This week we will be looking at the list of performance upgrades that SpaceX made to the mechanical systems of the Orbital Launch Mount. This includes adding a significant amount of redundancy features to prevent the failure of important safety systems. We will also be examining the new sensor upgrades which will should help prevent the Super Heavy Booster from colliding with the Orbital Launch Mount.

Weekly updates on Starbase from other creators is fantastic, but this channel is by far the most accurate source of detailed technical information on the whole operation. Major props to you and everyone who helps make these videos possible! They are invaluable to the entire community!
Agreed! Zach is incredible!
I agree, he does a great job with these information videos! I also think both sides would benefit from more frequent shorter update videos. Keep up the fantastic content !
AGREED, this is the best channel for detailed engineering videos
Uh, no.
This channel is definitely a cut above
FYI, as a control systems designer, the 'gold' valve is for Safety, the 'Silver' valve is for controls. You're correct about the position switch vs position transmitter. They typically run on two separate controllers and the safety side acts as "permission" (permissives) for the process controls system from a programming standpoint. The valve doubling acts as a higher SIL level for safety integrity. Great video as usual.
Thanks! I probably could have explained that part a little better! I almost thought I was going too deep into the topic
I was about to do homework but I guess not
trying to fully comprehend all of this information is my homework lol
😂😂😂😂😂
*this* is now your homework!
Do your homework become a part of the people that save humanity and get us off this rock.
INSANE VIDEO. The level of technical detail and clear explanations make these videos invaluable. Obviously building rockets is complicated, but these videos show just how complicated even the most simple of this are. I am shocked an April launch is even possible given all the complexities. Also, the turnaround time between your last video and this video was shockingly fast, it really shows how hard you are working! Keep it up and can't wait for the next one!
Your theory on the 31 engine static fire towards the end just makes complete sense🤯👍
Easily the best forensic channel yet on Starship development.
This channel's output is unique, and absolutely excellent.
Many thanks once more!
Dang, Zack! You and your team have really done a lot of work here. You have dug up a lot of clues and solved complex puzzles; then summarized everything with great visuals so viewers can understand.
Outstanding coverage and detailed analysis of SpaceX activities. This is indeed unprecedented coverage of any space rocket development. What a wonderful time to be alive!
These videos definitely shows us the visual iceberg of what SpaceX is achieving behind what is obviously seen on UA-cam. Most of us cheer at every successful launch yet the sheer efforts of the team not seen is quie actually staggering.
You do know that Tesla and SpaceX are two different companies right?
@@Raptor2 was referring to SpaceX, mistakenly typed Tesla. Syntax error revised! 👌
There is no other SpaceX info channel that is as interesting and as fun to watch as this.
Agreed...and post for the algorithm. 👍
As a now retired Instrument & Controls Engineer (of 42 years) this video was very engaging and very insightful!
Well done and hope to see more like it.👍👍
Hands down the best SpaceX videos on YT. People who are into Space and not watching your stuff are missing out, big time.
I am very impressed with your thorough analysis of Stage 0 in this video. Your insights are a reflection of your extensive engineering background which afford viewers a deep dive into how Space X is progressing toward launch.
Mind blown! By SpaceX for their thoughtful designs. By Starbase folks for the diligent implementation. By you for the careful observation and analysis. Just wow! We are undeserving beneficiaries of your hard work. Thank you.
The best SpaceX videos on the internet!!!
StarbaseSim dev here: While you can do things like switching off individual engines, the stuff on the left side, the cross sectional view and the force vectors are not available in the current version as I made this just for Zack and with the help of the Unity editor.
Download link is in the video description.
Kudos to you Stage Zero Zack, and the entire CSI Starbase team for another outstanding deep dive. Keep it coming sir.
A year ago, when I first stumbled upon your channel, I must admit I found it a tad cheesy. It didn't seem to offer much more than a dozen others out there. However, like a fine wine, your work has matured, and your virtual backgrounds have grown up too. Your ability as an outsider to reverse engineer these complex facilities is thoroughly impressing. Your presentation and production skills have reached new heights. So keep going, and don't forget to keep sprinkling that special "cheez" that makes your content so enjoyable.
