Joe Tegtmeyer went on a tour of the Boring Companys Bastrop facility, its on the other side of the road of a new Starlink factory. Apparently the rapid protyping they do with the boring machine uses the same philosophies as Starship prototyping does, but not sure if they actually talk about some space versions of these boring machines (the videos will be released in 2h)

CZ-6C is arguably different enough from CZ-6A to qualify as a different rocket. The difference is not just a lack of side boosters. CZ-6C's first stage is shorter, and CZ-6C's upper stage is 2.9m diameter instead of CZ-6A's 3.35m diameter.

Spacegoy5 says so (he doesnt outright say it because he's not allowed to, but he nods that it's true), and he is uniroinically a good source despite being deranged, because he works on HLS and doesn't have reason to make up falsehoods since he could lose his job. One thing we know for sure is that raptors have failed on every flight, so you have to come up with a reason why if the preburner thing isnt real.

For flight 2 the booster exploded shortly after separation due to raptor failure. The fluid hammer schizo proved to be incorrect.
For flight 3 the booster cut its engines before completing boostback because some failed. There was a clear energetic event at the back of the booster. Then only a tiny raction relit on the landing burn, so its safe to say there was a problem. The ship also had an energetic event at the back on engine shutdown which caused the uncontrolled spin. The hot gas thrusters were also likely clogged by water ice which is why they didnt fire at all, or maybe the energetic event vented all the fuel into space.

It could be cool enough that most of the sun facing side is habitable. Once they enter the modern age they would spend hundreds of years exploring the dark side and discovering new exotic life on their own planet. It would be a great place for astronomy, putting a radiotelescope on the dark side for them would be like us putting one on the far side of the moon. The light and dark faces of the planet would probably be a central feature of their culture and mythology.

the actual biomes would depend on rotation speed, which would in turn depend on star mass
to be tidally locked you would have to rotate, which means coriolis effects which means coriolis winds

you do have stuff like hot desert right next to tundra which is kind of funny but with the fast rotators you have liquid water around the whole planet, the biomes would be affected by light though so I don't think this was an actual biome map, it was a climate map (so precipitation + temperature)

>Consistent winds, orographic rains, and permanent shadows may cause vastly different conditions to exist on either side of even small mountains.
meaning you would have wastelands in the shadows of mountains (they never get light) even if it was fine temperature and precipitation wise

this is actually really fucking cool. they seem to actually want to do cool stuff but still launch. i dont expect them to do too much but i think that they could be bought up for a massive amount of money for that tech. i wonder if other companies do this but just keep it hidden, seems like very very smart engineering. this is the second small lift rocket that i actually support next to stokes upcoming one.

5 day rotation would mean it would have to have a 5 day year to match right? So for a 1 solar mass sun it would have to be 0.057 au away. 17.5 times closer so 300 times the irradiation.

Medsector startups dont get funding because its just an easier bet to go with the massive conglomerates that already exist and are public in that sector. Meanwhile, the spaceflight sectors massive conglomerates usually arent directly public, which means VC funding will more likely than not go to startups whereas contracts go to the conglomerates. Its not a fair comparison since your sector is much more developed though I understand where the frustration is coming from.

Dude what are you smoking. The EU will never spend such a gigantic sum in duplicating a service that isn't really needed and that the US can already provide.
A LEO megaconstellation is only valuable if you want to project global power. The EU again and again has shown that it is not willing to be a global player, but a client continent of the US. Eurocrats are 100% US controlled and don't really have among their priorities doing anything serious in space. On the contrary, billions are being wasted in pursuing anti-european interests, such as funding the Ucrainan war profiteering for the next 10 years.

Theoretically euro gobt sats are supposed to be launched onboard european rockets, so this is a massive new low for ESA.

Russia has systems and could build even better ones but has no money or political will. Roskosmos lived off ESA's Soyuz launches, now it's over.

Ive noticed a pattern from anons in this general. We all are way too aggressive on things that really dont require aggression at all. Its really not necessary in most posts I see with an aggresive tone, even if you think someone is wrong about something you dont need to always call them retards or niggers, you can just discuss the topic, and it makes the other person more likely to agree. And if youre responding to hostility when someone points something out, you dont always need to be right you know. Coming here to /sci/ and especially /sfg/ I think our main goal is to discuss and learn more right? Being rude is the #1 way to shut others out, so you cant learn, discuss or educate them on anything.
I think we all should try to take a more mellow approach to posting here, it helps with cohesion and I believe would be a net positive compared to constant arguing for the smallest of things. Non aggression also has the added benefit of not replying to bait as much as answers are either thoughtful as to why they are wrong or anons dont feel the need to reply as much to things that are trying to make them angry.
TLDR, lets try to get along everyone for the health of discussion in this general.

Still being nicer to them if they are saying objectively retarded things makes them more open to understand their mistake. Would it be better to just be kinder, maybe its not intentionally stupid behavior and they really dont know. They could learn from you instead, being rude will just make them more likely to repeat what they had been saying and annoy you in the future.

It's a legacy measurement from Apollo-Soyuz that's just been transferred into the future through multiple standards. IPAS-75/89/95/IDSS all have had a 31" passage diameter. It's awkward because payload designers really want something bigger but they're stuck because spacecraft designers need something that can dock to stations currently in flight.

