  • On Tuesday a great video was posted from the fairing of a SpaceX rocket carrying a payload of Starlink Satellites. It was one of the best looks at the interior of the fairings which are practically independent spacecraft able to control their entry & descent to steer their way to a rendezvous with the recovery vessels.

      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.

It could've been just space junk that us humans sent into space, maybe a sattelite. There have been literal thousands of people that have seen the rocket take off with their own eyes, and hundreds have taken photos of artifacts the rocket leaves behind. So many videos of the launch from so many different angles, the landing of the first stage has been recorded even more...

    "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

    • @Retired-Don
      @Retired-Don 3 роки тому +1

      Those rods re-enter in just a month because they (and the StarLink sats) are released in a relatively low orbit. See

      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. :-)
