B11 static firing test: 33 engines, 50% throttle (estimated), LOX tank 100% filled, LCH4 tank ~20% filled (estimated), 8 sec testing duration. Engine thrust 4125t (metric tons). B11 wet mass at T=0 sec (engine start): 4029t. Upward force on the engine hold down clamps at T=0: 96t. Upward force on the engine hold down clamps at T+8 sec (end of test): 188t. Ocean platforms: When the two oil drilling platforms were sold last year, SpaceX indicated that an improved platform design for Starship had been created.

@wafikiri_ 23 дні тому

I keep wondering why the pez dispenser door was designed to be horizontal instead of vertical. The fore has a series of disadvantages compared to the latter: • Thrust mainly being vertical, the door's horizontal dimension should be as short as possible for as lesser a disruption as possible in the thrust-stressed ship's skin • Many more aligned hinges can be laid out in a vertical than a horizontal door on a vertical-axis cylinder ship, thus reducing the torsional oscillations the door could be subjected to when not closed. • A door's horizontal or vertical orientation is also that of stowed satellites', and the latter would more easily resist thrust along their longest dimension.

@smavtmb2196 24 дні тому

It currently takes a while for SpaceX to line up the chopsticks and booster lift points in order to lift the booster onto the OLM. And that's having ideal conditions. The booster is completely vertical and stable/stationary. To catch a booster. The chopsticks and booster will need to line up perfectly in SECONDS! Not minutes. I don't see how the current setup can pull that off. The setup is too slow and requires perfect accuracy.

@shaung949 24 дні тому

They won't have to worry about aligning as much as there is no risk of the engines hitting the side of the transport stand or OLM.

@smavtmb2196 24 дні тому

@@shaung949Sorry, but that makes no sense. If they don't line it up perfectly. It would cause at minimum serious damage to the grid fins, if not worse. It also depends on how much surface area the chopsticks have for the booster catch arms to hook into. If it's just a small pocket/area then there's a serious risk of missing and all the weight ending up on the grid fins instead. Thats be very bad. However SpaceX has a better chance of catching a booster than a ship. Even Jack of (NSF) has said the current ship lifting points are not going to work for a catch.

@maulcs 24 дні тому

@@smavtmb2196 SpaceX has pulled off miracles before but this catch system is above and beyond. Having to align everything perfectly and catch it on those little nubbins on the side of the booster seems nuts.

@anthonylosego 23 дні тому

@@smavtmb2196 I think the slowness comes from an abundance of caution. Not necessarily because they can't move fast enough. They can always use a crane to take the weight and then realign to learn what didn't quite work right from a catch. Assuming they can catch it at all. I think it's the setting it down part that requires a bit more correct lift point precision. Not the holding part. But they can refine that once they catch it and see what they need to do from a hover.

@shaung949 23 дні тому

@@smavtmb2196 A lot of the delay in lifts is due to having to align the chopsticks absolutely vertical over the stand or olm so it lifts perfectly vertical. If the chopsticks are not 100% in alignment you risk the booster swinging and hitting the engines when the stabilizers retract. When catching there is nothing to hit the engines on so less of a need for perfect alignment. Putting it down after is where you need the fine control again.

@tracy2928 24 дні тому

Expecting something of this magnitude to go from concept to full production in one go feels a bit naive. It's in development and they are moving at neck-break speed. Simply look at Elons other ventures and successes for guidance, IMO.

@knowledgeisgood9645 24 дні тому

The arms will not really move very much. The booster will glide in until it hits the arms. The virtual tower is just that - virtual. It means it will be computers calculating where the booster is in relation to fixed points (any stable surface near the landing site). If it follows the projected path all is well. If not, they have to try again.

Thanks for yet another great update! Regarding the tower catches... I'm curious whether SpaceX might use a very cut down version of the booster (something more like the top part of the booster but perhaps with a power system like a drone) to practice the actual catch / landing before landing a whole booster on it. To me to simply confirm that they can land a booster with the same level of control as what is required for landing on the chopsticks feels like it is missing the actual "landing it on the catch mechanism" bit. Anyone else got thoughts on this?

@just_archan 24 дні тому

@knowledgeisgood9645 24 дні тому

The tower has little to do with things above the lifting points on the booster and ship. Those can be placed lower down. What has likely to be moved is the Ship QD because the filling lines can't go any lower. We have not seen any signs of additional tower sections. For now the tower hight does not need to be changed. It is also part of the Environmental Studies that were approved. Changing it could cause problems.
