Amazing Camera Views From Inside SpaceX Rocket Fairings
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 чер 2020
- 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.

"The sun is probably brighter than the second stage" - Scott Manley 2020
Depending on distance... a Merlin probably has a few MW in the visible spectrum :-)
Sounds like a problem that can be solved by more boosters.
@@CptPatch are you implying there would be any problem that cannont be solved by more boosters? ^^
What a legend
well i mean he's not wrong tho is he?
I always have to remember those are the size of a bus
yeah its actually insane how fast you loose relation to size
oh yeah i forgot about that
@@patricbaumann5134 that's what she said.
They need more bananas on board so that we can get an idea of scale
@@patricbaumann5134 Lose*
The second stage going past the fairing is so satisfying, it looks like it's out of a sci fi movie
We’re living in a science fiction movie. There’s a new episode every year.
Although, I think this year is a c little over the top.
Space capsule hijack scene | You only live twice(1967)
Nah it's not sci fi looking. And this is why it's beautifull.
it was amazing :D
Did they catch them?
Could the guy who commented "Can't wait to see the Scott Manley break down!" under the SpaceX video please show up here?
I was literally just thinking this!
Same here... was waiting for this video same as that guy. XD
thinking about him too
Same here, let's go look for him! Does anyone have the link to the other video?
I was waiting for this comment, cheers!
Only Scott Manley could have done a 15 minutes video of a 9 second footage.
And make it good!!!
Yup, the fact that it's good, too... :)
This was the short version.
lol the short version
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.
Me seeing the gif on Twitter: neat
Me watching Scott Manley's breakdown: holy crap that's cool
Me watching Scott Manley's mental breakdown: NO SCOTT DON'T SHO-
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.
Exactly! He explains what we're seeing and makes it mean so much more.
Amount of tech that goes into these fairings is mindblowing
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.
@@carljohan9265 Musk logic: Only reusable fairings are expensive enough to save money by reusing them. So let's make them reusable!
@@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.
I love how good and cheap camera technology has gotten...
The fairing costs about $6M, so they could use the best cameras without impacting the profit margin. Weight on the other hand is very important.
Technology is a wonderful thing
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.
@@andrasbiro3007 a go pro is like £400 max. exactly, if you're spending millions on a rocket, cameras like this are essentially disposable...
@@CraigUntlNytTym Four hundred pounds is a lot of weight to add, but they're an American company, so they'd be adding dollars.
Love how Scott can turn what is basically one short video clip into such an informative and interesting 15 minute video!
I didn't realise a guy found the fairing and sent the GoPro back to SpaceX... What a nice guy!
I think people are legally obligated to return any found rocket debris. not that anyone would have known if he just kept it, but he'd be in trouble if he shared the video online
@@somedude-lc5dy that's a good point, wasn't there a guy who kept the hatch from the crew dragon inflight abort test though?
@@AldenDoble wait what?
Now he can have a longer vacation with the money spaceX paid him
@@sagittariusa1304 a fisherman found the parachutes and the ejected hatch with the dragon logo on. I saw a few pictures on social media but never heard anything of him after that... Maybe SpaceX sent the boys round to sort him out 😂
THE spokesman of space -
so much to show and explain to us,
from so little. Always positive!
Fascinating footage. What a time to be alive. Imagine seeing this stuff back in the 40s and 50s and knowing this was in our future.
Imagine looking back from the next 40's and 50's and saying, 'You see kids, this is where it all started...'
I haven’t seen that fairing footage yet and OH MY GAWD IT’S BEAUTIFUL.
Your photo analysis is so amazing. I never would have understood that there is so much info to be had from these images and videos.
9:57 the starlink satellite stack reminds me of the monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey
Shhh, the satellites are going to combine into one big monolith. Don't tell anyone!
@@UntetheredRobot Nice!
@@BnORailFan nah, I think they will create a stargate
@Enji Bkk
Elon Musk works for the Ori, there will soon be a super gate around earth! Quick, everybody convert to origin!
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
Wut
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.
Yet another iconic shot. SpaceX are the gift that just keep on giving...
As soon as they posted this I thought about how I couldn't wait for your breakdown of it
SpaceX always has the best footage.
Props to the brother who found that camera
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.
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 ;)
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!
SpaceX did a launch with 64 sats, but that is multiple satellite operators
@@philb5593 60 starlink + 2 half-fairings + one 2nd stage + one 1st stage = 64 spacecraft.
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
@@johndododoe1411 Plus the three Skysat imaging birds.
Hope the Guy that sent the Fairing Camera back got a free Hat?
Cheers

With ALL the Video "YOU are the man when it comes to Best Told Stories of Space"
Excellent breakdown Scott. I would have missed almost every detail you mentioned
Looks like you missed that UFO that went by oh so slowly, didn't you?
