What's the point of continuing Soyuz-5 development when Angara A3 should be within easy reach? I understand that Soyuz-5 is in many ways the ideal expendable rocket, but now expendables are an obsolete paradigm, and Soyuz-5 is a total dead end that is fully incompatible with reuse. Any expendable rocket should only be a very interim solution, so it doesn't make sense to invest much into development of a new expendable.

I could understand if the Soyuz-5 was far along in development, but they haven't even built a pad for it. Or do they intend to use the old Zenit-2 pad at Baikonur? I thought Russia wanted to phase out dependence on pads in Kazakhstan. It's not like RKTs Progress lacks work; they build the Soyuz-2 which is the staple of Russian spaceflight, and should continue to be so even after the Soyuz and Progress spacecraft are phased out, until it is eventually maybe replaced by a reusable rocket like Soyuz-7.

So what is the thinking within Roscosmos?

So, Elon announced today he's sending one of his robots on Starship 'to Mars" in 2026. Discuss.

No he isn't. For the most forgiving sense of "to" -- a flyby with all the delta coming from a burn from Earth orbit -- he needs at least a v2 Starship that doesn't blow up on launch, a tanker that doesn't blow up on launch, and 1+ tanker flights. He launches with a partial tank. Because it's a flyby and all the impulse is upfront, he doesn't need inflight cryo.

Not gonna happen.

Soyuz-5 is built by RKT Progress and Angara is built by Khrunichev. It's a Russian-style Boeing vs. Lockheed scuffle. It's also pointless because Russia has next to no market for ULA's High Energy Trajectories, and that's the only thing this vehicle would be good for since it can't match the Angara A5's raw lift to LEO. Soyuz-5 is supposed to be flying from the old Zenit pad at Site 45/1, but RKK Energia has also been trying for years to get Kazakhstan to pay for a lot of S45's restoration, and that hasn't gone anywhere.

Roscosmos really isn't thinking about this. It's one corporation squabbling with another corporation over a market that doesn't really matter using a launch site that no one in Moscow wants to pay to support. It's a shame because the RD-171MV is a really nice engine.

US-born, 20/20 eyesight, no physical or mental disabilities of any kind (not even a gait problem), no criminal records, at least 2 PhDs and 3 master's degrees, fluent in at least 3 languages, able to withstand their training, so if you struggle with nausea you are OUT, has military history, flight experience, etc etc etc etc. If you meet these one gorillion requirements, then you still don't have even a 1% chance of going into space because there are lots of candidates and only 6-10 of them get to fly every year.

This video discusses the increasing likelihood of war in space, focusing on the development of space-based missile defense systems. It examines the threat of hypersonic weapons and the potential deployment of a "golden dome" system to counter them. The video also touches upon the challenges, costs, and potential consequences of such developments, including a new space race and the creation of space debris.

Based on the summary, this video appears to offer a more analytical and informative perspective on space warfare, rather than just focusing on action or perhaps unrealistic scenarios, which might be what you are looking for. You can watch the video at this link.

Tiles are still breaking from unavoidable thermal expansion and contraction, falling off left right and centre and blowing through at hot spots. Not to mention that it's not a rapidly reusable solution since those tiles get massively hot and will take a day or more to cool down enough to even think about putting cryo liquid in the tanks. The shittle had to use a cooling blanket on the heatshield after it landed because the heat inside the tiles would damage the vehicle if left too long. Not a problem for Starship but it illustrates the problem.

Putting 10,000 ceramic dinner plates on your space vehicle that goes from cryo temp to re entry plasma is a dogshit idea. The sooner they adopt active cooling the better.

Those ceramic tiles radiate heat very quickly. The shuttle had trouble with that radiated heat because it was made out of aluminum, which can be melted by giving it a stern look.

I don't disagree but it's not like heat shield reuseability is going to be the bottleneck of their plan for the next few years. Those tiles are proven technology that will bring the ship back reliably and let them focus on other more pressing matters.

And if you actually read my post the point is rapid reusability is not strictly required for anything they are currently planning to do before 2030. Yes they will need to launch several Starships within a relatively short window, but that can be achieved by building a dozen of them instead of reusing say three tankers within 24 hours.

