Starship in 'Two Weeks' - Starliner When? - Deep Space Updates - May 23

Ғылым және технология

Catching up with a lot of news. China launches a new Long March rocket, Blue Origin's New Shepard starts flying humans again. Boeing once again fail to do something with Starliner on time. SpaceX launch a lot of satellites and get ready for Starship flight number 4.
And, Rocket Factory Augsburg test a rocket stage in Scotland at Saxa Vord spaceport!

    “Captain’s log, star date 2364.9. We have been asked to help Boeing record the launch of its Starliner capsule, approximately 300 years late and $1.94 quadrillion over budget.”

    Scott Manley said that the meteor was only like 1% less bright than the sun, but according to wiki, "Magnitude values do not have a unit. The scale is logarithmic and defined such that a magnitude 1 star is exactly 100 times brighter than a magnitude 6 star. Thus each step of one magnitude is ≈ 2.512 times brighter than the magnitude 1 higher. The brighter an object appears, the lower the value of its magnitude, with the brightest objects reaching negative values."

    The teen video was a cinematographer’s wet dream. The timing, acting, framing - wow. That goes into the annals of serendipitous selfie videos. It’d be impossible to replicate as a live shot by professionals unless they had a spare space rock and the means to direct it just so. And a whole bunch of actors being filmed at once to get the best shot out of it.

    A real money shot. I wonder what the context was: Did these teens set up their phone like that by accident (i.e. planning to film something else entirely) or were they actually meaning to catch a "glimpse" of the meteor? -- For a phone at night the quality was really good. Also enjoyed the film-like reaction of the person in the frame when the atmosphere lit up.

    I was thinking, the navy had problems with the welding on it's submarines. They fixed the problem with they would pull the name of a welder out of a hat and that person would be a passenger on the trial run of the sub. Welds got better. So, my suggestion is 4 Boeing managers will be the first passengers on stayliner until we get through all of the management at Boeing. Solve 2 problems at once.

So they are burning Boeing own money. They are pushing starliner as if they don't deliver they will have to give back those money they cashed already. But afaik they just want to fill contract and drop this project eventually, and they DON'T accept any more fixed price contracts.

    Somewhat. There's a strong blue-green magnesium line or two in most fireballs/meteors. There's also usually a strong yellow sodium line, and sometimes a blue calcium line. However, sometimes there's a lot less sodium, and for chemical/plasma-physics/atmospheric reasons that are part complicated and part mysterious, faster-impacting fireballs that explode higher in the atmosphere tend to be bluer. So this one may have been lower in sodium, leaving it blue-green rather than solidly green with the yellow mixed in, and/or faster. The ESA has stated that it was likely a comet fragment, i.e more ice than silicate/carbonate rocks or iron. Comet chunks tend to hit at faster speeds. They may well be deriving that opinion in part from its color.

    Love that line Scott "that is called jerk". Back when I was an active skydiver the proper term is "Opening Shock", when an Unreefed reserve parachute takes you from terminal velocity down to under 20 mph vertically in just under a half second. The unofficial term used by observers on the ground witnessing an explosively fast opening over head back then was "Ha-Wonka!!" . Usually expressed with sympathy as the jumper concerned probably just experienced, very briefly, up to 12gees. The jumper concerned was usually grounded for the rest of the day as he or she would have a nice concussion at that point, with a screaming headache. Food for thought.

    You are likely well known enough that if you put out feelers I wouldn't be at all surprised if someone let you learn to fly an already existing airship.

I also wouldn't be surprised to see a younger company partner with you for the publicity, I know there are a few lesser known airships out there right now

    Scott … you would love the atomic museum in Albuquerque NM. Not just for the actual rockets and a B52 and all things related to atomics of the Cold War &WW2 with lots of interesting technical details, tactical details. For example, one display explains using a drogue chute that slows a supersonic missile to slow speed at astonishing deceleration (100+ G deceleration with details on chute webbing that can handle huge forces). And if you do go to Albuquerque two other AAA quality museums are the manned flight balloon museum and Natural History Museum (best dinosaur displays).

    The very day you released this, we got a really good press conference just a few hours before explaining everything going on. Had the launch gone ahead on May 6 as scheduled, the leak would've been detected on-orbit and it would've been looked when Starliner docked to ISS, and then they would've determined it was safe, and brought spacecraft and its crew back, possibly a few days late.

    The question I have is why this was not detected in the factory before it was placed on the rocket. I have worked with helium and it is not hard to detect leaks. There is no good reason for this to have gone undetected until right after the launch. Helium is used to force furel through the thrusters. Potentially if you loose too much helium while in orbit it would have not been capable of manuverig and slowing for reentry. Potentially leaving astronauts stranded in low earth orbit.

    @@stevenf1678 Depends on when it started and the leak rate was so small and slow that it was not a danger to a craft designed to stay on orbit for months. Plus they have the ability to isolate that particular thruster or the whole string, if need be, and still have enough redundancy to maneuver or perform a deorbit burn.

    SpaceX is targeting June 5 for Starship's fourth launch, pending regulatory approval. In comparison to the last one, this launch is planned to include a Hot Stage Ring jettison and Starship landing burn SpaceX also posted an update on SFT-3 which states that - 6 Raptor engines shut down early during the boostback burn - Only 2 engines ignited for the landing burn, leading to lower than expected thrust and loss of the booster - The most likely cause of this was continued filter blockage - The propellant transfer demo was successful - The most likely cause of S28's loss of control was clogging of the valves responsible for roll control