This is not mundane stuff, these technologies and views are spectacular. I grew up avidly watching from Mercury on and what is happening now is incredible.
Mercury? Careful there grandpa.........
Real neat that you guys still care about Earth stuff all the way up on Mercury, here on Mars, almost nobody gives a care anymore.
@@mqL49J Yeah there's just no respect...
@@mqL49J Mercury SPACE capsule , but you knew that....
It is spectacular! And nearly quotidian. The problem is that "spectacular" is rather commonplace today. The "remarkable" may no longer be remarkable. There are so many different current events and developments of great significance, we must split our limited attention so finely... data fatigue, dilution of impact, reduction of time on topic, it is challenging to respect all the info available. And that's only the credible sources. I was born a few months before Sputnik 1. Space was the future when I was a child and I am thrilled that that future has returned
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!
Only Scott Manley in the world can make a very interesting video on faring. Love you.
Flat Earthers must be admiring the quality of the "CGI" in these videos! :)
Flat earth tears are flowing.
flatearthers: "CGI thought of everything except the stars"
@@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?....
@@bangurhead4027
Which video and a time stamp would be nice. Also if something orbiting earth faster than the rocket is your only evidence that this is fake, that's literally nothing. 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... You can't just disprove all of that by saying "oh well there's something there and I don't know what it is"
@@bangurhead4027 I see a lot of artefacts due to the rendering of the video by the format converters, by UA-cam converting it into its FLV, and by my in-browser player. And of course it all looks different on my handheld's UA-cam app. But flatearthers are unaware of these, that's why they see tons of bottles, beer cans, cars, wrenches, dolls, UFOs supposedly left behind by the Hollywood technicians.
The moment i saw in reddit the video from the fairing i started craving for this video. Thanks man.
Some truly awe inspiring shots from the fairings. Thank you Scott!
Me: wow such a cool shot!
Scott Manley (An Intellectual): *Disects every second and all the specs of the fairing deployment*
Holy crap earth is so pretty
...Was not expecting to enjoy this one as much as I did, thanks for the effort Scott!
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!
They're not up there very long before they're starting back down.
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.
go pro secretly has the golden tinfoil(can someone please inform me what it is actually called) on it
Good insulation folks ^^
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.
Thanks for compiling this. Much appreciated from cornfield Indiana!
"Drone ship landings are kind of old hat"
Imagine telling that to someone in the 60s 😂😂😂
Others: There are no flying cars by 2020
Me: There is actually a CAR IN SPACE
Alex Christian - Imagine telling that to any other Aerospace company besides SpaceX!
I’ve been waiting for this! Finally!
I've seen so much space footage that I've become somewhat jaded to its beauty. But these are truly amazing, thanks for sharing and explaining!
As always, I pick up an amazing amount of information from Scott's videos that I never would have noticed on my own!
Oh I was waiting for your comments on this! Thanks.
7:47 that's just insane
Thank you Scott Manley!!! This is fantastic.
you really have the voice and cadence to overtalk these videos, iconic... Keep posting, we live for this stuff.
Was waiting for this video. 😇
10:00 And here's the fin stack for our heat sink.... Oh wait, wrong channel! 😉
It's always fantastic to see how much footage SpaceX shares with us!
One of the best of your shows!
Thank you so much for your content Scott, you make the world a better place!
5:24 look, we where all wrong! The earth is actually a loop! I see the curve!
* were,
sorry for being a grammer nazi
The surve is just because of the camera lens
@@nyusic767 r/whooosh
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👍
beautiful footage, thanks Scott and thanks spacex.
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.
Have you heard about PLD Space? They look like a quite promising smallsat launcher
I always think of how one of these costs more than my entire house
SpaceX always have awesome videos from there launches.
Great video Scott. You basically are doing a whole ‘Post-Flight’ analysis of the fairings. Really nice.
I was questening myself since the launch: is that at 02:13 the moon?
I was wondering that too. Right now the moon is half full, so it's about the right shape. I can't think what else it could be.
hjalfi Aliens!
That's no moon!
"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
So fascinating seeing the sheer power of the second stage from so close. Watching it shoot past the fairing and out of frame.
The last time I was this early jokes about being early had only been done a hundred times.
5:07 lovely shots showng the Covid-ture of the earth (albeit distorted by the ultrawide lens)
sooo, we have virus that is killing us, we are virus that is killing Earth... what if Earth is a virus? :)
Hey the best part is sticking that landing, as an engineer I alway tune in for that. 😁
Great stuff Scott. Thanks very much ♥️
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 :(
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. :-)
But yeah, I know what you mean...
