Look bud, it's obvious to all of us apart from muskbabies at this point that Starship is designed exclusively for starlink trucking. That's why they have to design special advanced boiloff mechanisms for the lunar starship - it's not meant to be in space more than a few hous, let alone on the absurd trip to Mars.

The only rapid reusability will happen in China, this is why you don't let them develop the technology because once they have solid footing in the critical components then they'll dramatically lower the cost of production (see: high speed rail)
Unfortunately the US has lost the ability to sanction the Chinese space industry like it can with chips.

It really depends on how big your budget is, what kind of technical expertise you can hire, and what time table you're working against. Staged combustion would be the better choice by the numbers but it would require a larger budget, a more experienced engineering team, and would have a longer development cycle. If you've just got a bunch of enthusiastic aerospace engineering grads and a moderate budget working on a rocket you need to get to the pad in a year or two then a gas generator design would be a better fit.

Ironic as the most "reusable" space flight device is what we ACTUAL smart people call "space infrastructure"....you know like how a train tack is reusable or a highway. Sure entropy applies and maintenance is needed as with all things. But "reusing" a rocket a handful of times with extensive repair in between is a laughable usage of the word. I mean a 747 is reusable as it can refuel and take back off from where it lands with a new set of cargo or passengers.
I really REALLY wish you space fags weren't such retarded retards. You're what's wrong with the world, I just need you all to know that.

As this Anon pointed out, >>16025479
it's the cooler parts of the engine that are the coking issue. In an ox rich staged combustion engine, the turbopump (and only the turbopump) operates as an ox-rich burner, so there shouldn't be as much in the way of free carbon to gum up the works.

JAXA published a press kit for Friday's H3 launch. Reading through it via machine translation is a bitch, but there's some interesting things in there. The H-2A could only manage four launches per year which JAXA/MHI recognize as a major contributor to its higher launch prices. The H3 is planned to do at least 6 commercial launches per year in addition to Japanese government flights, so it can be built on a proper assembly line instead of bespoke, and Mitsubishi's replaced 90% of the autistic-grade aerospace electronics with commercial components from their automotive branch. There's also a whole section about the failed test launch last year.

It's AETB-TUFI, maybe a bit of a variation on it due to the exact materials not being available anymore. It's almost exactly a Shuttle tile. If you want to avoid the "potential of huge danger" connotation you can say it's based on probably the most advanced Shuttle tile that was only used in certain areas, but it's still basically a Shuttle tile. The differences are in homogeneity of form and attachment method for the majority of tiles.

Obviously they aren't literally ripped off an orbiter and put on Starship, but the differences appear to be so minuscule, if any, that it's fair to call them that as shorthand. Of course, "like/very similar to/closely based on Shuttle tiles" would be the technically correct version.
>assuming they will have the same problems as shuttle tiles does not make sense
I'm not saying that, but looking at the thing they are almost identical to is a valuable tool to identify potential issues (or boons, or just characteristics in general), e.g strike resistance likely very similar, waterproofing agent reapplication probably needed. Of course context is also important, i.e. differences in form diversity and attachment mechanisms, or also that strike resistance may be similar, but strikes also far less likely due to being mounted on top.
>or that if they have problems, they are not fixable
I'm not saying this.

There's nothing proprietary about being able to send a radio wave to an orbiting spacecraft anon. They just need to be able to handle the QAM and whatever else SpaceX does to the signal.
The weird thing is why the press release says "Starlink" and not the military's "Starshield" -- the military is insisting on making themselves a problem for SpaceX

Don't matter now. But north and south orientation early on depends on your hemisphere. if your station is in southern, you aim south. If it's northern, you aim north. But as I said, its irrelevant now. Just point straight and it works due to number of sats in sky being abundant.

It's not actually that bad. A C3 of -2 approximates most TLI trajectories and that that line looks a lot less validated than the others. NG probably doesn't have the best payload capacity to interplanetary trajectories but given its design and flight profile its actual performance should look like a bigger, slightly better performing Falcon 9..

