Space Development Agencyās satellite program pushes launch timeline
>The U.S. militaryās ambitious program to create a constellation of satellites for global communications and missile tracking is poised to begin launching hardware into orbit later this year, the Space Development Agency said March 7.
>With launches projected to start in late summer, more than 150 satellites that make up the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture Tranche 1 program could be deployed by the end of 2027.
>āThe PWSA Tranche 1 launch campaign is now anticipated to begin in late summer 2025 and continue on a pace of approximately one launch per month until the entire Tranche 1 Transport and Tracking constellations are on orbit,ā an SDA spokesperson said in a statement.
>This new timeline represents a delay of nearly a year from the original September 2024 target, though the agency still aims to have the full constellation operational by early 2027. The updated projections come as the agency faces multiple challenges, including a recent leadership shakeup, supply chain issues and scrutiny from government watchdogs questioning the programās technical readiness.

Binary explosives are pretty well known, and have been used for a very long time. Liquid oxygen and a combustible fuel, in a stoichiometric ratio, creates a powerful dynamite capable of high order detonation.
Most of us are aware of ANFO, which is very simply ammonium nitrate in a porous granular form, and around 4% fuel oil. In this case, the oxidizer is solid, and the fuel is liquid. But you can do the exact same thing with cryogenic liquid oxygen absorbed into a porous flammable solid like charcoal.
LOX binary explosives have been used in mining applications, but its safety is questionable dealing with on-site mixing and rapid boil off of the cryogenic. A better choice of liquid oxidizer would be something like conc. nitric acid, HNO3 can persist at room temp.
A truckload of liquid oxygen harbors tremendous energy, and can easily be turned into a very powerful bomb with a simple pairing.

it's already done that on flights 5 and 6. Basically there's some fancy math you do to work out a reentry trajectory corridor that gets you roughly where you need to be. Then make adjustments along the way with the flaps (to change your angle of attack/roll/drag) to fine tune. The shuttle has much more lift so it has greater crossrange capability vs a starship - a ship has a 2, maybe 3 orbit window to land where it took off from before the closest approach is too far to reach and they have to wait a day or so

Steel vs carbon fiber. Going by materials alone, including size difference, f9 and super heavy are the same price. Factor in labor and machine time, and the f9 booster is actually more expensive than super heavy. Raptor actual vs aspirational price is a different story but in the ideal case the 33 engines and cheaper than the f9's 9. Ship is too out there right now for me to make any informed guesses, but reuse of the big ship might be cheaper than tossing the small one

Falcon 9 made it to orbit in the first flight. Starship V2 isn't even able to its supposed suborbital trajectory despite all the data SpaceX has gathered from V1. Hopefully it's just human errors with V2 and not that the general design don't really work with those amounts of propellent.

Technically there are a few NatSec missions that should be waiting in storage for final launch prep. GPS-III SV07 was waiting around for good long while before it changed lanes and launched on a Falcon. SV08-10 are probably completed as well and just waiting on final pre-flight fueling and USSF annoyance reaching a critical tipping point.

me too, but it took a lot of serious changes at all levels of the contractors and about 12 months of putting everything on hold. that was old space of course but somethings clearly got to happen along similar lines, maybe over a short time span or with some interim test flights etc. i dont know.

NASA chose to keep pushing the HLS decision further and further back and wanted a Moon landing right after the HLS selection, when they knew R&D would basically start AFTER the selection. On top of that, many in Congress were upset that NASA selected the HLS winner (SpaceX) during an interim administration between Presidencies, i.e. Congress wanted the selection to happen even later. What would the alternatives have been? ALPACA? Blue Origin's absolutely dogshit first proposal? No way in fucking Hell those companies were going to have a lander ready sooner than Starship. Anyone calling HLS the bottleneck is lying through their teeth, they just want a scapegoat.

Its practically brand new, it's only been up there for three years. I would much rather they slash or cancel the mars sample return mission, that blackhole of a project has been taking up way to much of the budget and manpower over the years.

I agree. My only thought process is that they think itās worth it because the problem they are having (presumably plumbing) is something they need solved that is also applicable to Block 3 and/or Raptor V3.