Maybe it burns up? All the satellites have to raise their orbit from there.
at that orbit it won't be up there but for maybe a few months.
Deploy softly and let loose a big stick.
The flat earth crowd level of difficulty continues to go up explaining these type images.
Flat earthers can officially suck it. Their usual gibberish and "it's fake" comments were conspicuously absent after the booster landing in which the camera feed didn't cut out. Because when their one and only (extremely flawed) argument got utterly crushed, they had nothing.
Nah nah nah can't hear you, I'll keep ignoring all the evidence. The earth is flat because pancakes and fish eye lenses and the moon is a hollow hologram spaceship! Sarcasm, or is it?
Ba ha ha ha ha
If anything, they have an easier time of it, because CGI is getting better and better every year. If you just claim everything is CGI, you don't need to make any other arguments.
@@VainerCactus0 Except you can clearly tell CGI from something that is real. Just play the latest CG movie on a screen next to another screen playing an old movie that used practical effects. The difference is instantly obvious.
Fascinating stuff. Thank you, Scott!
I think having the first bunch of starlink satelites easily visible is a net positive because having more stuff moving in the night sky is exciting for us average humans, inspiring more awareness of space.
2:37 Looks like about 800GB of Trident Z Royal Series RAM falling out of a computer in slow mo.
LMAO YES
DUDE
Flerfer breakdown: "It's all fake"
Da, dada, da, da, dada, da dat, dats all folks.
Very comprehensive mate, well done.
Really fantastic analysis Scott! The depth and detail of your discussion is incomparable 👍
"19 seconds ago" how were there already 3 likes before me
and several downvotes
Ha! I was #3 @17s 😀
12:07 You missed your thumbnail click bait:
SpaceX Starlink satellite deployment creates a black hole!
Great video as always. SpaceX has been keeping us all entertained for a lot of years now. Good stuff.
Thanks Scott, another great video keeping my interest in space high!
Unrelated thought:
If we put a flat earther or anyone who think that it was all CGI into a spacecraft and launch them into space, then they would still insist on their twisted beliefs.
And if the spacecraft has Windows they would say the view is an animation :)
Are there actually any of those people left?
@@yes_head Yes. In fact i just finished arguing with one. He argument is space does not exist. If it did it would suck the atmosphere..........................except vacuum does not suck. I gave a very detailed explanation of why it doesn't happen as well as pointing to several vids. I was very patient. If he continues I would ask for him to provide proof, such as vids/papers, basically crap from conspiracy groups. Not interested.
@@itsnotallrainbowsandunicor1505 you shouldn't waste your time on these idiots because no matter what kind of proof you send them they always try to find a way to deny it
@@yes_head There's two kinds. The first are the usual sort of chancers who prey on peoples stupidity and cognitive dissonance in order to separate them from their cash, they operate most of the websites and YT channels. The second kind are the followers and truly brain dead.
Scott these videos are the best on the internet. Thank you!
Scott, your content is superb!! Thank you!
Glad someone did an in-depth on this video released
It flew into sunlight. Spectacular.
Truly amazing shots! Thanks.
The interactions between the fairing and the exhaust look amazing... better than sci-fi! :D
Wow thanks Scott for this beautiful views , I really appreciate all that you do to keep us up-to-date on spacex and other space exploration videos. You really inspire me and I'm even thinking about starting a UA-cam channel about space exploration and tech. Thanks
This video is fantastic! Thank you!
Another Scott Manley video. Lovely!!!
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.
good luck !
This footage really is amazing, I wonder how sceptics are reacting. Great video Scott.
The sceptics can only say it's CGI or fake, they have nothing else. Brain dead morons.
@@WildPhotoShooter I'm glad you said it lmao
SpaceX just does space better than anyone else, we get fairing cams, first stage cams, second stage cams, engine cams, first stage external landing cams, deployment cams, landing barge cams, dragon cams, tank cams, we’ve even had orbiting Tesla Roadster cams and Ripley cams. Nobody does it better!
Amazing videos and great analysis. This has to be my favorite content on the web and a great antidote to post maths exam exhaustion.
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. 👍😃
love your videos, Scott. Keep up the great work.
Interesting as always 👍
Thanks for sharing 👍😀
Loved this video! GREAT JOB. Learned so much. 👍😁
Excellent break down. Keep up the good work!!
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.
stunning commentary of some seriously beautiful footage you continue to keep the bar high
Awesome footage and great explanations as usual!!! Great job Scott!!! You’re the man when it comes to this stuff. 🤙
Beautiful spacex
SpaceX, under constant development and willing to change without hesitation. That's what differentiates them from almost all other technical manufacturing companies. Certainly those in the "space" industry.
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
