SpaceX Super Heavy landing on a platform at sea
My take on the SpaceX Super Heavy Booster landing catch mechanism and the converted oil rig for launching. Hereby some Explanation.
I changed the design of the grid fins to be more stronger with a central axis and modular grid panels for easier maintenance and possible lighter materials. This design avoids the grid panels having any contact with the ring during landing.
I added fins to the bottom of the booster that can fold. I do not think they are necessary, but some commenters on my previous video insisted they are.
The red lights are for the camera's and sensors to pinpoint the booster trajectory more precise.
The rings are electric and have redundant motors.
I know Elon Musk has a plan to fly the Starships to the platform, but I think it is an unnecessary risk and payload integration is easier on land. The reason the full stack launches from the platform is because of noise and shockwaves. The Starship landings are relatively not so noisy when landing and can be done in Florida or Texas. There they can be checked and stocked and send to the rig.
Fueling has to be done from a separate tanker ship that can be connected with a long umbilical to a buoy. Not sure about that yet. Maybe I will make a launch video with the whole process. Let me know in the comments if you like to see that.

SpaceX Super Heavy Landing Catch Concept

I added the improved more detailed version of this video here: ua-cam.com/video/etm5BgSsZbE/v-deo.html Here is my idea of a way of landing the SpaceX Superheavy booster without legs. The second part is a concept for the iris system that rotates 2 rings in a way that a booster landing can have a more wider landing area and a larger margin of error. In a future video I will be updating the video ...
I love engineers. For the first time, non-professional engineers are creating solution proposals for real problems.
Ngl super heavy with foldable fin at the bottom seem interesting
I come back to this concept time by time, when I think about mechazilla 2.0. I wouldn't be surprised if it will be look like this! This is a well thought concept. Better than the real one. Much safer and stronger for the tower because of the 3 thinner tower. In the case of the booster it will be not doing any damage on the body. But I am not sure about the ship, because the ship have no fins, to sit on this thing. (YET) The aero parts is aero parts that is not for landing purpose. The starship has to be a great fin like strong landing parts If they will be landing always like this. That is not a big deal! This 3 tower version looks easier to produce than that single massive ones.
can stand the best
Sick!!
Beautiful! THIS. Love the chimes and music and vision. Yes! Your genius is appreciated! 🎈📧📧📧🌙🌈
What is software to help to design a beautiful animation and creative idea of SpaceX?
Ping.
Space X is off the charts man.
Too impractical
Genius!!!
Dreams dreams and only dreams
the only problem is that booster would need to to be extremely vertical to get into that hole
hope they make the real one look like that. so fantastic////////
Unbelievably awesome work. I think perhaps there will be a landing area for starship second stages to fly themselves out there and land.
Buena animación. Pero las llamarada de los motores son muy cortas. Por favor que sean mas larga.
Can't wait to see it in real life, not in CG
Superb video. It looks simple, but I'm sure there's lots of work underpinning these designs.
OUTSTANDING! 👍
Nope
In reality, the BN could dramatically land off postion, causing extreme damage to the whole landing station., there is no way for the loop to maneuver that far, the whole infistructure would need to maneuver
Video is really well made! Keep up the amazing work. However, the design has to much complexity.
That was the best animation ever💕💕
Obviously bullshit.
Let's see you do it better.
Just awesome
Как красиво, технично, изящно … Восхищаюсь Илон Маском . Ни в какое сравнение с колхозником ,коррупционером , вором , техническим и научным ничтожеством журналистом Рогозиным …
Если она неровно сядет, то и в цапы лапы снизу не войдёт, только если они не широкие(т.е. для такой ситуации предусмотренны).
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic ideas, great video; it looks like the mating may require guides, as I would anticipate sway do to forward inertia as the cylinders align. Your not a first language speaker, I take it. Zip me an email if you’d like it cleaned up-at carlatteniese2@gmail.com. You’re quite fluent and a fellow spaceflight aficionado, so I’d give you a reasonable rate. Keep up the great work.
Why does this man not work for Elon?
Прикольные мультики...
AWESOME!!! 👏🏼😄
Instead of using rockets why not use rockcoons filled with hydrogen. Pull the hydrogen into spacecraft to use as fuel and to power the spacecraft. REPLY
The possible stem promisingly joke because chicken habitually match abaft a cultured badger. descriptive, elite text
Where brute force meets elegant and beautiful. I can see engineering is beginning to figure out how to play nicer with nature. I hope you see your visions become manifest !
it costs more the sauce than the meat
Damn, that was BEAUTIFUL! You may not have the details absolutely correct, but it was definitely awe-inspiring. I watched Neil Armstrong step onto the moon, and at this rate I may yet see a human step onto the surface of mars - woo-hoo!

Several interesting and innovative concepts nicely illustrated here.
Very nice solution
What simulator do you use? Are you a professional?
This is way to complex for a SpaceX Design. But good work!
Crunch a few more numbers, you got this !!!
Space X, where all of Americans' hopes and dreams for a home and a family go to die, for a mad-mans future of robotic killer cars and tourism to a cold, dead rock in space, with no oxygen or water, or any means whatsoever to return to Earth The launch ship in this video is strangely free of the pitch and roll that all ships experience. This must be a fantasy CGI. Where are the fox-eared anime girls and boys with strange super-powers? We gotta have more super-powers! Where is Pikachu!
This would make a lot more sense once they flesh out the initial problems with the vehicle. It appears the OLIT and launch equipment they are using is trying to get the idea of fully reusability to barely work. It’s possible that they may make later iterations of the OLS ground equipment with designs like this in mind, to ensure that slight inaccuracies the booster may have are tolerable. For now, they just have to make sure they *can* land the booster and starship. You outdid yourself with this.
Engineering perfection!👌
Fake
W.w. there are many things about spaceX getting dust in the eye, and this one is one of them...
Not totally sure its a good a idea for a take off from a ship. Ok maybe the rocket makes it but the ship ......not likely
The amount of work that went into this and the degree of execution is phenomenal. So glad YT queued this up for me. Subscribed. Your work is incredible and the concepts put forth are simply great. THANK YOU FOR SHARING!
