NASA is retarded if they don't send them back in a Dragon capsule. Starliner is a shitty backup program, there is absolutely nothing about this "test" that would be improved by putting astronauts in a broken capsule. There is zero reason for them to be in it as it tries to make it through re-entry. It's broken, it doesn't work, and NASA again gains literally nothing by risking their lives to prove a point.

What's the surface area covered by the tiling on Starship? It also depends on what the ablative is actually made of. I've seen studies on silicon ablative give weights like 1.03g/cm3

let's say half the surface is covered with a layer 1cm thick of 1g/cm^3 ablative and starship is a cylinder 9m diameter and 50m tall that works out to 1589 m^2 covered for 15 tons of ablative material.

ablative material is usually really lightweight since you want as little heat conductivity as possible, and the best way to do that is make it mostly empty space.
Still, the sheer amount probably means the mass isn't insignificant.

>Rocket Lab USA, a global leader in launch services and space systems, today announced it has signed the largest Electron launch agreement in the Company’s history; a ten-launch deal with Japanese Earth observation company Synspective.
> Rocket Lab has been launching for Synspective since 2020 when the Company deployed the first satellite in Synspective’s synthetic aperture radar (SAR) constellation, which is designed to deliver imagery that can detect millimetre-level changes to the Earth’s surface from space. Since that first mission, Rocket Lab has been the sole launch provider for Synspective’s StriX constellation to date, successfully deploying four StriX satellites across four dedicated Electron launches. In addition to the 10 new dedicated launches signed today, another two launches for Synspective have already been booked and are scheduled for launch this year from Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand. The launches in the new deal will take place across 2025 – 2027.

It's nice to see Rocket Lab not being completely wiped out by an afterthought addition to someone else's business model. That said, ten Electron launches is "only" $75M at Rocket Lab's standard price, which is both a lot of money and not really all that much.

that'd require ramping up their launch cadence by about 25% from where it's been this year so far. seems extremely difficult to do, especially since they seem to already be hitting diminishing returns. 150 launches in 2025 is definitely doable with falcon but i think they're reaching the limits of how far it can be pushed.

There definitely will be, SpaceX absolutely has the ability to monopolize the space launch market and when that happens people will want options. Rocket Lab is the only player close enough to them to be that option. And to be clear Im rooting for both of them

Debatable, they got NASA money for Falcon 9 after four launches. There's very little money in launch so scaling up is extremely hard if you don't get external money to develop a larger rocket and all the VCs are also already balls deep in SpaceX or sexier pitches like Relativity. F9 cost "only" 400 million, but if you have to make that yourself it's not exactly easy.

>A number of studies have attempted to assess the medical risks for long-term space station habitation, but the results are inconclusive, as epidemiological data is lacking. It is, however, understood that longer periods in space increase the risk of serious problems. The closest estimates show an illness/injury rate of 1:3 per year, with 1% estimated to require emergency evacuation by means of a CRV. For an eight-person ISS crew, this results in an expected need for a CRV flight once every 4 to 12 years. These estimates have been partially corroborated by experiences on board the Soviet Union's Mir space station. In the 1980s, the Soviets had at least three incidents where cosmonauts had to be returned under urgent medical conditions

No they aren't. They aren't changing the profile of the ship until at least IFT-10. The change you see is the Environment Review at the Cape. That's an entirely different matter and unrelated to Boca. All they are doing to the current Ships is modifications that don't change the flight profile. For perspective, the ring detachment didn't trigger a review and the new changes aren't either. They will need to get a new loicense with Ship 2 because of the new flaps and the added engines, and slightly taller overall height. I suspect we'll see them apply for a modification once they have the first Ship 2 built but who knows how far off that is because they first need to get Raptor 3 into production numbers; something that nobody on this earth knows when is going to happen.

I think this could be viable in the near/middle future. Separate rich old people from their money in return for low G on their achy joints. Null G would probably not go over very well with geriatrics, but low G might not be bad. Better mobility and less consequential falls. Plus, they don't go out much anyways and probably wouldn't mind soft, bland foods (zee bugz).

