What would a LF2 (Liquid Fluorine) exhaust plume look like?
kerbiloid replied to KeaKaka's topic in Science & Spaceflight
It's a restartable upper stage engine. Density and storability on the way to GSO. Also, Glushko was disliking LH2 due to its poor exploitation properties. -

Tobacco industry is more first candidate to cut that powerplants. Though, they are cutting the latter.

https://www.interfax.ru/russia/916940 Luna-25 has registered a micrometeoroid hit with the PmL tool, which is for meqasuring the levitatinng dust and plasma at the lunar surface. The neutronic & gamma spectrometer (H)ADRON-LR has measured the lunar ground spectrum. The ionic energy-mass analyzer ARIES-L has measured the near-polar lunar ionosphere and defined optimal parameters to measure more. The stereo photos from two cameras have allowed to bind the view to the 3d model of the lunar landscape. -

Wan Hu. Watch Strange Angel for video. All solid-fuel ICBM are gimballed. It's easier, due to the absence of fuel pumps. They are aborted in the end of burning, by pyrotechnicaly opening windows at the rocket stage top. Solid SLBM like Trident even don't know, where they are, on equator, or at North Pole. They just auto-adjust. *** The Shuttle had very bad for humans lateral position of the SRB, with tops above the lateral ship, which made them a killer feature. In case of classic scheme, they are just impractical fore anything but emergency launch (like ICBM and SLBM), and they are more expensive. The only sense in using them is feeding your military rocket manufacturers.

In any case, when somebody has to save resources, he usually starts from cutting the luxuries.

The Moon is on epicycloid orbit around Luna-25, as well. The Sun around the Earth, btw, too. Luna-25 is primary epicycloid satellite, the Moon is the secondary one. Combination of two nested epicycloids makes the Moon orbit look elliptic. [Snip] https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=56165.0 Jupiter is planned for Zeus, why go there before? [Snip] P.S. Meanwhile, the main goal of Luna-25 has been already achieved. Modified 1F has reached LLO, performing several ignitions, engaging all engines, after decades of waiting. If it successfully lands, it will be a splendid bonus. It's important, that 1F doesn't have a pressurized command pod, its electronics is vacuumproof. This makes it potentially long-term in space. -

I'm just recalling the Nauka docking. On Luna-25 docking to the Moon Moon berthing to Luna-25 everything may happen, when the Moon is orbiting along the crazy epicycloid. -

They call it "capacitor". Apply voltage and have a fun. They may discretly co-exist at the same place of space. Odd picoseconds - one, even picoseconds - another one, like flashing. This theory also explains, how do the things disappear in your house to later reappear in unexpected places. -
Btw, the tobacco plantation requires water, fertilizer, fuel, other sources of CO2, and its usage is a pure air carbonization itself. If the things are that bad, why tobacco is still farmed? Why no clean and loud voices from the ecoactivists? Didn't the passive smoking steal a part of Greta's childhood? All these resources could be used for food growing, it's a food crysis in the world, don't they know?
