Just watched in the DSN now app and found this : Could they be preparing for the EM1 mission ?
-
-
Depends on how much fuel is left. If there is like nothing, it makes a short hop and then burns out. If there is to much, well, going to water I guess
-
Pretty good programming with adaptability(?)
-
Hm, would the S1 have managed the transition from a water trajectory to the one to the pad if it spins? Can the engines counteract it effectivly ? Single Engine burn, so no roll control
-
And it looked like the problem was only regarding landing phase, so it may be not even a problem for normal launches
-
Well "normal" landing , just not in the right spot
-
The "ring" or whatever
-
After a second look on the video of stage 1, the two grid fins in view tried to correct the roll the right way. Question is now: what did the other two fins that time and why has the S1 started rolling at all? Could it be because of strong winds?
-
oh man, I could feel the wobble of the first stage from my ksp "landings" I think the stage 1 decided it couldn't make it safely to land and went into water for safety of ground builds
-
-
Lets look if the clouds like me today, maybe I can get pictures of the burn
-
They have no coverage of downlink of the second stage over the ocean, so no video
-
oh man , what a beautiful landing

In the last few seconds of the video, is the second stage (the middle booster) tipping to the left? Does not look good (play at 0.25x speed) -
Small question: Is there even a way of drilling a hole in Space (on the ISS)? I know they have "screwdrivers" for EVA's, but is there a suitable drill head for that ?
-
There are structural enhancements in the FH core, which make it possible to handle the boosters. These are adding weight to the core and if you aren't flying a Falcon Heavy, you would just lose performance, payload mass and therefore money. So indirect yes
-
First few pictures I took yesterday with my old telescope I've got years ago: First is Jupiter. You can see some cloud bands of you look closely Saturn. A bit blurry, but the rings are clearly visible:
-
When the exposure time is too high , even a half moon apears as a whole. Would be possible if you want to see the engine
-
Was that bright spot in the back the moon ?
-
Oh come on , right as the satellite got into view , they switch cams
-
Oooh , mr. Steven cams
-
Regarding the legs: no folding up on this one
-
I think the light, which comes from the camera, reflected from the foil at the top of the engine