Tory was pretty enthusiastic a while ago about shutting down the old Delta and Atlas lines so they could be converted over to Vulcan production. I'm pretty sure that the Delta line has been cleared out but the Atlas line still seems to still be tricking out some hardware. I can't find any specific details about rocket storage but there are a few mentions here and there about a storage facility somewhere at Cape Canaveral.

Not yet known. Theyre still designing Falcon for 40 flight limit so we wont even know until we actually reach that limit it seems. In reality, its just whenever they decide to put a rocket out of comission. They could keep replacing parts on Starship until none of the first parts remain and it would still be considered the same ship so

Never, cores are too heavy to do a good heat transference, temperatures are still too low.

Found it! It's called the "Atlas Spaceflight Operations Center" and seems to be a combo of Atlas mission control and temporary storage for the rocket before it gets trucked over to the Vertical Integration Facility. It can store several boosters but I don't think it has room for all 17, if all of those are even completed yet. My guess would be that they could be storing a few more in the old Delta IV facilities and then warehousing the rest at Decatur.

I did find out that ULA stores their spare SRBs WAY off site at a national guard training center called Camp Blanding, southwest of Jacksonville.

>This was really a bare-bones approach. The mission produced only five days on the Martian surface. Hopefully the scientific payload included some kind of surface shelter for the two crew, otherwise they would have to climb up and down the side of the lander and try to sleep in their suits in their cramped Gemini seats every night.
5 days? I thought short stay missions gave you a month minimum

It is damn near impossible to find interior pictures of this place, but I think they could probably store six cores without feeling too cramped, not that I think they ever have. Even with the flight rates that were planned for Atlas back in the 90s they would have just had a steady stream of hardware moving from Decatur to SLC-41 rather than a stockpile like the strategic launch reserves the Soviets set up with the Soyuz and Proton.

There is no dust up where the majority of braking occurs. Literally not a problem so long as you have guidance.

I don't get why they even need to modify the license. The FTS didn't activate on either part of the spacecraft. They should be ready to go NOW, not waiting on some stupid investigation for a month.

the investigation is gonna take less time but its more so about why it failed at landing and why tumble occured. FAA (or should i say AST) are allowing it go by shorter but that doesnt release spacex of their responsibility to thoroughly investigate why a mishap happened. should really be grateful, compare this to the year delay that new shepherd had after a failure (which is a much smaller and less complex rocket) and its pretty obvious whos getting the better wrap right now.

Do you think they will fix the RCS and stick the booster wet landing this time? How much shorter would the delay be if they do pull it off?
Anonymous at Wed, 8 May 2024 04:03:58 UTC No. 16165210
>>16165203
I think fixing the tumble issues with the RCS thrusters is likely, but Booster wet landing a little less. Theres a decent chance they do get it considering the massive hurdles theyve overcame with every flight before with things they got data on, but I dont know something just makes it seem a bit harder to me about the reentry wet landing stuff.
In regards to the shorter delay if they do pull it off, WAY shorter. That would basically be a perfect flight in what they laid out for the flight plan which means that the FAA has no need to interupt them unless something happens at ship reentry. Even then, thats only one issue compared to the barrage theyve had before on every flight, so it would still be reduced, but not down to a month like Elon says if they get it perfect (which is what I think would be about right).
So far my predictions on a flight to flight basis havent been wrong, hoping its the same here.

>I think fixing the tumble issues with the RCS thrusters is likely
I am less optimistic. The valves shouldn't have frozen over the first time they got to orbit, and I don't see what they did to fix that for the next flight
If they would just get the next booster and ship ready while they wait for the investigation to end, I could see the turnaround being only a few weeks

Fortunately seems like before that the next flights testing campaign is starting early. Just today S30 for Flight 5 attempted a static fire, and even earlier than the previous flight.

Example Layout for a Mars Mission
For a mission to Mars, which could last several months, here's how the decks might be specialized:
Top Deck:
Navigation and advanced communication systems to stay in contact with Earth and Martian bases.
Telescopic observation equipment for celestial study and Mars reconnaissance.
Upper Deck:
Labs equipped for geology and soil analysis.
Medical and quarantine facilities to monitor health after landing on Mars.
Mid Deck 1:
Sleeping quarters customized for long-duration spaceflight, with enhanced personal space.
Hydroponic gardens to supplement food supplies with fresh produce.
Mid Deck 2:
Enhanced fitness equipment to combat muscle atrophy and bone density loss.
Psychological support facilities, including virtual reality relaxation zones.
Lower Deck 1:
Larger storage capacity for Mars surface suits and scientific gear.
Advanced recycling systems to support extended periods without resupply.
Lower Deck 2:
Expanded engineering facilities to maintain and repair rovers and other surface exploration vehicles.
Additional backup systems for critical life support functions.
Bottom Deck:
Custom fittings for Mars rovers and exploration modules.
Airlocks and equipment for surface excursions and sample collection.
This layout emphasizes the need for adaptability, robust life support, and the ability to support a wide range of scientific and exploratory activities. As development continues, the specific design will evolve based on mission needs, technological advances, and the experiences from initial test flights and operations.
Would you like more details on specific technologies, systems, or another aspect of Starship’s interior design?