NG has to start the final stage at very low speed in order to reuse the first stage, none of the other rockets in that chart have to do that
The original design of NG was to have a 1x BE-4U second stage, and an optional 1x BE-3U third stage for more demanding missions. I think the BE-4U second stage was replaced with a 2x BE-3U second stage because they can't produce the BE-4 fast enough. So the current NG design is a bit of a kludge solution

>While some of the energetic beta particles followed the Earth's magnetic field and illuminated the sky, other high-energy electrons became trapped and formed radiation belts around the Earth. The weaponeers became quite worried when three satellites in low Earth orbit were disabled. These included TRAAC and Transit 4B. In the months that followed these man-made radiation belts eventually caused six or more satellites to fail, as radiation damaged their solar arrays or electronics, including the first commercial relay communication satellite, Telstar, as well as the United Kingdom's first satellite, Ariel 1. Detectors on Telstar, TRAAC, Injun, and Ariel 1 were used to measure distribution of the radiation produced by the tests.
Or, if you're not interested in going after satellites, you could use it as part of a fractional orbital bombardment system

FOBS is a nuclear delivery system that comes in at a much lower altitude so established radar systems can provide less warning, or one that just lets the payload approach its target from the south instead of over the pole where everyone is already watching

The DCSS line has already been shut down. The tooling might not have been dismantled yet but it's past the point where reactivating it would be worth the budget. Centaur V would be a better third stage anyway and you get some pretty good economies of scale as long as Vulcan is still operational.

Strategically, this is somewhat ominous, but it's not a threat that anyone would ever actually follow through on. You could use high altitude nuclear detonations to wipe the board of all satellite infrastructure in LEO but that means taking out ALL the satellites in LEO and the 80+ countries that own them are not going to be very happy about the hit to their economic and military reconnaissance capabilities. This is one of the few things that could get America and China into a military alliance, even before you consider the basic taboo against the use of nuclear weapons.

The real conspiracy is that Musk is behind the Russo-Ukraine war, so that both sides would end up using starlink, leading to the destruction of LEO satellites to deny the enemy of it's use and therefore have positioned SpaceX as the only launch provider capable of re-establishing global communications all for the low low price of a starlink terminal and a monthly subscription

if russia is allowed to develop a nuclear asat then other countries will follow suit, especially india. remember they rushed to develop asats because of how they were excluded by other major countries in global security treaties.
also this will mean the end of the outer space treaty since its specifically made for nuclear weapons in space. and if its gone that means militaries will be allowed to station forces on the moon, mars, and other celestial bodies. artemis accords will also change because the OST is the legal bedrock of the accords. countries will be able to claim territory on celestial bodies.

>militaries will be allowed to station forces on the moon, mars, and other celestial bodies. artemis accords will also change because the OST is the legal bedrock of the accords. countries will be able to claim territory on celestial bodies.
Would be based. Though the OST only prohibits placing nuclear weapons in space, not preparing a nuclear ASAT missile. The exact wording:
>States shall not place nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction in orbit or on celestial bodies or station them in outer space in any other manner
Which by my reading doesn't even bar detonating nuclear weapons in space (though that would run up against other treaties like the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, andโmuch more importantlyโpiss a lot of powerful states off).
And realistically, even if Russia abandoned the OST other countries would follow most of its provisions simply because there are few occasions where violating it is worthwhile. Stationing military forces on the Moon doesn't achieve anything unless another state has done so or there are disputes over valuable assets, and such circumstances are far too extreme to be influenced by a single treaty.

they did have one, Polyus, but it weighed 100 tons
I don't think they managed to shrink it down to two and a half tons, which is the launch capacity of Soyuz 2.1v

modern fiber lasers should do the trick, no? the problem then is the long range optics, but the big part of polyus was probably the laser itself I'm guessing

i believe this. russia is the only country that has been experimenting with cool uses for reactors in recent times.