Yes, a 3rd failure of the V2 going into April would start to mean serious delays for the HLS refuelling demo, remember that IFT-8 should've been the first orbital flight, IFT-9 the first ship catch and IFT-10 the start of the in-orbit refuelling test campaign, instead IFT-9 will be another flight of the IFT-7 profile with none of the data on how the new heatshield is working out because they haven't made it past SECO with the new design for the past 2 flights.
A third failure at SECO would mean that the current design for the downcomer is fundamentally flawed requiring a redesign and SpaceX would still have to conduct the FAA mishap investigations as even with a more friendly admin, having 3 ships blow up is pushing it.
It'd be one thing if SpaceX had a booster and ship ready every 2 weeks but currently a monthly launch cadence is the best they're currently able to achieve and we are at least 2 months+ behind what NASA was aiming for.

It literally takes an army of engineers and astronomers to keep it running. They have to calibrate all the science modes regularly (17 of them). It does require maintenance in that the mirror segment alignment is monitored and adjusted, there is also momentum management and station keeping. They set up each new observation, several times per day. Downlink the data 3 times per day with the DSN, reduce it and archive it. They have to check the plans of astronomers, and support them through planning and analysis. Then they have to deal with failed observations and recover from hardware faults and safe modes. Some of the money goes directly to funding the astronomers in the US who use it to do the research. It also now has a mountain of reduction software for astronomers to reduce it's data products, which must be maintained, documented and updated. They have to organize calls for telescope proposals and the committees which select them. Do the scheduling to maximize output, an entire year of observations at once, it's extremely complicated with the sunshield, and micrometeorite avoidance zones, also special timing requirements and triggered observations. Also managing the datarate, as programs can generate more data between downlinks than the recorder can store. Also dealing with parallel observations....
It doesn't magically shit interesting scientific results for the news sites, you actually need astronomers for that. And there is no point spafing 10B building it, only to start penny pinching on operations so early on. All NASA missions are expensive to operate, Cassini cost something like 60-80 million a year, JWST is much more complicated.

The crater looks pretty well defined. It might have caught on the lip, and then crashed out of the hover. If that's the case then it was a bad call by the automated hazard avoidance. Deflecting a couple of meters away would have put it on some very clean looking terrain. Deflecting less than a meter could have put it right in the middle of the crater which would could have had great materiel for its ice-seeking experiments.

>"The special direction finder "Kalinka" allows at a distance of up to 15 km to detect an uncrewed boat, catch up and hit it with a machine gun. Small-scale production has been set up, the product is being tested in combat conditions," Bezrukov told TASS .
>He noted that earlier the search for such boats was carried out by visual method. The CBST proposed to improve their detection by introducing the Starlink terminal search system. Bezrukov explained that crewless boats and Baba Yaga heavy drones operate using this American system.

Hello /sfg/, /p/ would normally get this question but they are slow as fuck. Are there any telescope autists here? I have recently acquired the notoriously bad Celestron powerseeker 127EQ and have only realized that it is dogshit after purchasing, as is tradition. I can definitely just go buy a better damn telescope but the engineer in me really wants to design a way to take the shitty Bird-Jones design and just turn it into a traditional Newtonian without the spherical aberration corrector.
Is it really as simple as just scavenging the mirrors and placing them at their correct focal length of 1000mm? For reference, the primary is a spherical 127mm f/7.87, so it feels like it really should just be as simple as moving the secondary to the correct focal length so I don't have to use the shitty corrector design. Wikipedia says that spherical mirrors are okayish at higher focal ratios so maybe I can get away with it.

a point brought up here >>16615315 at the end was that perhaps it is not even possible to test the upgrades on the ground or doing so would require massive changes in the ground testing systems (mainly for running a starship close to empty oxygen tank with all engines on the test stand, but perhaps there are other effects as well like being bolted to the ground affecting vibrations, being close to vacuum at the end of the burn in space vs being at atmospheric pressure at the test stand)
how long would it take to build a vacuum test chamber for starship that is somehow also suspended in a way so that it is basically free floating to recreate the situation? a year?
it would also have to be robust to Starship RUDs
I would imagine building and testing a system like that would not be easy
just launching and testing in flight is pretty easy and quick for SpaceX at this point relatively speaking, they have a factory for building Starships now which is cranking them out

It's not a bad plan. Getting eaten by a prime will keep Firefly alive (as a division of a larger owner) and Northrop has a long history of growing by eating well-placed smaller players. NG's had issues, but out of the three main aerospace primes it seems like it's the one with the least drama. Antares was never a commercial success but you could fix a lot of what led to that by replacing the Russian engines and Ukrainian structures with in-house products. Once that's done you've got a vehicle that can compete for NSSL missions in Lane 1 while having NASA as an anchor customer through Cygnus and COTS. MLV will be late getting into reusability, but it's not as badly placed as it might look. New Glenn is too big for a lot of non-constellation payloads, Neutron's choice of using carbon fiber for a reusable function is still unproven, and Terran R's economics could (and probably will) be fucked by all of its subcontractors.

