Thanks for the great breakdown, Adrian.

more pressure in the chamber can be due to more pressure in the pumps, or due to less pressure loss between the pumps and the chamber. simplifying the plumbing is one good way to reduce the pressure loss between the pumps and the chamber.

Thanks Adrian and NSF team, great update and explanations. I think they might be babying the engines to ensure they complete the mission. They can learn how much more they can push once they inspect the returned engines.

Nice deep dive on that Elon presentation. That new hot staging configuration reminds me of '60s Soviet design.

WOW Lot of information!

Such a tall Ship landing vertically on the Moon and Mars, seems odd now?

Congratulations

I would expect a lot of the major changes to come with the next iteration of Mechazilla.

This is excellent stuff - thank you. Several questions that await answers - brilliant. Looking forward to seeing & hearing about them!

In the ring section factory clip (14:18), that fourth ring on the far right seems to have a dome on top like the top of booster 2 or booster 3 in the comparison picture (9:25)

Note that the flight 3 thrust numbers were at liftoff and initial. I assume without payload you throttle down to keep the velocities the same as if you had a payload.

Thank you for this excellent update!

Regarding thrust differences between advertised and stated (for IFT3), I'd suspect they are using older engines since the booster and ship were made quite a while ago.

I hope you guys keep a separate tracking camera on the booster for this next flight.

Will there be a deluge system for the catch? In order to preserve the OLM, or is it unnecessary? Great video @nasaspaceflight

Thanks Team NSF! I'm wondering... being conscious that Starship 3 is significantly taller than 1 and 2, is there anything to indicate that the launch towers are being built to accommodate this (ie taller from the beginning / could be stretched in the future (would particularly mean that the lower parts of the towers would need to be designed to take more weight than what they would initially need to carry) Thanks!

@imconsequetau5275

2 ай бұрын

It might be that the chopsticks must be made shorter to assure they handle greater mass (at the shorter tips), and the ship QD definately must be raised. There is reason to believe that the remainder of the OLM and Mechazilla are adequate. The lifting hardpoints can be kept at the current heights/altitude of the stacked pair.

With IFT4 planning a soft water landing of the booster some 25ks down range, will NSF be putting a starlink-enabled tracking camera on a barge 15ks offshore, and just north of the exclusion zone? Seems like a premo opportunity for a one-of-a-kind bit of footage.

The hotstage changes are all about reclaiming the space lost when they retrofitted the original hotstage. Pretty sure what they have done is to bring the tank dome together with the hostage diverter. As a result the grid fin actuators need to be moved down so are recessed into the tank.

Maybe the reason that the OLM and tower is slowed is that they are designing it for version 3 super tall Starships !

6:33 I noticed on the X stream for the launch attempt that at the time of lift off, the boosters fuel tank was not completely full. Check it out yourselves. It does line with these numbers. I still don't know why they did it though.

@Spherical_Cow

Ай бұрын

They had no payload mass on the Ship, and they didn't want to repeat the excess propellant dumping exercise that doomed the second flight. So, I believe both Ship and Booster were loaded to only ~85% of full capacity (as can be observed also on the SpaceX 'telemetry' graphics around 10 min prior to launch.)

Those positioning thrusters may have to fight hard against a good stiff sea-breeze, unless captures will only be attempted in ideal conditions.

Maybe we will see a new version of the booster after the new stage zero.

Going to need bigger Mega bays ....Giga bays!😮

Great video. I hope we get some of these answers soon. It would be amazing if Elon would do a subscriber space and address some of these questions with us.

What is the maximum height of a booster that can be built in the megabays ? Could they tear down high bay for an extra tall megabay for taller boosters? Leaving the existing megabays for taller starships at higher production volumes?

For me the big question is why SpaceX focus on the version with pez doors only. It seems to be death end, as they can apply that only for deploy starlinks and nothing else, but there was already a lot of efforts given to stanghten structure around pez doors, try pez doors performance etc. If that version take so much effort how long it take to prepare "fuel tank" , different / bigger satellite deploy version or cargo for ISS and of course HLS versions. In my opinion they should focus on more universal version, what do you think?

@MrBuyerman

Ай бұрын

They are focused on Starlink because there is no interest in Starship as a payload launch vehicle by anyone other than Starlink yet. There is still much debate as to whether this ship can get anything to orbit, let alone a commercial 100 tonne payload, so designing payload mechanisms seems premature. In addition, NASA is paying for human rated to support Artemis. Do you see anything like life support apparatus yet? This is just another Elon con.

2 videos one day? epic

A Saturn V had half the thrust of a Starship and could put over 100 tons into space. So the fact Elon is saying it could only do 40 to 50 tons means there's something really not right.

I think they will build the second OLIT for the new v2+3 Booster specs. So they can go on with testing v1 boosters und v2 ships. When OLIT 2 is functional they will change to booster v2 and make OLIT 1 changes. That would privide constand testing.

Whoohoo! "...Changes many...", I want to see thrust augmentation rings, Starship & booster, turning all those long flametails into propulsion!

@hamzahkhan8952

2 ай бұрын

im pretty sure the booster reaches subsonic speeds before the landing burn starts. the booster would be aiming for outside the launch site when its manuvering with its grid fins (incase engines fails or it loses control) so it would prob not hit anything important. its possible that it could crash into the pad after the landing burn starts. but if it did, it would be at considerably lower speeds than that of it during free fall. also, if the booster ever diverted from its intented path towards the launch or build site, im sure AFTS would destroy the booster before impact.

@shaung949

2 ай бұрын

That would be why it comes in at such an angle to the tower, it makes the initial decent over water. Only if things are going well would it turn to land on the tower.

Did You notice the differences also for gridfins? and how would they integrate in the LOX tanks, instead of being on top of them.. ?

So the V1 of New Glenn will take a similar payload mass to LEO as Starship V1?

Removing the heat shield on super heavy is wild

Oooooh I'm all special!

Seems more efficient to have an OLM dedicated to landing (no plumbing for launching) ... still think a mobile transporter for catching is better (the "legs" would be on the transporter not the booster/starship). This approach would increase the ability of the "ground" to adjust its location ...

there going to have to increase the size of the launch tower for upgrade version 3 possibly 2 as well as how would they get astronauts in there

On the infographic detailing the future Starships v2 and v3 look skinnier than the current gen. I wonder if that was intentional or not?

The booster will cook the landing zone if it’s anything like the render

I wonder if the current pad setup could even handle the power of a starship V3 launch

Probably a raptor 3-boost with a bigger combustion chamber and less specific impulse. 20x 330 tons and 13x 280 tons is around 10'000 tons.

I’m not sure if it was pointed out in the video that inner rings of raptors on v2 & v3 booster are mounted lower than outer ring and nozzles do not form a flat surface anymore? That might be due to more space effectively used for propellent/oxygen tanks (missing vollume from all those calculations found in the aft section) and tank dome’s shape dictating this offset in engine placement. What do you guys think?

@ale131296

2 ай бұрын

The inner engines are already mounted lower on the current version than the outer engines. This is due to the inner Raptors being attached to the plate which is attached to the aft dome while the outer engines are attached to the outer rim of the bottom of the booster so the center engines stick out further down than the outer engines.
