sevenperforce Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Just now, Cheif Operations Director said: Yes but they would have the data from the failure and already verified LES meaning after DM-1 assuming success the crew may fly sooner than normal. NASA would not put crew on a vehicle that had not demonstrated docking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok let me explain this. In our schedule is goes DM-1, In flight Abort, Crew flies. My point is that if DM-1 explodes AND the LES works data is gained and the In flight abort has already been done. So then the New DM-1 we will call it DM-A will fly with improvements verifying all the systems then the crew flies. 1 minute ago, Mad Rocket Scientist said: But how many football fields tall is the Falcon 9? Ahh yes a classic unit of measurement in the American Documentary world. The colosseum was X football fields wide, the moon is Z football field wise blah blah blah! Football fields... HA!

If the situation were close enough to those they intended to test under, I can see it. But it's likely they'll want to do a test at Max-Q anyway.

I suppose, the economic benefit would be in extra flight data from DM-1 ( this flight) Instantaneous launch window, good grief we all know were this goes.

Not quite, they need to test the abort specifically at Max Q, as that’s the most difficult time to have an abort. If it “just happens” at another point in the flight, they don’t get that data.
