Scotius Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Wonder how much damage it did to launch site. Looks like it was literally meters from the tower. I know it's not full "orbital" scale rocket, but still - ouch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire did not last so long, however unsure if tower is safe. All of cabling and lots of tubing is lost. However this was an tiny rocket and an pretty simple launch structure, the flame trench and pad itself should be good so cost of damage is probably less than the price of an rocket.

Wjolcz Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Scott Manley made a video on it. Looks like they will have to replace some stuff, like pipes, near the tower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MinimumSky5 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Is that an unpressurized cargo bay on the side of HTV-7? If it is, what is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple things. The resupply hasn't lifted off yet, so that's one of the previous missions in the image. Also, I'm not seeing any cargo bay in the image, just solar panels, and various bits of spacecraft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
