Dear Moon Animation | Part 1 | SpaceX Starship

  • The Dear Moon mission will take place no earlier than early 2023. It will ferry a group of handpicked artists from around the world on a week long trip around the moon. They will fly aboard the Starship vehicle which is currently being developed in Starbase, Tx by SpaceX.
    This is taking me forever to finish so I thought I would just put it out in two parts. I have had much less free time to work on these animations recently and I kept running into issues (mainly with volumetrics in blender) which is what has been taking me so long to finish this. Because of the amount of time that has passed since I started this, many developments have been made, making a good chunk of this outdated. Some major things are: GSE tanks and surrounding area, Landing legs on Starship, Engine layout on the Super heavy booster, and Starship Super heavy being suspended from the catching arm prior to launch. I'm probably going to post these like I did my Starship orbital flight video by posting a part two in the next few weeks, then a day or two later posting a full version. In the full version I might go through and update some of those things, it depends how much time I have.

      Very commendable! Thank you for uploading this. I wonder what plans are in place to mitigate the effects of the booster engine exhausts on the tall tanks and other structures so close to the launch tower. Having around thirty raptor engines firing so close to the ground will generate a very powerful exhaust plume which would likely damage and perhaps destroy those tall tanks installed within a few hundred feet of the launch tower, unless some large deflection system is installed between them, directing the exhaust out toward the gulf, away from the other structures near the launch tower. Even the Falcon launches are performed over an exhaust deflection system of considerable size and durability, while this launch site has no such system.

      @@susanmills875 Excellent point, too, about the rocket exhaust issue, which should be addressed before attempting a launch of such a heavy booster with so many Raptor engines firing so close to the flat surface directly under it and so close to so many tall, unprotected tanks filled with, in some cases, LOX and liquid methane. It would not be a pretty sight, those tanks being blasted over and rupturing, igniting the methane with the rocket exhaust and having so much LOX mixed with it.

  • @steverobbins4872
    @steverobbins4872 3 роки тому +34

    Very nice, but I have one suggestion. I don't think the tower would be holding superheavy at launch. It needs to be sitting on the launch table so that clamps in the launch table can hold it down until all the engines are at full thrust after start-up. Then the clamps release, and it starts to rise. The clamps are critical.

    • @Mr.Deleterious
      @Mr.Deleterious 3 роки тому

      Also, once on orbit the Sea-Level Raptors would cease thrust and the vacuum optimized Raptors would ignite. At least that's what I've been led to believe based on Tim Dodd, The Everyday Astronaut's rundown on the Raptor varients and their capabilities. Exciting times await!

    • @J0J0Z
      @J0J0Z 3 роки тому +3

      And anyway i don't think that the Super heavy's grid fins can support the weight of SH + Starship on the top. Elon was talking only to catch the SH during the landing, never talked about launch SH on this way.

    • @L4JP

      Yes, I totally forgot about the launch clamps initially, I just did not want to go back and render out the animations again for such a small change (visually). However with the Sea level raptors firing in space, from my understanding, Starship may need to fire it's sea level raptors for it to reach orbit, especially with heavy payloads.

    • @KingdaToro
      @KingdaToro 3 роки тому

      They would. At the beginning of the orbital insertion burn, gravity losses are high and TWR is low, so you need all the thrust you can get. That means running all the engines. Once enough fuel has burned off that the acceleration reaches 3 Gs, you'd shut down the sea level engines. Possibly before that, if it winds up being more efficient. Once the acceleration once again reaches 3 Gs on just the vacuum engines, they'd begin throttling down to maintain it. It would essentially be a combination of Apollo's center engine shutdowns for its first and second stages, and Shuttle's engine throttling.
