  • With the space industry growing rapidly, private sector satellites will soon be crowding up the orbit.
    A carrier rocket developed by Munich-based start-up Isar Aerospace is due for take-off next year. Developers hope it will be the first of many launches.

      @Emrys Probably they haven't even heard from Rocket Lab. German Media has only a limited range of view (no worldwide), it typically ends at the horizon and NZ is far behind the horizon ;-)
      Also the comparison is a little bit strange, a comparison between Space X (with launchers in the Ariane 5 class and beyond) to small rockets for cube sats, isn't really realistic, more like a comparison between Boeing or Airbus and Cessna

      They are most likely targeting SSO, Sun Synchronous Orbit, that means the small satellite can get constant sunlight, thus not needing a lot of batteries, reduces launch mass, and SSO satellites can covers the whole earth surface.
      SSO needs a polar launch, thus launching from southern hemisphere (Rocket Labs New Zealand launch site) or in this case northern hemisphere, Norway, would be optimal.

    I'd really wanted to hear why anybody would want to choose this particular brand over other companies in the micro-launcher sector. Comparing it to SpaceX with their aimed payloads 100x the size of this bavarian rocket seems off. It's an entirely different league. There is very hard competition in the form of other companies like Rocket Lab with their 3D-printed rockets and engines printed from titanium dust within a single day(!) and countless others who are close to or already have launched and established their reputation within the industry. There is so much competition and innovation even in Europe with those guys in Scotland and their space tug (can't recall the name of the company) capable of pushing old satellites and debris into a graveyard or reentry orbit after delivering their payload. Seems to me that this niche is already taken and the announcment of Peter Beck, CEO of Rocket Lab that they will have to expand into SpaceX's market with their new Neutron Rocket alongside with a video of him literally eating his own hat for doing so despite his earlier vows to stay in this sector just visualizes how great the pressure is already in a most peculiar way. The EU and Germany might already be too late, as always.

    IMO the big question that has to be asked...
    What exactly is the business model and cost per launch you're targeting, in this case are you really trying to provide a small payload commercial launch service or will the launch service be subsidized in some way, possibly as a research project?
    Although it's true that payloads are getting smaller in size and weight all the time, services like SpaceX then carry multiple payloads into orbit.
    The specific launch vehicle mentioned in this video is supposed to be only about 2 meters in diameter... I'm going to guess that means it won't be able to carry multiple payloads and can only place them in low earth orbit. That size is only a little larger than what you might find built by hobbyists. Any smaller and you almost can't consider it a commercial launch vehicle. So, what is the target cost per launch? Elon Musk a bit infamously commented about Rocketdyne's R&D a few months ago that Musk didn't think their target size was feasable... In Musk's opinion the rocket should be a bit larger around the size of a Falcon 9 as the minimal size to be commercially competitive.

      I guess with their launch platform in Norway they will be targeting a niche for polar orbits, but still not convinced.

      @@ftr98 Yes, but i assume it is much more economic if you gather a bunch of satellites together when their orbits are very similar. Seems cheaper to me to make sure your satellite has 500 or 1000 m's delta-V to get into its exact orbit if you can save tens of millions of dollars on launch costs. Satellites need to have some propulsion anyway, so adding a bit more delta-V should be a simple matter of adding fuel i would think ? With the market expanding rapidly, it should be easier to find enough satellites that are aiming for a very similar orbit. Of course i am not sure, i am only a keyboard warrior and all my space/rocketry knowledge is what i get from playing KSP and watching scott manley and tim dodd.
      Especially when starship is a thing and cargo space/weight is abundant, i could imagine spaceX (or another contractor) even offering little drones that bring your satellite even closer to its intended orbit, then return to starship so everything is fully reusable. Maybe the drones could also be used to clean up space debris :) If i were a billionaire, i would probably consider starting a company that makes such drones. (as a first start, to be followed by drones that can do construction work in space)

  • @Urgelt
    @Urgelt 3 роки тому +4

    Straight out lie: Big launch providers don't care about small satellites.
    But they do. SpaceX routinely launches over 60 satellites using Falcon 9. They intend to accommodate several hundred per launch when Starship is ready. They're already doing rideshare launches for smallsat customers.
    RIdesharing is big business. Several companies act as a kind of middleman - they sell launch services to smallsat customers, aggregate them into a launch module, contract for and schedule launches with major launch providers. It's working very well.
    Dedicated Earth-to-Orbit for smallsats, using expendable launch vehicles, is not a business model that has legs. Economies of scale matter. So does reusability.

    • @meamzcs
      @meamzcs 2 роки тому

      Sure... Ridesharing is great when the one operating it happens to fly into an orbit somewhat close to where you want to be... But if you want some less popular positions, you'll need your own launch... Also the hardest thing is getting to orbit, once you've demonstrated that with a smaller rocket, you will likely find enough investors to build a bigger and reusable one...

    • @Urgelt
      @Urgelt 2 роки тому

      @@meamzcs There *are* no unpopular LEO orbits. There are customers for every orbit, because there is no part of the Earth's surface that is uninteresting to *someone.*
      SpaceX itself has need for just about every LEO orbit imaginable for its Starlink constellation.
      If you want unpopular orbits, you have to go further out, to geostationary or transit orbits. Which you can't reach with a small expendable rocket.
      The only factor keeping small expendable launchers going right now is the fact that large providers do *not* have fully reusable launch vehicles. Even SpaceX doesn't have one, yet. Falcon 9 expends the upper stage, so the cost is still pretty high, which affects affordability and launch cadence. Falcon 9 *can* deliver smallsats to any LEO orbit with ridesharing, but because the launch cadence is limited, there might be a considerable wait before a desired orbit is accessible using Falcon 9. This opens the door a crack for small launch providers.
      Starship changes this equation by lowering the cost to orbit significantly, which is going to goose launch cadence by a lot. SpaceX will fill out its own Starlink constellation much more rapidly with Starship, and ridesharing will be available for desired orbits more frequently.
      In other words, Starship is coming for those small expendable launch providers. They won't be able to survive without full reusability - which probably is impossible with small launch vehicles.
      They'll have to go from unprofitable non-reusable rockets (profits gutted by Starship ridesharing) to fully-reusable launch vehicles *without showing positive margins on expendable rocket launches.* That's asking a lot of investors - who will be reluctant to expect the level of expertise from a small launch provider that would be required to match SpaceX's innovations and pace.
      The launch industry will be winnowed. Both large and small providers will be eliminated through consolidations or bankruptcy. This isn't unexpected; disruption tends to do that. Make no mistake, Starship is disruption on steroids.
      If it works. We shall see!

    It is absolutely wrong to assert that as smaller satellites become more numerous that larger rockets are somehow disadvantaged. On the contrary, the launch provider that provides the least cost per kilogram to orbit has the economic advantage. When this advantage is large enough to offset any additional costs of required orbital adjustments imposed by riding a "bus" to LEO, then larger rockets are the clear winners. If this were not so, then SpaceX would surely have resurrected a Falcon 1 type rocket instead of pressing on to Starship, which will be able to launch hundreds of small satellites far far cheaper than a fleet of smaller launchers.
