    Hi you awesome people! Sorry it has been so long between uploads. Life gets busy sometimes I'm afraid. I hope you enjoy this explanation of how gravity assists work in real life. Jupiter is a crazy beast allowing one single gravity assist to kick a vessel to the outer solar system and beyond. Enjoy this mini grand tour of our solar system today using just one Falcon 9.
    What should we do next guys!?

      I managed to record a landing of kaaba on north pole of The Moon in my UA-cam account. And I planned another kaaba landed on Venus or Mars. Perhaps you should land a landmark worthy for kerbals/humanity as kaaba for muslims' praying direction on surface of other bodies.

    Great video as usual there mate, you did a great job, WAY better than that Nessus fellow (but don't tell him I said so!). Actually his videos are just so-so, yours are much better! 😀
    Joking aside, I really enjoyed this, but I still have no idea how you manage to spot these planetary alignments to pull these gravity assists off. I can just about manage to use one to get myself from Minmus to Kerbin, using the Mun to throw me into Kerbin's atmosphere when I've miscalculated how much Dv I needed to get home.

  • @AloysiusDente
    @AloysiusDente 6 років тому +9

    I think the "problem" with these Falcon 9/Falcon Heavy videos is that I have a hard time believing that SpaceX would ever consider putting a cryogenic upper stage inside the payload fairing. They wouldn't want to use an existing engine like the RL-10 for publicity reasons, and also in real life it isn't as simple as slapping an engine on to a procedural tank. Even if they were ok with using an existing engine, they'd probably have to use Centaur, but that wouldn't work because Centaur is 12.68 meters long, and the Falcon payload fairing is 13 meters long, leaving basically no room for a hypergolic (or solid) 4th stage like the one in this video, let alone an actual spacecraft. SpaceX would have to develop their own cryogenic upper stage for something like this, but I think they'd rather wait for BFR for deep-space launches. That being said, I love these videos.

  • @thedroplett214

    Nice work Marcus! It's very very educational! Can you explain us how to calculate a launch to rendezvous? I hate correct inclinations before I get the orbit...

    • @MarcusHouse
      @MarcusHouse  6 років тому +2

      Best way to get the correct inclination (generally matching that of the moon) at launch is to place a small sat at about 200km that is perfectly matched to the Moons inclination. You can then use that vessel as your target (which is also much easier to align in the map view) and with Kerbal Engineer. Then wait until the relative inclination is almost zero (sometimes need to pick alternate launch sites depending on the time of year). I kind of show this very briefly at the start of this video. To pick the correct launch window to transfer to another body (Jupiter etc) use Transfer Window Planner (it is great).

    I always think of the New Horizons probe that was launched on an Atlas V 551 which has less payload than an expendable Falcon but a bit more than a reusable one and that was launched directly into a solar escape trajectory at 16.2 km/s. It did get a gravity assist from Jupiter that says it saved 3 years on the trip past Pluto.

    • @221b-l3t
      @221b-l3t 6 років тому +1

      You can't scale payload to LEO with payload to interplanetary that's not how it works. The payload drop off is unique with every rocket and it drops much steeper on Falcon than Atlas. Especially 551. It's actually overtakes Falcon in payload capacity to interplanetary and so do most rockets with high energy upper stages such as Centaur. Poor Falcon stage 2 can't keep up with efficient hydrogen powered stages.

    • @MarcusHouse
      @MarcusHouse  6 років тому +1

      I'd recommend Transfer Window Planner to allow you to easily pick the launch windows. Doing a grand tour like this is a bit more tricky but you essentially want several planets leading each other by about 30 degrees so you can skip from one to another just using gravity assists.

    • @DC2022
      @DC2022 6 років тому +1

      There is a transfer window option on MJ2 and Maneuver Node thingy can place maneuver nodes for some operation (changing plane or Ap/Pe, Hohmann, etc.) so I'm pretty sure it can help you.

      Fair comment, although with the size of their fairing I would imagine there would be space for a small 3rd stage with a small payload, or even have a large enough payload to be able to take say a rover with a lander, or like I think they should, send out a couple of smaller video capable sats so that instead of just having to rely on telemetry they could actually watch the landings :~)
