Brotoro Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 MECO. Stage 2 good. Interesting exhaust streaming past first stage as the grid fins deploy. Are they doing the first stage turnaround differently (slowly) nowadays? First stage entry burn good. First stage is on the ship! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delay Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 How long until expected docking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A hour and 50 minutes, the stream started a while ago but well, dockings are either failed or boring (hell, most problems with docking are boring as well usually) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubinator Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I kinda miss the detailed navigational data I've seen on some Russian docking streams. I like to see vx, vy, vz, cm/s and stuff capture! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beccab Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 (edited) S20 fairing hatch is closed, the pad is almost clear and Mary received the notice. The closure only starts in 3 hours, but it looks like they could finally static fire it this time! We don't know if it will be a 6 or 3 engines SF (all are installed), but there are engineering concerns over wether the suborbital stand can survive the thrust of 6 Raptors at full power of which three are Rvacs and if the risk is worth the additional certification of firing all together at sea level. If they do fire 6 instead of separate 3 SL and 3 Rvacs that means they probably consider S21 having enough progress to put S20 at risk Edited November 12, 2021 by Beccab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
