- After much anticipation, Starship Flight Three is scheduled to finally lift off from SpaceX's Starbase launch site this week! In this video, we'll be guiding you through the flight from launch to splashdown.

We are now doing weekly aerial flyovers depending on the support that we get. Our cost range from pilot fees to rental fees of the Cessna 172 that is used for the flyovers over the sites.

Thanks for Watching! - Наука та технологія
I didn't think of the two scenarios for the booster landing maneuver! Great video, concise, well documented with excellent animations. Many thanks to the entire team!
Great video RGV, Thank you!!!!
Some of the best and most in depth starship content on UA-cam! Thank you!
Greatly looking forward to this upcoming launch!
Thank you RGV for another excellent video!
YES! I was hoping somebody would make a video like this!
Thank you, a great synopsis as always.
Very good! A lot of information well presented in a short time. Subbed.
Awesome Video!
Cart and horse arr fine, just like first two launches SpaceX will be ready to launch as soon as license update is issued, which FAA likely advised them will be early this week.
if the booster can achieve the landing they will try to simulate the catching procedure before spashdown
Godspeed !
Lets hope the FAA comes through with the launch license.
It's weird that the boostback burn started so quickly after staging on flight 2 because SpaceX's timeline suggested 12 seconds (and 11 for flight 3)...
Markus would be proud of this.
Amazing 3D renders! But why not to at least TRY to land the orbiter?🤔
1:07 the SpaceX timeline showed 12 seconds for flight 2 (which was wrong) and 11 seconds for flight 3, so the timeline there's no reason to think there will be a longer gap.
Yeah. Noting that neither NSF nor EDA recent video stated these "big difference" claims when it's not really apple to apple
👍
Im in Mauritius, the re-entry might be visible here, however it will be daylight still. If launch could be delayed by 3 hours please SpaceX haha
I would be able to donate a spare sofa couch as payload for free, to have it ejected out the dispenser door. Burning it up in atmosphere would be way cheaper for me, than to bring it to the disposal site here.
I don't get why they don't reverse and stall orbit. While the fall will still be extreme, it would be much less energy to burn off.
Doing that would require more fuel than is practical to carry with modern technology. There would be no useful mass left for payload. We would need much much more efficient engines to make it viable.
That would require fuel. You'll need just as much fuel to decelerate from 17,000 mph as you do to accelerate to 17,000mph. That would be impossible to carry with you. That's why spacecraft use the atmosphere to slow themselves down.
@@DavJumps They're gonna have some here, that's the test they're running.
@@up4open763 Google the "rocket equation". It's simply impossible to do (in a way that's useful) with modern technology.
@@up4open763 No. Inert spacecraft in a "stable" orbit will remain in that orbit indefinitely - until the effects of aerodynamic drag slow the vehicle enough to lower its apogee into the thicker part of the atmosphere beyond which it can no longer escape re-entering. Spacecraft in low earth orbit keep their orbits stable by periodically thrusting to keep their orbital velocity high enough to maintain their desired orbital altitude.
For a spacecraft in a stable orbit to purposefully end its spaceflight and return to the planet, it will conduct a precisely timed engine burn to lower its apogee into the thicker part of the earth's atmosphere at the location and entry angle chosen to allow the spacecraft to both survive the extreme stresses of reentry and target its designated landing site on the surface.
The change in velocity required is far less than you'd expect. The spacecraft still enters the atmosphere at nearly the same velocity it was traveling at in orbit. The retropropulsive burn isn't about slowing the ship down, but changing its orbit to intersect the atmosphere. If the atmosphere wasn't there, it could very well come around to the other side of the planet at a higher altitude than it entered the burn.
1:07 This is no difference compared to Flight 2 *flight plan*
False.
@@iamaduckquackPlease read the countdown section in press kit on NSF Flight 2 launch thread or SpaceX Flight 2 website on wayback machine, before replying back. Thank you
@@iamaduckquackBears eat beets.
@@iamaduckquack There is a difference, but it actually shows it as a second LESS of gap. It said 12 seconds for flight 2 (which was wrong) and says 11 seconds for flight 3
@@reagank.2268Yes but time are approximate so it's most likely a rounding error
man twitter bots are spreading to youtube wtf
what do you mean by that
@@jk_vr250 I wonder the same thing.. I wonder if even HE knows.
Not even close to a bot. RGV has been doing fly overs of SpaceX’s Boca Chica site for 5 years. You should tune in for one of their ~2 hour livestreams covering everything that’s changed each week.
Alex is referring to the bot commentators which you don't see anymore because I deleted them - peekaboo
Yay! @@RGVAerialPhotography
The title was presumptuous, and after watching there would be a lot more I would like to know but we are limited by the knowledge of the youtuber.
Kind of getting the cart in front of the horse, does Elon Musk have any sort of permission from the FAA to launch his rocket?
Not at this moment, but FAA permission normally comes only a day or two before the launch.
does SpaceX* have any sort of permission from the FAA to launch its* rocket.
The answer is no, permission is pending, but all signs are pointing towards it coming before the 14th
All signs point to FAA approval coming as soon, like within days from now. Could happen Tomorrow, Tuesday or Wednesday.
Hence why they said 'could launch as soon as..."
I see you are new to this. How SpaceX & FAA work together has been well documented. SpaceX doesn’t load up the flight termination explosives nor announce a launch date until the FAA lets them know launch license will be coming in a couple days.
What a waste ! Elon is the most popular ignorant genius on the planet :P
Womp womp
Then why waste your time watching and commenting?
@@rogerthomas169 Why do you believe it was a waste of my time? It wasn't to me. The only thing I regret is not mentioning what a great video production it is and the information given was well written.
Womp womp
Starship is Musk's Folly. Better for SpaceX if it blows up on the pad, so the team can get the idiots butt out of the way
So what year did musk fire you?
