  • SpaceX's uncrewed spacecraft Starship, developed to carry astronauts to the moon and beyond, was presumed to have failed in space minutes after lifting off on September 18th in its second test, after its first attempt ended in an explosion in April.
    Here is a side-by-side comparison of both flights.

      @@atvrider391 Well they would qualify as failures yes as they were not planned. Also on IFT1 you had multiple engine failures, TVC failure, FTS failure and launchpad failures etc so even on tonys metrics, this was a huge success. Can't wait to see how IFT3 goes and if they can bring booster to soft landing to water. Starship making through atmosphere on first try seems bit unlikely as tiles keep falling off still but - I wouldnt bet on it as i didn't expect hot staging to go as smoothly as it did

      Agreed. One major issue is launchpad. It's not sufficient and can't be upgraded to re-use quickly like they expected. The production pace is great now. They can have ship and booster for testing every two months. I hope they will have a 100% successful launch at the 4th or the 5th IFT.
      They must re-design the launchpad and upgraded it properly for testing and launching.

      The next flight will be before Christmas (depending on the FAA). That one will be fully successful. In late Feb, early March the real test of Starship will occur. The RTLS mission 1 Booster returns & is caught by the copsticks ....Strarship retruns & lands on pad at Starbase. Then both vehicles are refurbished and reflown again. Proving the concept. At that point the manned version goes full steam ahead. First manned flight 1 yr from now. Dear Moon in 18 months. If we don't have World War III, Mars by the end of the decade. What was once science fiction will become reality. I hope I will still be alive to see it.

      The first one used the old raptor engine, old hardware design(TVC, pipe, wiring, etc). So, the weight of both Starship and Booster was higher. The thrust power of engines was lower.
      Sadly, booster can't re-ignite and lost all engines for return. I believe they trigged FTS on booster as well. Starship looked fine when they can burn almost propellant but not sure why they lost the control and had to use FTS.

      Looking back at IFT-1 through the lens of IFT-2, IFT-1 looks like a failure. Barely getting off the pad and immediately losing control of the rocket, destroying the launch pad, and on top of it all the failure of the FTS to do its job definitely are things that should not have happened and made the IFT-1 launch incredibly dangerous and borderline reckless. IFT-2 was completely safe: they were in control of the rocket all the way through, and when they lost control of each stage, the FTS worked as designed. Plus the pad is intact. IFT-1 got the basics wrong while IFT-2 actually revealed either design or operational flaws that need to be tweaked. IFT-2 wasn't a success but it wasn't a failure: it was somewhere in between. IFT-3 I don't think they'll get to Hawaii, but they will make it to re-entry.

      Also, B7 did not make it far enough into its programmed flight profile, Per Elon.
      Basically the FC knew it wasn’t high enough for staging, so it literally wouldn’t allow it to separate. Resulting in the spinning stack.
      Separation events, as well as others, are not based off a countdown like it may suggest. Instead, certain events are programmed to happen, if and only if, the preceding programs are completed, and the flight profile has reached a certain performance/stage in the mission.

To see what they implement and how quickly to address the things that went wrong. While it may not have been a complete success, this was by no means a failure. The whole reason for these tests is for things to go wrong now, so they can design and engineer a fix.
    -
    Many of the engines are still early prototype engines as well. A channel I follow has some excellent videos following SpaceX's progress with some great drone footage and images. The channel discussed how the numbers on the engines in this Booster were just starting to break 100 I think and they have Raptors engines in the 300s or almost 400s? I'm not sure of the exact number. As I understand, however, the latest engines off the line have benefited from manufacturing improvements and such. This is where I really respect the infrastructure SpaceX is building for keeping a steady production. Each test now, even if not a complete success, is never a failure if they learn and improve from it. That high production allows them to quickly send arrange the next test flight.

    Oh, and I am VERY curious to see the drone footage or images of the launch pad and see how it has held up. The water deluge system was awesome. Does this mean the launch pad gets a steam clean during every launch?