It's a meme simulation. The ullage pressure doesn't allow it to separate from the bottom unless a bubble is sucked through the entire fuel column.

hmm brian weeden suggested this earlier. i doubted his tweet cuz i didnt think the evidence was good enough, but maybe he was right.
https://nitter.cz/brianweeden/statu
specifically he cites this 2019 article about russian nuclear powered spacecraft
> Nasenkovโs vague description of the integrated EW system covers all three aspects of electronic warfare, namely electronic attack (the offensive use of electromagnetic energy against the enemyโs combat capability), electronic protection (the defense against the enemyโs electronic attack systems), and electronic warfare support (the gathering of intelligence on the enemyโs radio-electronic systems.) It is hard to say what exactly the role of the space-based component is. Assuming that the EW satellite is indeed Ekipazh, the most plausible objective would be electronic attack, the only of the three that would seem to require the amount of energy warranting the use of a nuclear power source. However, a combination of the various functions is also possible.

the article mentioned that a demo was likely to launch in a few years. so maybe the feb 9 launch was the demo.
>It may well be several more years before that launch takes place. Although the initial goal appears to have been to finish test flights by 2021, the available procurement documentation suggests that the first mission is still some time off. Ekipazh may well be experiencing the same kind of delays suffered by many other Russian space projects due to both budgetary issues and Western-imposed sanctions that have complicated the supply of electronic components for space hardware. On top of that, the development of a nuclear-powered satellite is bound to pose some daunting technical challenges that may further contribute to the delays.

The asteroid impactor will not divert the asteroid enough, and western media will pretend the Russians aimed Apophis at us.

They already did, fifty years ago. It was a sodium cooled reactor and a gigantic mess, because the liquid sodium coolant often leaked after decommissioning, generating a mist of radioactive droplets. The largest droplets are still in orbit decades later and could potentially collide with other satellites.
Funny, the Soviets named that reactor Upravlyaemy Sputnik Aktivnyy... or US-A.

The OST only says that

The OST doesn't ban nuclear weapons being temporarily in space, because that would include banning nuclear ICBMs, FOBS and ABM missiles. The Spartan ABM missile wasn't banned under the OST, and so neither would a nuclear anti-satellite missile be.

Some countries with pitiful stockpiles have sent a considerable fraction. US alone has ~6000 Abrams tanks. They have not sent thousands over like people like you would suggest. It's true that Europe doesn't send much shells. Do you know why that is? Because their economies are not on a wartime footing unlike Russia's. How is that hard to understand. If they are not on a wartime production spree then it is disingenuous to say that Russia is defeating "a 30 nation western army in Ukraine"
>>16027536
My post had nothing to do with that. It's just a response to the Vatnik cope that they are fighting a substantial might of the West, when in reality just the Marine Corps aviation could give VVS a run for their money.
I only hope their generals aren't as delusional as you. Otherwise they might have a go at the Baltics seeing how they already defeated the West in Ukraine.

Neither side is using their full combat power or full economies. It's just another proxy war, it's not a total war like WW2 was.
Russia is spending around 3-4% of GDP on the war, judging by their military expenditures planned for 2024 (6%) compared to 2021 (2.7%), although that might be an overestimate because Russia is also increasing military expenditures to counter Poland's military buildup, NATO expansion, the European Sky Shield Initiative, and the expansion of NATO's rapid reaction force from 40k to 300k, as well as to reform and reequip the army and retool the MIC based on lessons learned in Ukraine, such as by placing more emphasis on drones, space and electronic warfare.
https://archive.is/https://www.bloo
For context, the US spent 2.3% of GDP on the Vietnam war at the peak, and 4% of GDP on the Korean war. On WW2, which was a real "total war" during which countries exerted themselves to the maximum, the US spent about 50% of GDP and the USSR spent about 60% of GDP
https://archive.is/https://www.econ
Also, both sides are fighting with one hand tied behind their back. NATO air forces can't be used directly, and there are limits on targeting the Russian deep rear in Russian territory. Russia can't shoot at the satellites and aircraft that work for Ukraine, nor can it shoot at the Ukrainian deep rear that is in NATO territory. Nukes can't be used either.
The real war is the sanctions war; the shooting war in Ukraine is just a sideshow and a pretext for conducting the sanctions war.

The Russians might be working on both. They would want powerful jammers as weapons that can be used while staying below the escalation threshold of shooting war. They might also want space nukes for WW3 to have as a scorched earth weapon that they can use if they think they're losing the war in space.