Thank you! It was cheesy at times, but that was my way of trying out things that I was able to improve on later! lol
@@CSIStarbase You have to start someplace, and it is working. It keeps it light enough the tech stuff doesn't get too dry, and the graphics you use are helpful. Thumbs up to those who make them as well.
i'm litterally speechless. First of all, for you guys at CSI Starbase creating amazing technical content based only on GLIMPSES of what's happening at Starbase. Then i'm amazed at the complexity and the sheer scale of the system SpaceX's engineers are creating. These videos show the ingenuity of both parties. Good job Zack and SpaceX team.
This has become one of the best starship channels out there and done it seemingly overnight. Huge props for what you are doing, this is really good stuff! Fantastic research and presentation.
I’m an Electronics Engineer currently working in Instrumentation Reliability. I really appreciate your in depth analysis. Great Channel !!
Missed this live, but cant wait to watch and learn, thank you @CSI Starbase!
It's wonderful to see just how thoroughly the backup systems have been devised and set up.
I really like your deep dives. The depth of information you give, gives a whole new perspective.
Thank you!!! Glad you enjoyed it
By far my favorite channel right now. Love this content
Your videos make my brain tingle. Absolutely excellent!
Well done! Looks like launch science is just as complex as rocket science.
Once agin such a deep dive Zach and team can't belive how far ahead spacex engineers are at this point
This channel has quickly become the most interesting of all starship content
Zack - your videos are among the best long form content on UA-cam. Thanks so much.
this is the coolest channel covering Starship I've seen on YT.
All the others are not beginner friendly at all. you always go back and explain what needs to be explain. I'm sad I just discovered this now
This is by far my favourite SpaceX channel. Insightful, entertaining and an adult understanding of engineering. You register real issues and explain them in an excellent fashion.
You deserve great success with this, as I imagine it is a nerve racking experience. Please don't dilute the style however much others may attempt to broaden the approach. There is far to much coverage that settles at a level that is little more than gosh isn't it big...
Genuine content, like yours, is sustainable and I suspect that is ultimately your desire.
Thanks so much.
Clean story / information without sensationalism. Informative and beautiful videography
I hope every science (high school, undergrad, and graduate school) teacher recommends this channel to their students
I can't wait to see a comprehensive video culmination of all these video's after S24 and B7 embark on their launch. I've learned more from this channel than 20 other channels I follow. Thank you!
Out of ALL the channels dedicated to SpaceX, this is by far the most informative. I understand 10% of it, but I'm still fascinated!
Lmao SAME.
That‘s so crazy, thank you for explaining so many things that we would have never thought of otherwise!
Well done. Miss you all and being absolutely obsessed. Fingers crossed for a successful orbital flight test!
The amount of joy you bring me every time is insane ! Everything is so perfected executed ! The amount of details, the narration, the directing and all the animations and illustrations.
Zacj ...this is insane.
I'm going to upgrade my Patreon support subscription right now !
Wow! Thank you Thomas. I really appreciate comments like this!!
What a amazing deep dive. Love how you link it all together. I hope you and your team feel the love & respect we have for you all. Just about the pins. I did it for a job for about four years. If you have the right tools it’s not that hard. It just tacks time to do right.
As a retired Chemical Engineer, this video is filled with awesome detail and explanation!!!! Thank you!
Exceptionally valuable considerations. Well done!
First time I have had one of your videos recommended to me. I'm glad I clicked it. Thanks for the informative video. Great work and keep them coming! Subscribed!
Welcome!
Don't forget to tell your friends and family to subscribe, let's get this man to 100k subscribers! He deserves it!
Great episode. Manual shut down could of been to test that the opposite engine auto aborted if it was out of the limits to correct with thrust vectoring before clearing the pad.
I considered that as well but I figured the TVC could be enough to correct for that.
@@CSIStarbase Yes, doubling the loss of power is not the best way of solving the imbalance.