>The Pathfinder aircraft was designed to take off with its turbofan engines, and climb to approximately 6,000 m where it would rendezvous with a tanker aircraft. The tanker would transfer 59 metric tons of liquid oxygen to the Pathfinder. After disconnecting from the tanker, the spaceplane ignited its rocket engine and climbed to an altitude of 110 km and a speed of Mach 15. Now on a suborbital trajectory outside the atmosphere, Pathfinder would open its payload bay doors, and release the payload with a liquid rocket upper stage. An expendable solid propellant upper stage could deliver a 2100 kg payload to a 300 km 30 degree orbit. Meanwhile Pathfinder would close its payload bay doors and re-enter the atmosphere. After slowing down to subsonic speeds, the turbofan engines would be restarted and the aircraft flown to a landing field. It was estimated that the price per launch could profitably be set as low as $7 million, 3 to 4 times lower than the price using the Taurus expendable launch vehicle
>As a piloted aircraft, Pathfinder could be tested incrementally. Unlike expendable vehicles, which must be flight tested all at once on the first attempt, the Pathfinder could work up to an orbital delivery flight incrementally, biting off small additional chunks of risk on succeeding flights. The aircraft would be fully tested before the rocket engine was ever ignited. Dry hook-ups with the tanker would be demonstrated before Lox was transferred. Tanking with liquid nitrogen would be done to qualify the mechanisms before Lox was loaded, and so on throughout the flight test program
> Pathfinder used conventional airbreathing engines for takeoff and landing. These engines allowed the aircraft to be operated normally for ferrying itself. The rocketplane could even be flown to a satellite manufacturer's facility for satellite pickup. Liquid oxygen was only loaded in the air, significantly reducing launch site hazards.

They’re trying to tag it on to MSR though—which obviously has huge budgetary problems as it is. Maybe they can make a deal with private space companies (cough spacex) to get laser comms around Mars for cheap

>Are analog electronics like this considered rad-proof?

Nope. If you are analyzing an analog signal from say, an accelerometer sensor, radiation can hit the wires between the sensor and the processor, giving a bit of energy to the wire and distorting the amplitude. There are ways to mitigate errors and spikes of energy through various means, but they are still susceptible.

At what point do you exclude surface area?
the ocean floor is high pressure enough in most places to require heavily reinforced habs with high material costs and the lack of sunlight makes solar power infeasible too.
Those are some pretty high barriers to self-sustaining habitation.

You do not exclude surface area because the only thing making something land is that it be natural and in fixed supply.
The ocean surface is natural and in fixed supply, the ocean floor is natural and of fixed supply. The surface of venus is natural and of fixed supply. A speck of dust in the asteroid belt is natural and of fixed supply.
All these things are land.

Anyways I see no reason to deny jupiter is land and see no absurdity in this. It's natural and in fixed supply, if we keep draining jupiter of it's atmosphere it'll eventually run out. It acts economically the same as any other land.

The best way would be for everyone to simultaneously commit suicide.
The second best way would be to create a second Ghenghis Khan, who measurably decreased CO2 in the atmosphere by 0.1 parts per million by creating large areas of abandoned farmland which was reclaimed by the environment.
But I don't really see how this is spaceflight related.

Back in the 90's one of my relatives was having their first kid, and so they asked a nurse friend of theirs if they should get cloth diapers or regular diapers because they had heard cloth diapers were better for the environment since you don't toss them out, you just wash them, and the nurse without missing a beat said, "If you really want to save the environment you'll get an abortion and then kill yourselves." That story has stuck with me my entire life.

For this application, Stirling cryocoolers are the highest-performance technology available, due to their ability to lift heat efficiently at very low temperatures. They are silent, vibration-free, can be scaled down to small sizes, and have very high reliability and low maintenance. As of 2009, cryocoolers were considered to be the only widely deployed commercially successful Stirling devices.

CNN is a leftist propaganda media. it was really hard to find what exactly was the issue.

The main issue the "journos" aka propagandists at the post see with the new guy is he called them activists instead of journalists. Which is accurate. This triggered the marxist commie meltdown at the company it looks like and they're trying to attack him as much as possible before he roots himself in the company and clamps down the lid on marxism a little bit. I doubt there would be any real change unless Bezos himself digs in like Musk did and fire the activists.

>As SpaceX continues to look for an opportunity within the overcast weather to launch SES's Astra 1P mission from Cape Canaveral tonight, they adjusted the liftoff time for the Starlink 9-1 mission. The new T-0 liftoff from Vandenberg Space Force Base is now 8:40 pm PDT (11:40 pm EDT, 0340 UTC).

Starliner has a 45-day hard limit. So unless they launch in the first week of July, this won't happen. As funny as it would be.

Crazy that /sfg/ has been the genesis for interplanetary racism. I will ride eternal, shiny and chrome as the person who coined "urf".

why would you think so? I'd think it would be a bog-standard marine invasion, just much larger than anything attempted in the past.

unless the initial invasion attempt fails and it drags out for years and both sides have to pour trillions into gaining escalation dominance in LEO