    At 3:07, the time index whatever, is way too low, MECO, stage separation should have occurred at 100km or 63 miles above sea level. Traveling 5 times the speed of sound at 48 miles above sea level in the mesosphere, a layer extending from approximately 30 to 50 miles (50 to 85 km) above the surface, ripped the top off of the booster like an exploding beer keg, pop. It may have survived if separation had happened above 70 miles up.

    To someone who knows nothing about how rockets are developed, this still looks like a failure. First stage destroyed, second stage not communicating. But to someone who knows a little something about the development of orbital-class rockets - especially the early ones whose development model SpaceX is following - this is an incredibly optimistic launch.
    They got through staging and the second stage made it into space before they lost contact! That's huge! All 33 fist-stage engines stayed lit until they were commanded to shut off! That's even bigger! To put it into perspective: this is way further than the N-1 ever got, and it's the only rocket that's had a similar number of first-stage engines.

      @sashashokolova3369 10 місяців тому +2

      It's the rocket equation, but just think of it this way... when fully fueled MOST of the engines are just canceling out the force of gravity. Only the 'extras' get it to accelerate up. To simplify, lets say you had a rocket with 20 engines, but at full load, 15 are needed just to give thrust equal to weight. So you have 5 'engine-ups' of force pushing up. If you lose 3, now you only have 2 'engine-ups' of force... so a Rocket with 17 engines burning has 85% of the engines going, BUT.... only has 40% of the acceleration up as a rocket with all 20 going.

    • @rizizum
      @rizizum 10 місяців тому

      Cause you have to fight a constant number, gravity. Just imagine using 1 engine, you wouldn't get 1/33 of the speed, you'd get 0 speed cause you can't even overcome gravity. The force you need to produce has to be higher than 1g to go up. Let's say all you have 20 engines and together they produce 2g of acceleration, you'll be going up with an acceleration of 1g. If you lose 1/4 of them you'll have 15 engines and 1.5g, going up with an acceleration of 0.5g, you basically lost half of your acceleration by losing a fourth of your engines. And if you lose a half of them you can't even go up

    In the future when Starship is launching weekly and reliably, do you think anyone is gonna give a flying fuck if it failed a few times in the beginning vs having a near perfect launch record? There gonna get to the same point anyway and people will forget about these early launches, just like with the Falcon 9. I'd rather fly on a perfectly reliable rocket that failed a few times at the start, then a perfectly reliable rocket that has never failed, and thus, has probably never had its failure modes properly tested and fixed.

    2 launches, two failures that never made it to orbit. That's not SpaceX. The first failure was the booster that doomed the Starship, but this second attempt failure fell squarely on Starship. I fully expected orbit and splash down off Hawaii.
    SpaceX is in danger of failing at wresting the SLS funding away from failed primes Boeing and Northrop Grumman. Yes, Elon's been given $5B as a "backup" to any failure of Boeing & Northrop Grumman while ULA has muddied the funding waters to hide the nearly $93B in "2025 dollars" language and how much of that has gone down the SLS end of the sewer hose, but It's beginning to look like Elon may have already spent the $5B without getting to orbit...

      Do you even know what you are looking at? A rocket doesn't do stuff just because it wants to. A rocket will not just do stage seperation until it reached a very specific speed and altitude. IFT-1 never got there, because it was flying waaaay slower. But they wanted to see how far it could get, so they let it fly (and the flight termination system wasn't working properly) as far as they could. Then it was blown up. IFT-2 got to stage seperation, it did it's flip manouver, it re-lit it's engines and only then it got into trouble and it blew up. But it wouldn't have been terminated (or exploded as you stated) for longer, if they let it fly as long as IFT-1 without doing stage seperation. So you can't compare the times of when they blew up at all, they were under completely different circumstances and were terminated because of different reasons.

      Once they reach their target speed (they were very close before the Starship RUD), they shot down the engines and burn no propellant at all. Starship coasts around the earth and comes back into the atmosphere near Hawaii. Because it flies around the earth outside of (almost all of) the atmosphere, it doesn't really slow down, and doesn't need to keep it's engines going. Satellites in orbit stay up for years or even decades without constantly using propellant... a stable orbit means it is essentially in permanent free-fall, falling around the Earth. Starship almost reached those speeds today :)