I would be very surprised if the computers on the booster don't abort should that happen before launch.
Excellent as usual ZacK!!! Knowledge DROP!!!
When I was a child, I got up early before school to see the Gemini and early Apollo launches on our family's black and white TV. I just couldn't imagine how it was possible for humans to build and operate all the equipment needed to make it happen. Having successfully built my own AM crystal radio receiver (hearing Cousin Brucie on WABC out of NYCity, nearly 100 miles away even!) I was certain I had to become an engineer to gain some level of understanding. There are no words that can express my gratitude for the level of detail and production quality of CSI Starbase's videos - you have made me a child again, staring with wide eyed amazement once more at the ingenuity and perseverance of the human mind. I am so thankful that I got to live in the time that spans these two achievements.
Hi William, thank you for the comment, it means a lot to come from someone who appreciates the history. Also, thanks for sharing your memories.
Kudos to you for opening my eyes to something I never thought was needed. All of this makes me think that the first launch is going to go much smoother. It was a good idea for spacex to wait and developed these new systems before launching. Incredible stuff.
THANKS ZACH,AND ALL YOUR SUPPORTERS 🤗👍💚💚💚
Given the number of SpaceX related videos I watch, I have no idea why the algorithm didn’t present you before today. This content is insanely good. Brilliant work and frankly a great example of what UA-cam can be, but rarely is. Mad respect. This deserves to be your full time job. Subscribed!
Thanks William, we're glad you found us too. If you're hungry for daily Starship immersion, you can join our Discord by becoming a Patron. Thanks again.
31:55 This seems prophetic now . . . a day after completion of SpaceX's orbital test flight.
Incredibly, unbelievably informative. I'm ever so glad I discovered this channel, but not as much as I am glad that you do these really deep dives.
Thanks.
Thank you!
How have I never stumbled upon this channel before??? I thought this was going to be some clickbait video that just talked about some random aspect of the starship launch for the sake of talking about starship for views, but I was unbelievably wrong. This is insanely detailed information. You've earned yourself a sub!
Thank you! Sharing this content with your friends definitely helps get the word out there!
Excellent report as always, Zack!
Loving the result of all your detective work. It makes it really apparent why the launch mount rates the Stage 0 designation.
Zack, you and your team are amazing! Thank you for your amazing break-down videos. They provide an insight into the reality of engineering rockets beyond anything else I would ever learn, and it's stunning. Really helps me appreciate the value of the engineers.
Beautiful analysis. I have watched many of your deep dives but I really understood this one.
Nice job to you and the whole team! launch week is going to be fun!
Seriously!!! Can’t wait to experience that.
Wow. Mind Blown... It is amazing how much detail you can obtain from just a few images. We are all so lucky SpaceX is developing this out in the open.
These videos are so much better than almost all other starbase videos. Keep it up!
As always, great content and explanation! Thanks!
Impressive and inspirational. Young people need this channel at the top of their Space X stan list.
I love your coverage, you were the only one I saw to accurately predict that the static fire wouldn't significantly hurt the new concrete and that the deluge system was for after the first orbital launch. Everyone else I watched seemed to miss that. You used facts and evidence and not just wild guesses. Excellent stuff.
Incredible video, congrats to the Spacex team a,d community.
You've had it down. Continue. Please keep up your good work.
That table is an engineering marvel absolutely amazing human ingenuity
Fellow engineer here. Love your excellent videos. Keep it up!
the 33 Engine staticfire thingy was genius (: Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
Its exciting seeing all of the public knowledge we have tying in with speculative theories. Outstanding insites!
these are the best Starship videos. I swear the let's go downstairs section was so awesome!
Great video! Really love the new green screen background of the mega bay!
Greatly appreciate the technical content for us space nerds!
Unbelievable well done. Your ability to craft a narrative with clarity and humor about a complicated topic which is not fully in context for most of us is most impressive. Thank you.
I'm so excited to see if She Launches tomorrow!!
