses.

@imconsequetau5275 13 күн бұрын

I thought of a solution to prevent the insulation tiles from falling off due to insufficient bonding strength. Put a very light net on the outside of the entire insulation tiles to reinforce it, similar to fishing nets or sweaters. It is a hot-melt material that can be used as a spaceship. During launch, the entire insulation layer can be tightly wrapped to prevent the insulation tiles from falling off. When the spacecraft returns to the ground, the high temperature will cause the entire network to be burned or melt and adhere to the surface of the insulation tiles, which will not affect the entire spacecraft's ability to do anything when it returns. Mobile, it seems that it has never existed. I hope this solution can really solve the problem of the insulation tiles falling off. If possible, I hope the blogger can convey this suggestion directly. After all, I have no channel to communicate directly. In addition, I wish this launch a success

Hard to imagine a catch of Starship on a drone ship. Best case scenario, minimal movements of the drone. The problem is that small movements, will translate on the catch arms into big one.

Drone ship towers swaying in the waves sounds like an issue. They could rigidly anchor the [buoyant] platform to the ocean floor with tethers, and/or build the platform with subsurface wave damping, and/or increase the platform baseline (width), and/or improve the catch mechanism ability for absolute position stability. BTW, it appears that Blue Origin has scrapped plans to use a modified ocean ship, and is moving to a barge architecture.

Clearly a catch only tower could be converted to a regular launch tower once they are confident - would be the smart way to go.

Environmental Impact Statements usually take several years to prepare and get approved. I would not expect to see flight operations out of the Cape for quite some time.

I strongly suspect that they will need to weld 2 or 3 semisubmersible platforms together, to get the needed deck area for offshore launches / landings.
