Gargamel Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Not the flash of the SpaceX streams, but still a great launch. Watching Tim Dodd's live stream, and He was using his mouse to point out things in the 2nd stage interstage. I thought it was a fly that got trapped during assembly.

Those gas tanks looked very familiar...I'm pretty sure I've got one back in the lab! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatastrophicFailure Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Telemetry started going weird right around battery hot swap, right around time the camera feed was lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55delta Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 I was watching the livestream myself, noticing that they never made the call-out for the battery swap and that then the telemetry showed decreasing altitude and increasing speed. I agree, not good prospects. Hope they can afford to the loss of this launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gargamel Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Maybe they'll rethink they're stream names in the future? Cutting off the video before we could see the failure is kinda funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimate Steve Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 4th of July fireworks. I guess it's a replacement for all of the places that aren't doing them because of covid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes then they talked about battery swap they was past Ap. Surprised me a bit as I assumed they both burned to gain speed and to raise attitude at once but they probably just pushed Ap ahead of them Edited July 5, 2020 by magnemoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