When Butch and Suni went up and starliner shit the bed it meant there were no seats available to return to earth. Elon wanted to send an empty dragon to bring them back, but instead two astronauts were kicked off the next regularly scheduled dragon and they took over their responsibilities on the ISS. There is no need to 'rescue' them now as there are two seats available on the dragon currently docked.

Environmentalism sucks. Nature sucks, nature doesn't give a fuck about the suffering of sentient beings. I am not saying we should give a fuck about wild animal suffering, but certainty we shouldn't care about maintaining "nature" as it is, we should care about humans and form the world the way we want. And if we should have any consideration for ecosystems beside human needs, it should be to reduce the suffering of wild animals and not maintaining this cruel system as it is.

Most of the suffering on earth isn't caused by humans but by nature. There is at least a chance that human minimize their caused suffering to nearly 0%, while nature will never decrease its suffering on their own unless it stops their sentient beings to exist. There is a strong moral case that we humans should decrease the suffering of wild animals, if we can actually do it and in a sustaining way.

I think the hard part about that is getting all the humans off. No way 100% of every single human would agree to leave which means we would have to force them off. Truthfully I would be fine if earth became a 24/7 observed ecosystem without direct human involvement. We would also need a border around it though since some jackasses would try to land on earth and either fuck around with the wildlife and be destructive or attempt to repopulate earth. Either way, if that would become a reality it would be because an extremely powerful government forced us off Earth as a means for preservation.
Logistically speaking, if we disregard ethics it would be much more sound to design a super virus to wipe out the majority of the humans on earth after the people who can make it to space already do. Then once most of the population is devastated manually clean up those who remain.

Flight, as conventionally understood in engineering and physics, denotes sustained motion through a fluid mediumātypically airāwhere lift is generated via pressure differentials across a surface, as governed by the Navier-Stokes equations for fluid dynamics. Lift, in this context, arises from the interaction of a vehicle with a medium possessing density and viscosity, enabling forces perpendicular to the direction of motion. In terrestrial aviation, this is quantified by the lift equation: L = (1/2) Ļ v2 S C_L, where Ļ is air density, v is velocity, S is surface area, and C_L is the lift coefficient. Without a medium (Ļ approaching zero in a vacuum), this mechanism collapses, rendering "flight" an inapplicable descriptor.

Space, by definition, lacks such a medium. The interstellar and interplanetary vacuum exhibits particle densities on the order of 1 to 105 particles per cubic centimeterānegligible compared to Earthās atmospheric density of approximately 2.7 Ć 1019 molecules per cubic centimeter at sea level. This absence precludes the generation of aerodynamic lift, as thereās insufficient mass to facilitate momentum exchange across a lifting surface. Consequently, what we colloquially term "spaceflight" is a misnomer; spacecraft do not "fly" in the technical sense but rather follow ballistic trajectories or inertial paths dictated by gravitational potentials and imparted momentum. The propulsion systemsāchemical rockets, ion thrusters, or otherwiseāgenerate thrust via the expulsion of reaction mass, as per the Tsiolkovsky equation (Īv = v_e ln(m_0 / m_f)), but this is a linear acceleration mechanism, not a lift-based one.

>>16616177
Consider the operational regimes of vehicles labeled as "flight-capable." Aircraft, gliders, and even birds rely on a medium to produce lift, enabling sustained traversal without continuous propulsion. Spacecraft, by contrast, require constant or periodic thrust to alter trajectories in the absence of atmospheric support, and their motion in orbit is a free-fall state balanced by centripetal force, not lift. The semantic implication of "flight" thus carries an expectation of medium-dependent sustentation, which space inherently violates. Historical nomenclature reinforces this: early space endeavors were dubbed "space travel" or "space missions" in technical literature before "spaceflight" gained colloquial traction, suggesting a linguistic drift from precision.

One might counter that "flight" could broadly encompass any controlled motion through space, medium or not. However, this dilutes the termās specificity, conflating it with mere displacement. Engineering taxonomies distinguish "flight" from "propulsion" or "trajectory" for a reasonālift is the hallmark of the former. Without it, as in the vacuum of space, the process is fundamentally distinct, akin to calling a submarineās underwater transit "swimflight." Thus, spaceflight is impossible without a lift-generating medium: the absence of such a medium negates the foundational mechanics implied by the term itself.