They designed Altair to be way too big. It had a launch mass of 46 tons and needed to ride in a 10m payload shroud. If it wasn't for the fact it was designed back in 2005 I'd say they made it that way to intentionally kill any possibility of a distributed or commercial mission architecture.

You get a heat gradient along the pin and a small amount of energy transferred into the wall.
Why are you pretending the tiles are going to dump 100% of their energy into the ship and then it's going to take days to cool off. It's idiotic.

Thermal mass, thermal conductivity, thermal irradiation, and other dissipation characteristics all matter a great deal, here. The tiles aren't dissipating all, or even a significant amount, of their thermal load into those pins and the vehicle behind them. Instead, they radiate it in the form of infrared radiation off the black outer surface, because it's physically easier for the tile to drop its energy state that way.

Why are we talking about thermal shock now? That has fucking nothing to do with heat transfer to the ship.

The recently founded subsidiary of CASC "CASC Commercial Rocket Co" has static fired a second stage of their RLV. They say it has common bulkheads, multiple restart capabilities and helium pressurization.

The pictures tell us that it's powered by the open cycle kerolox engine YF-102V (which was recently qualified) and is about 3.8m wide, comparable to the Long March 12. These characteristics makes it fit with a "4m class Open cycle Kerolox RLV" that they announced last November.

Some people are linking this to the "Long March 12B" whose model was displayed at the Zhuhai air show in november. Nothing is confirmed and it is not exactly clear where this stage stands between the various RLV projects of CASC.

Planets can show the same side to their host star at all times, just as the moon always shows the same side to the Earth. This is called Tidal Locking, and is pretty common. In terms of having at or near zero rotational angular momentum? Maybe they could exist through some complex stellar dynamics, but it's rather unlikely.

But nope, apparently even X-37 would have crews at risk. And that’s boeing, who have experienced with this thing.

OTV-7 was the first to put the X-37 into a highly elliptical orbit; all previous missions were in LEO. Reentry from such an orbit would obviously stress the TPS more than normal.

Also, didn't the Air Force / Space Force recently announce that they wouldn't pursue a contract for X-37 successors, or something like that? Or did I just imagine that.

There's no reason why Starship couldnt just use ablative tiles. Dragon's heat shield is technically designed to take multiple flights with one heat shield, NASA just errs on the side of caution and requests new shields every human flight.
No reason Starships couldnt use ablative panels, take like 5, 6, 7 flights before being re-paneled with regular maintenance
>muh rapid reusability
It would still be mostly rapidly reusable. And don't act like starship isnt going to have a ~5 year learning curve where theyre still doing inspections on these things after return from orbit and learning what systems need to be hardened and upgraded

The sad thing is, liberals cannot discern any meaningful difference between this and going to space for real, so every time Jeff launches a few more of his rich friends on his carnival ride you have a bunch of liberals getting pissy about "muh billionaires hogging up space" or something.

Personally I think Elon should launch Shatner into space for real, while there's still time for him.

Extensive physical training is not a real job requirement for astronauts and hasn't even been done in earnest since Apollo. NASA is comfortable launching rando school teachers and geriatric senators into space. A standard physical examination before launch is all that's required.

Butch Wilmore is 62 years old, and that doesn't even make him close to being the oldest person NASA has put into space. Peak physique simply is not a requirement for long duration space flight.

Indeed. And that also is the reason for the present astronaut requirements. The number of people who want to go to space greatly exceeds the number of people NASA can put into space, so the requirements are set up to "fairly" winnow down the list. Having a history of flying fighter jets and having a PhD in astrophysics don't actually have anything to do with your ability to ride on a Falcon 9 rocket, but few people have such experiences which makes these requirements useful for pruning the list of applicants. Our liberal friend probably understands this too, but is pretending not to because he's a little bit upset about political stuff.

