And make it all so fascinating! I rewound and listened to some sections a number of times, so for me it was even longer than 15 minutes. Totally worth it.
Yeah. I thought it was just a solid piece of material. If we underestimated the fairings imagine how much more complexity there is in the rest of the rocket.
I have been working for a satellite manufacturer for 5 years now and i still get my mind blown on occasion by how much thought and analysis goes into every little part of every mission. Truly incredible.
This is why the fairings cost around 3 million to manufacture. And that is what makes it worth it to recover them using boats. Even if they miss the catch, fishing it out of the water quickly and refurbishing it is still cheaper then making a new one.
@@ixglocTV You don't really need to design a fairing to be reusable, you just need to stick a parachute on it so that it doesn't break when it lands, and then have boats that either catch it or fish it out of the water quickly.
As a bit of a tinkerer, i bought some cameras for raspberry pi mini computers... honestly, the camera, lens and cables weigh about 20 grams, its crazy.
Footage of launch, footage from onboard of the launch, footage now from inside fairings, mounted to the fairing... I want a live video feed from Scott's desk when he does commentary on the next launch.
I love how this channel changed from you drinking random beers and building rockets to coverage of the new space race. You are equally entertaining in both ;)

Every-time I see a landing I’m amazed, every-time I see Starlink sats deploy I’m amazed 60 launched at a time, flat satellites. All this is just bonkers engineering. Utterly awesome.
SpaceX: lands an orbital class rocket on a drone ship far of the coast. (Something no other company can do yet) Scott Manly: not quite in the center tho
Kind of a measure of how far the tech has come, when we start thinking it's routine. WW One pilot watching 747-8 landing: "Wow, that thing weighs more than all the aircraft in the U.S. Army in 1915, combined, and you put it almost on the centerline." 2021 pilot: "Meh. That sort of thing happens 150,000 times a day." SpaceX: dreams of future.
I still dont get how these gopros work so well in space and with the whole re-entry I mean, yes - the velocity wile reentering is much slower then orbital velocity. But also..space...its freaking cold!
When exposed to sunlight, it gets hot on that side, but the opposite side is chilling. Tumbling will average that out and so does conduction. Keep in mind that this is LEO, and Earth makes up nearly half your "sky". Earth is an average, moderate thermal temperature. The few molecules in this vacuum are not contributing much to satellite temperature either way.
4:34 The only heat loss will be radiative; putting some aluminized Mylar or foil will prevent rapid cooling. In any case, a small package like this, e.g. a cube sat, in general will be pretty warm inside, the electronics using a few watts of power. The BRITE nanosats tended to be warmer than I would have liked, often 30+ C. Of course, keeping a surface shielded from the Sun and the Earth all the time makes for a great heat sink, and with appropriate copper strips or bars to it, detectors can be kept cool passively, e.g. -50 C. Astronomical satellites such as MOST do that. In low earth orbit, you can keep a satellite going for 15 years or more without any fuel, just power from solar cells, and cool cameras passively; the Earth's magnetic field is used to dump excess angular momentum from reaction wheels.
So, let me get this straight: When we watch a starlink launch, we aren’t watching a single spaceship going to space, but instead watching 64 DIFFERENT SPACECRAFT all strapped together into a single launch vehicle? That is fascinating!
It’s absolutely mind boggling how SpaceX has accomplished this in ~15 years. 64 individual craft all working in perfect harmony is certainly something special!
John DoDo Doe I was just pointing out that SpaceX has done 64 sats + first stage, second stage, and fairing. Or we could look at India with 104 sats in one launch, but 64 spacecraft being controlled by one company is probably a record
I'm sorry but that shot of the exhaust plume blasting the fairing followed by the shot of the fairing deflecting the plume is one of the coolest things I have ever seen in my life!
@@wolfkremen such bullshit, what was that craft that passes the screen oh so slowly? It wasn't a Ford Escort, watch it again if you didn't see it. There's clearly some craft that passes up the Space X in that video. Did you see it?....

This is the most amazing rocket footage i think ive seen. Ive always wanted to see views of the payload in flight like this not to mention a thousand other beautiful views in this video. Thanks Scott for putting this all together. Im currently having the worst anxiety attacks over my health and it was nice to become distracted for a few minutes.
Just wanted to say thank you Scott. That video was so short and I knew there was so much to see that my brain couldn't process it all, thanks to you, I now have. 👍😃
Is there some footage of the security arm (octopus arm?) that grabs and holds the booster after it lands on the recovery barge? Also, is the recovery barge autonimous (no pilot on board) or remote controlled for the landing? for coming back into harbor? Just curious.
'Security arm' called octograbber, just google it, there's plenty of pictures. And yes, no people on the droneship. It can keep itself in place autonomously at the time of landing, but is not fully autonomous and is pulled to and from LZ by tug boats Good questions👍
The part where the fairing is re-entering the atmosphere, and we get a view looking into the plasma stream, is by far my favorite part. Science is amazing, and that was gorgeous.
"They will bump into each other" Wow yesterday i was wondering exactly that. How all the forces would act on them, would they bump into each other like a line of dominos, or would a little back and forth happen when theyre still very close, with one satellite hit its neighbours multiple times. Guess i was right. I was also assuming that they designed them to to crash, and just slowly spread apart. But i really spent, probably well too long, time thinking about how they would move
Those rods re-enter in just a month because they (and the StarLink sats) are released in a relatively low orbit. See www.nasaspaceflight.com/2020/04/falcon-9-us-leader-starlink/#:~:text=The%20elliptical%20deployment%20orbit%20used,time%20to%20around%20one%20month. Also, I'd imagine it would be hard for the second stage to perform its reentry burn with a couple of huge hunks of metal flapping around... that could REALLY create some space debris. :-)
Amazing that the plume from the rocket didn't trigger the mortar for the parachute. Seriously impressively stuff and thanks for the other fairing videos. I hadn't seen them before.
I bet it's a cold gas piston system just like the fairing deploy pushers are. Just because it's called a parachute mortar doesn't mean it has to use pyrotechnics to work. Would make sense, easier to test a pneumatic mortar. Pneumatic also makes sense because the drogue chute is likely pretty light (all it has to do is deploy the main chute), and it doesn't need to get pushed out that far into the air-stream from where it is located. Both of those factors mean you don't need much energy to do the job, you just need it all at once. Pneumatic systems are perfect for providing a low energy high force short range push.
I have, after careful consideration,determined that bla bla. Your videos are the best. Thanks for learning about and teaching all the obscure storage stuff.

2:18 - and they couldn't design the stiffening rod so that it remains connected to the upper stage? Looks like quite the piece of space debris :(

Maybe it burns up? All the satellites have to raise their orbit from there.

Scott, your content is superb!! Thank you!
Love you footage and reviews. I enjoy the down to earth comments and sharing of new space tech, readily served for the casual tech interested bystander.
Got to love that LOx/RP1 exhaust into a near vacuum from an incandescent niobium nozzle,much better than an altitude test cell on earth, thanks Scott- Ken
That was the exact video I wanted. Very cool footage with explanation of what’s going on.
The night landing on the drone is absolutely incredible
Thanks Scott, another great video keeping my interest in space high!
Another Scott Manley video. Lovely!!!
God I fucking love this company. Thanks for the always awesome vids, Scott!

Indeed there is lots of good imagery from Saturday's launch. Looking forward to Scott's review.
