Codraroll Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 (edited) All engines shining in a pretty pattern like the LEDs in a flashlight. This might go as intended! But edit: My scrub prediction was wrong.

JoeSchmuckatelli Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Good RUD (not the nominal result desired) But if you had to RUD, no one can complain about that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrandedonEarth Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 There were some odd occasional puffs towards the end of the burn before the big puff. It does not look good atm. They suspect it’s lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codraroll Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 That last glimpse we got of the Ship might have been its explosion. Wonder why that happened. It might have meant things weren't exactly as nominal as they seemed throughout the launch, separation, and second stage burn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minmus Taster Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Looks like FTS got it, maybe it was tumbling or off course? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikegarrison Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Hmm. I was busy playing BG3 and forgot this was going to happen. I tuned in, and the second stage was burning. But they said the first stage was destroyed? And then, well, they lost contact with the second stage and said it appeared as if the FTS had activated. That seems like a pretty serious issue -- at that point in the profile shouldn't the FTS be safed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the engines seemed to vanish into the haze, so maybe they shut down at that point. Then, of course FTS took over. Insufficient autogenous pressurization? 1 minute ago, cubinator said: It looked like something maybe happened right at shutdown of the second stage. I think it shutdown earlier than expected Edited November 18, 2023 by StrandedonEarth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
