Starlink 6-12 & SpaceX/NASA - Crew-6 - Deorbit Burn & Splashdown - September 4, 2023

Ғылым және технология

As we stood up in the middle of the night here in Germany, we learned that SpaceX changed the lift-off time for Starlink 6-12 again, and it was hitting our time window before the stream of the homecoming of SpaceX/NASA Crew 6.
So, we decided to show you before the Crew-6 stream the Starlink 6-12 live launch from LC-39A of the Kennedy Space Center. The lift-off happened at 10:47 p.m. EDT (September 3), 02:47 UTC/GMT, and 04:47 CEST.
On Sunday, September 3, at 7:05 a.m. ET, Dragon autonomously undocked from the International Space Station. After performing a series of departure burns to move away from the space station, Dragon will conduct multiple orbit-lowering maneuvers, jettison the trunk, and re-enter Earth’s atmosphere for splashdown off the coast of Florida approximately 17 hours later at 12:17 a.m. EDT, 04:17 UTC/GMT, and 06:17 CEST on Monday, September 4.
SpaceX Crew-6 is the sixth crewed operational NASA Commercial Crew flight of a Crew Dragon spacecraft and the ninth overall crewed orbital flight. The mission launched on 2 March 2023 at 05:34:14 UTC and successfully docked to the International Space Station (ISS) on 3 March 2023 at 06:40 UTC. The Crew-6 mission transported four crew members to the International Space Station (ISS), Stephen Bowen, NASA (Spacecraft Commander); Warren Hoburg, NASA (Spacecraft Pilot); Sultan Al Neyadi, MBRSC (Mission Specialist 1); and Andrey Fedyaev, Roscosmos (Mission Specialist 2).
The timing of the deorbit burn and the splashdown depends on many factors, including weather in the splashdown zones in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. So, schedules at the moment are NET (Not Earlier Than).

    You still remember as people get back from the Moon between 1968 and 1972? Same way. Done by human innovation. It was only a short period in time between the first flight of an airplane with an engine and the Moon landing.

    The vestibular system is getting a bit mad when coming back to Earth. Astronauts need a time to adapt to Earth gravity (1G) again. When they move too fast, world is shaking. And, you have the feeling that you are falling.

    Interesting that the video is mostly a reasonable quality, while the audio from Dragon is consistently low quality (lotta quirky noise). I have noticed this on other flights up to space and down again. Thank you for making such up-close-and-personal filming of these events publicly available. I stopped reading the 'live chat window' when the whole thing turned totally STUPID. There are a lot of stupid people out there and their numbers seem to be increasing.

    Voice is going via ground stations, video is via satellites. If there is a handover between satellites, you hear the sound but no video. Mostly they switch then in that periods to mission controls. In regards of chat, mostly these very bright humans are intercepted with comments by other chatters, but sometimes we do have to show yellow and red cards like today. AWACS and the SR-71 is always deployed. Today it was a bit difficult, because the channel is increasing back to the top after years. We stream simultanously on KZread and Facebook.

    @@Space-AffairsThank you for the explanations. I suspected something of the sort you describe concerning communications. No doubt that can be sorted for the long term when current priorities move to the background. I still clearly remember waking up in New Zealand of a morning in 1969, switching on my tiny wee transistor radio, and hearing live voices from the MOON. That is still the biggest oh-WOW moment of my life.

    Why did they name it dragon?

    That is all from Musk. "Dragon" comes from the Peter, Paul & Mary song about a boy and an imaginary dragon that has long been associated with smoking marijuana. Was originally called "Puff the Magic Dragon", but Musk said that people found out, it doesn't work. Falcon comes from the Millenium Falcon, the ship in Star Wars of Han Solo, the "9" coming from that they use in the first stage 9 "Merlin" engines; a Merlin is a variety of medium-sized falcon. Since the Merlin engine is currently used to power Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy, that fits nicely. The autonomous drone ship names "A Shortfall Of Gravitas - ASOG", "Of Course I still Love You - OCISLY", and "Just Read The Instructions - JRTI" coming from a SciFi novel series by Ian M. Banks. Specifically, his novel The Player of Games, in which OCISLY and JRTI are sentient spaceships. SpaceX’s other rocket engines have equally avian monikers: Kestrel (That was the engine name of the first rocket by SpaceX), the "Falcon 1" and "Raptor", which are representing the big engines of the Super Heavy Booster and the Starship, which are in development. You know maybe that especially this project was named at the beginning "Big Fu%&§&! Rocket - BFR". But they changed it then to "Super Heavy Booster - SHB" and "Starship" only. NASA and probably other clients like the DoD, Air Force and the Space Force would be not amused if they would have staid on that name. ;) -> "Which rocket system would fits best for our extremely expensive payload?" "Well, I think the Big Fu%&§&! Rocket would fit best!" ;)

    Are we SpaceX? As mention, call their HQ and ask them, if they can do the Starlink launches with a commentator, and going back to KZread instead of "X". Also, you are free to leave? And mostly: there is a video description existing.