In conclusion, while spacecraft undeniably traverse space, labeling this "flight" stretches the word beyond its rigorous aerodynamic roots. No lift, no flight.

>Mark Kellyās wealth comes from various sources, reflecting his multifaceted career. His primary earnings stemmed from his service as a US Navy captain and his tenure as a NASA astronaut.
>Kellyās space missions not only brought him national recognition but also lucrative speaking engagements and book deals. He co-authored several books with his wife, Gabrielle Giffords, including a memoir that detailed their lives and her recovery after the shooting incident.
>In addition to his government salary and book royalties, Kelly has made significant income through investments. His active stock trading, which includes investments in technology, healthcare, and aerospace companies, has contributed notably to his net worth. Kellyās involvement in these sectors reflects his professional background and interest in innovation and technological advancement.

You are shocked and think he's doing nothing because you don't understand what's happening.
He's restructuring the FAA to accommodate higher commercial launch throughput and expedited mishap investigations. Expect the Office of Commercial Space Transportation to get massively expanded and/or established as its own agency.
Isaacman was obviously Elon's pick, and is going to take NASA down to barebones then rebuild programs according to the actual needs of the US space endeavor. NASA doesn't need to be involved in launch procurement or developing rockets anymoreāprivate industry is clearly doing a better job by far. They should be focused on research, with a priority on research that can contribute to martian and lunar habitation. Their science programs will be fine, but stuff will look messy and grim for a while because a lot needs to get tossed out the window.

It's all part of the same plan. Even the Boring Company is critical. Nothing is actually a distraction.
Tesla is a whole energy, transport, and labor ecosystem that can be shipped to the colonies with little to no modification. TBC is iterating toward an excavation machine that can be packed onto a rocket and start digging habitats and pressurized roadways. Twitter and the government happened because he was originally assuming the establishment would let him settle Mars in relative peace but the last administration showed him that was incorrect. Neuralink is his contingency to hopefully keep humans relevant if AGI shows up.

If he touches NASA science a whole generation of talent leaves the field never to return in both engineering and science.

If this is some hilariously misguided attempt to scare up some local talent by firing them from the government oh man is he going to find out just how bad things can get
50% off the top is the headline figure and would obviously include any future robotic mission as they are big ticket not-personnel expenditures. If they ax the next space telescope there will be an enormous hole in continuous observation when Hubble dies and if they ax future missions like Dragonfly, MSR and Veritas (I can dream) there will be little left but a bunch of people watching monitors and taking zero new proposals until 2029

Not the anon you a re replying to, but I was the biggest SpaceX shill on planet earth since learning about the grasshopper campaign well before they actually sucessfully landed a falcon core. I saw all the Falconlanding attempt streams live and they were peak SpaceX.
I stil beleive, which is exactly why I have to be critical of mistakes rather than being a blind fool.
the matter of fact is that Starship development is an utter and complete shitshow. Much worse than even you or I are aware of.
Why do you think they never put mass simulators on bloc 1 starship? Its because it had practically zero mass to orbit.
Why do you think they barely half-filled the payload bay of V2 with starlink mas simulators? It's because it has a tiny fraction of the payload to orbit as advertised.
All of the scandalous design errors which started as rumors turned out to be true. We are on the 8th flight now and it exploded. Fine if Elon was working his ass off to get this fixed, but he's doing nothing. His ass needs to be down at starbase for the next 6 months fixing this, but instead hes playing government as if he doesnt care at all. I really feel like hes lost his way and will fall from grace. Very sad. Bring me 2004 Elon and we will be on the moon and mars.

Kombucha may provide a variety of health benefits, from aiding in digestion to ridding your body of toxins and boosting energy levels. Itās also said to help your immune system, help you lose weight, ward off high blood pressure and heart disease, and prevent cancer.

I didn't say it was easy, it just doesn't require new physics. FTL travel is almost certainly impossible, but we're nowhere close to the limits of STL travel. Make better engines first.

I have used principia but it always fucks the game up when i try to do a long career. There is always a point where it will inevitably crash no matter wht I do and the save is bricked.
I dont play anymore but used to play with stock parts and real scale kerbol system for the challenge. You have ultra tight dv buget for anything wiht the terrible performance of stock parts. It was made harder because I would never revert save so had to build a reasonable safety dv margin for manned landers. Interestingly the LEM had basically identical performance to the real life LEM. I guess because irl LEM was pressure fed. The rocket to carry it though had to be much bigger. Getting to orbit with stock parts on a real scale planet is most efficiently done with 3 stages which all have to be burnt til empty
