What's Going On In This SpaceX Rocket Video?

Ғылым және технология

NSF's John Galloway talks through interesting things you can see on the Falcon 9 rocket cam video released by SpaceX. The original video was found on SpaceX's Twitter feed, showing a single take of the booster launch and landing for the Transporter-6 mission from Cape Canaveral SLC-40. Twitter video source quality was 720p. Edited by Thomas Hayden.

    John, former NASA spokesman at KSC here. That was a darn good analysis. The main reason they delay the leg deployment until the last second is to keep from burning the legs. I wish they'd describe how they navigate the booster with such precision - but that's likely their secret. As always, it is simply astounding. (I was also an AF pilot and WISH we had that kind of precision landing ability!)

    They did talk some about it. It's just a fancy flight controller with a GPS and an altimeter. They put into it the target coordinates, the estimated wind, and the rest is the controller solving the trajectory optimization problem in real time. There was a good article on it, which also gave some additional references: _"SpaceX’s self-landing rocket is a flying robot that’s great at math"_

    One point you didn't mention, but i think fits very well into this discussion, especially adding to the whole point of flame expansion: You can see that at the beginning the engines produce these long orange flames. As the rocket goes up and air pressure falls, the flames expand. But then one more thing happens: the flames become less and less bright, until at some point you can see barely any flame at all. Just before stage separation there is only a black cloud of exhaust gas coming out of the engines. The boost back burn does not produce a visible flame either, again only a dark cloud. Reason: The engines are running fuel-rich. That means that the mixture rate between fuel and oxygen inside the engines is such that not enough oxygen is present to burn all the fuel. There are several reasons why that is done, and i don't want to start that explanation since it would make this comment 5 times longer. But the point is that there is unburnt kerosene and soot coming out of the engine, together with all the exhaust gasses. That is all the black stuff you can see when the engines are running at high altitude. (And also the stuff that causes the "jelly-fish effect" if the lighting is just right) When the engines are running at low altitude, the exhaust flow mixes with ambient air. This allows the fuel from the exhaust stream to react with oxygen from the ambient, and burn. This causes the bright orange flames you see behind the rocket. Or at least the largest part of those flames. But as the rocket rises up in altitude the air density drops, there is less and less oxygen available in the ambient air, and the flames dim down, until they eventually fade out and you only see the soot.

    ​@@bdickinson6751 One of the purposes of running fuel rich is to *drastically* reduce both mass, which would require a great deal more fuel to offset (and the fuel to *lift* that fuel, Tsiolkovsky's not very forgiving on that), and part/material complexity. By running fuel rich, they give a film over the nozzle that keeps it cool. If they instead went with more "active" cooling (and ran perfect fuel/oxydizer ratios and had an idealistic environment), they would need to potentially change the nozzle material, as well as add all of the mass and complexity of pumping the coolant and removing heat from the coolant too. Energy cost of manufacture of the components themselves would potentially overshadow the fuel saved, and paired with the fuel needed to *then* lift those components, and it's *very* likely far worse, ecologically. Lastly, you *still* have to err towards fuel rich. Rocket engines are just fire. Fuel, oxygen, heat. Given enough heat and oxygen (which you have in a rocket engine) nearly *anything* can work as a fuel. Including the nozzle itself. Excess oxydizer can and often will *find* something to react with to burn when provided an ignition source. Running engine rich is *very* bad for a rocket. The other detail is the fuel used. While hydrogen is great for cleanliness through the launch, that may be offset by the costs of production and infrastructure. It's also simply *very* hard to work with, as shown by the repeated issues on the ground side infrastructure for Artemis 1. RP-1 and Methane are simpler, and simpler allows a much higher launch cadence (which favors reuse, which means *not* producing and then throwing away the rocket after one flight, which is *also* better environmentally). Eventually, maybe, we'll get hydrogen production from green sources, cooling, storage, and use down to allow the same levels of use, but that'll be a while yet. Also, cutting out all spaceflight tomorrow would provide such a negligible change in carbon emissions on the whole that it's *definitely* not the tree to bark up.

    One little note: Falcon 9 is not falling during the boost-back burn, in fact, it continues to gain altitude well after the end of the burn (at roughly 3:23 min into the flight). During the Transporter 6 mission, the booster eventually crested at 146 km roughly 4:31 min into the flight. - Edit: Sorry, KZread is reading the mission elapsed times as timestamps for this video, resulting in nonsense links.

    It's falling (ballistic) the instant the engines are off. Whether it still has some upward momentum is a red herring unless it has escape/orbital velocity and vector. But it lacks that velocity, so it's falling back to Earth, period.

    Yes, and the boost-back burn is a horizontal vector to cancel horizontal thrust and return to the cape. There is also quite a bit of slewing (horizontal flying) by the booster after the entry burn, so the return is more than just a ballistic trajectory. (If the booster loses complete control, it's ballistic flight will leave it short of the lz and it will fall into the water)

It's actually cancelling out the horizontal component of the vector away from the LZ, and it's still ballistic, which is falling, even if it's falling up temporarily. The flamey bit needs to be pointed a different direction for it not to be falling. NSF is right, he's wrong.

    Another thing that's great about this video is watching the F9's position relative to the Earth during the boost back burn. You can see it moving downrange as it flips, and then slow down, but still travel upwards as it completes its "altered" ballistic trajectory. The Earth appears to stop revolving below, but keeps getting farther away. The boost back burn is intended to change the horizontal velocity and direction of the booster, but no so much in the vertical. It starts to descend a little later.

    Missing from the video is the real time velocity display. I find the speed reached by the falling 1st stage is slowed during the re entry burn but is still quite fast. Then the speed starts to climb back up until the atmospheric drag starts to slow it down again. Most of the speed scrub down to landing is accomplished by that drag, so the actual landing burn is short.

Up until that point she was for some reason my favorite vehicle and I was very sad that day.

    I’ve lived in brevard for thirty years. Seeing rockets going up all the time became normal. But when space x had the first reentry landing coming in, they did it at night and I had no idea they were shooting a rocket off. I literally thought we were getting nuked or invaded by something cause it just pops through the clouds. (It was a really cloudy night) one of the coolest things I’ve seen in my life right up there with the total solar eclipse, which I had to drive a few states up to fully see the moon cover the sun. Amazing as hell and so happy to have been blessed to do so.

Also nice when you explain the site's names and nomenclature.

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts and videos. Nicely done description of what’s happening to the booster. I personally enjoy looking at the data that’s usually down on the left corner of the screen. It’s fascinating to see the acceleration and deceleration reflected in the numbers in relation to the altitude. Truly amazing how much the atmosphere density adds to the deceleration as it gets closer to the landing. Might make an interesting video.

    Hi beloved NSF team. I've been watching your channel for years and I'm always amazed at what we users can learn about it. Whether from your live show (especially the cooperation with the museum in NY, with their super presenter). And I prefer to see your launch-coverings by far (or, for example, the evaluation of the environmental requirements for Boca). So thank you very much again and good luck Thom, Alex, Michael, Jack, Chris B. (hey, you have so many great talents among you and yours stands out too!), Adrian, Ian (!), Colin, Katya, Mary, Mark, Julia, Brady, Haygen, Trevor, Leo, Anthony, Danny, Mihir, Tobias, Tyler, Lee, Will, Pete and last but certainly not least John! (Sorry if I didn't name anyone and thanks for the people behind the scenes too!). All the best for your channel and you personally!