Another great quality video from CSI starbase. A must see for anyone that wants to dive a bit deeper in everything starbase/starship
Channel is on another level. Gives you a totally different and deeper understanding. Thank you for your great work!
Thank you!
Amazing work, you are a true CSI now with the help of community you are excelling all the expectations. Great work, congratz!
Another awesome deep-dive episode. You and the team are going some good work. Space is hard. A lot has to go right. Looks like they're on their way to getting all the bases covered and loose ends tied up.
Thank you Zach, you are providing the best, most accurate, technical information of any of the channels I have seen. You’re filling all of the gaps!
Freaking awesome video man, keep up the great work! I look forward to these each week! I would be very interested in shielding under the booster and ship as well!
Amazing analysis, makes so much sense now
Firstly, you succeeded in exciting me. The information these load pins give the stack is mission critical. I remember when I first saw the booster disappear inside the table and I remember thinking 'that thing had better launch exactly straight up'. But as always that was a gross oversimplification of thought. Uneven engine output, engine outs, dynamic wind shear, hell at this scale the Coriolis effect - this allows it all to be accounted for in real time to ensure the first 5m of travel dont end with Elon crying in his tea as stage zero gets wrecked. This is incredible sleuthing work Zack, well done. Secondly, you were right to apologise on twitter to all the SpaceX engineers about everyone thinking only recently were SpaceX checking the OLM could handle a full stack. Looking back I expect they just shook their heads when all the channels said the same thing and waited. And waited. And now Zach makes us all go 'ahhhh shi****'. Outstanding work and humble to boot.
Another advantage of the weigh stand over the crane squid is it allows Space X to adjust the balance (trim) of starship, so they will all fly the same.
I think this is your best from my point of view. You presented your thesis in the title and have an orderly lead up to substantiating it. Very convincing. Thank you. (I view these while I wash dishes allowing me to take my time and listen carefully.)
Now I know more about Starbase! Thanks for educating me.
fantastic take on the manual shutdown during 31-engine
These deep dives are wonderful. We see so much going on but often we have no idea what or why, that is until you explain it to us. Great content.
Congratulations Zack - this is really a first class channel for SpaceX. I am pretty sure that SpaceX engineers (and probably Elon Musk) are studying your UA-cam videos with a magnifying glass! They learn a lot from you - even if occasionally there may be some inaccurate guess work!
Awesome video Zack! I really liked the part about the Starship engine stand and how and why they have system for weighting the ship
WOW!!! amazing work!
Maybe the sickest intro ever
Thanks for the deep dive. Makes total sense why they would shut down a raptor!
Another superb job at explaining the progress.
Without a doubt, the BEST THING I’V SEEN on the internet…… ever 👍👍👍
This was a great deal of detailed information presented in a clear and understandable format. Thank you so much for doing so much research on these fascinating topics!
Wonderful deep dive Zack. Filled in so many blank spaces and yes it got here before the first flight (as you know by now). Makes me appreciate all over again how sneaky, devious and altogether brilliant the engineers at SpaceX really are.
Hey Zack, just finished binge-watching the last 3 deep-dives! Once again you have produced an incredibly insightful and comprehensive overview of some very complex topics. It was great going through the entire history of SpaceX’ structural and flight test articles again and getting a refresher on the failures and iteratons the starship architecture went through to get to the point it is today, especially with the OTF (hopefully) being only days away! Thanks to you i now know what to look out for and when to cross my fingers extra hard during that flight :) really hope B7S24 pulls an SN8 and performs almost perfectly on the first try. In any case, excitement is guaranteed! Thank you once again for putting your time and effort into these videos, and i hope you have a blast watching this beast lift off!
Loving the explanation and visuals! Truly next-level
Thank you for your in-depth analysis of the Starship and it's associated (sub)systems. I look forward to your next video on this.
Loved the trip downstairs into the highbay
The amount of things that happen on a software level alone during that startup sequence, and it all has to happen in a matter of seconds... crazy. As a software developer myself i can only imagine how complex the code for this would be. Thanks for this awesome video!
