But we did see it return: The unloading was also quite fast, it landed on JRTI which is already back in the sea for the launch of Starlink 4-22 in three days - 16 hours spent in Port Canaveral in total Also: Edited July 14, 2022 by Beccab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeSchmuckatelli Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Hate to say it... but that looks like one of those dealership "Yes, maam... we gotta take out the dash to be able to access the back of the engine manifold before we work on your exhaust springs and Johnson rods... you'd better leave it with us for a few days..." kinda problems.

tater Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Launch time: 1450 GMT (10:50 a.m. EDT)Launch site: SLC-40, Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida SFN showing Starlink 4-25 launching from 39A on the 24th. That seems like a fast turn around from the CRS launch. But yeah, possibly 3 more launches this month. Insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like Rocketlab’s rationale for wanting to re-use boosters. Any cost savings are nice, but it’s more about having the boosters available to keep up with demand… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pthigrivi Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 So it sure looks like some of those engine covers were blown partially if not completely off. I would guess if an engine straight up exploded it would be worse, but thats a lot of force on all those relatively delicate ‘fiddly bits’ on the engine heads. I don’t know how B7 is back in action next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they have plenty of time to inspect these, or send them back to the factory or McGregor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The final stacking happened last week, so by the end of the month we could see the rollout if B7 doesn't take too long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