Anonymous No. 16621394

When the water flash boils, it rapidly expands, and if there's stuff in the water, it'll be forcefully ejected. The vehicle will be protected by the exhaust plume pushing everything out of the way, but the flame trench will be scoured like the concrete around the base of tower 1 is. The erosion was strong enough for them to put steel plates over the base of the first tower and to build the second one's outer covers out of steel; they'll be facing a similar environment in Tower 2's flame trench, if not worse.

That effort, more significantly, included $350 million in state funding.
>However, he said he is looking at ways other than grants that the commission and the state government can support the Texas space industry. That could include direct investments in space companies or loans, something that would require changes to the law creating the commission to give it that authority.

A glaring mistake was revealed and God gave a chance to make amends, for free.
Like with S34 before, SpaceX chooses to repeat the same mistake. Even after God himself struck down the first mistake, here they go again.
Sad! If only we had a Chief Engineer on site, someone who is engaged with the process, someone with the authority to turn on a dime, be nimble with quick, smart decisions. We don't, so we get a slow, stupid, headless, lumbering bureaucracy, wasteful and inefficient.

Theoretically, sure. The only real limit on how big you can build a pressure-fed design is how much you can pressurize the tanks before launch without them bursting. 100 tf is only 980 kN, so it's not like you're trying to build the 350 MN pressure-fed monster that Sea Dragon was going to use on its first stage. The real question is if you can do it economically. You're going to have a lot lower specific impulse than a Merlin and you're going to be pushing a much heavier stage structure.

doing it is a forcing function for technology development to make humans spacefaring, which will have implications on earth, the most obvious lowering the cost of getting stuff to orbit, but trying to develop habitats on mars will probably touch almost every area of science/engineering and thus induce a reason to advance them, which can then be used back on earth as well (or to colonize other planetary bodies)
mars happens to the nearest realistic candidate that could support a self-sustaining civilization

why not the moon? its too close so it will never need to be self-sustaining and also it doesn't really appreciable amounts of volatiles like water, CO2

Hand wavey.

Not Venus. Our Moon and other moons don't have the resources so that isn't a good excuse. And don't say extra-solar systems, that is far too out of reach

It's a chicken-and-egg question. Do you wait to lower $/kg and once it gets better you then go to Mars; or go to Mars and get a lower $/kg along the way?
Starship claims to be a Mars rocket with cheap LEO Starlink launches as a byproduct, but in reality its the other way around. Musk is building a cheap Starlink launcher and he wants to configure it for Mars later

Not necessarily, I would agree. For example: The Starship stack isn't a lunar lander despite doing HLS before manned mars landing.
But I still hold my ground that it's an LEO optimized Starlink launcher.
Not to sound like Tory, obv depots is an integral part of the design and it can and will go to Mars. But, at least as it CURRENTLY EXISTS, and will continue to be for the next say five years, Starship is:
>Super Heavy, reusable
>LEO Starlink pez despenser
>With expendable-style HLS upper stage as another focus

Anonymous No. 16621841

>>16621834
A big part of the problem with Tory's marketing was pretending that LEO optimized first stages mean no payload beyond LEO.

Just adding a kick stage to Starship lets it clown Vulcan in single launches.

Him lying about Falcon's GEO payload was just icing on the cake.

>They showed us nebulae, big pink and blue clouds draped in braids of purple stars, always resolving themselves at the pace of cosmic infinity into genital forms, cocks and cunts light years wide. They superimposed puddle-thin quotes over these pictures, so that the galaxies could speak to you in the depths of your loneliness, whispering from across a trackless infinity that you’re so much better than everyone else, because you fucking love science. The words are lies, the colors are lies, the nebulae are lies. These images are collated and pigmented by computers; they’re not a scene you could ever see out the porthole of your spaceship. Space isn’t even ugly; it isn’t anything. It’s a dead black void scattered with a few grey rocks, and they crash into each other according to a precise mathematical senselessness until all that’s left is dust.

>Schopenhauer said that we live in the worst of all possible worlds. As ever, he thought he was being far more pessimistic than he actually was. If things were any worse than they are, he wrote, the universe would be impossible; it would collapse into a state of total emptiness and decay. In his cheery sun-soaked self-delusion he didn’t seem to consider that the world is not possible and never was, that this fall into nothing has already happened.
