Spaceception Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Since it's supposed to be launching around 3 or so, if they abort, will they have time to recycle and try again before 5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sevenperforce Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 9 minutes ago, RCgothic said: Is SN8 going to be the largest single stage rocket ever launched? Suspect it might be. Good question. I suspect it is not but I am not sure. Saturn V was flown all-up from the beginning, rather than using dummy upper stages, but I'm not sure about Saturn I. [does some quick research] The first four Saturn I test flights used dummy upper stages and made it up to an apogee of 167 km. The S-I first stage had an empty mass of 45 tonnes and a gross mass of 433 tonnes, but was flown with a dummy payload massing in the neighborhood of 86 tonnes, for a total launch mass of 519 tonnes. Technically, three Raptors at full thrust could lift up to 673 tonnes off the ground, but since they will probably want to have a higher TWR at launch, it will probably have a lower propellant load. At a TWR of 1.5 it would have a gross liftoff mass of 449 tonnes which would make it lighter than the S-I test launches. At a TWR of around 1.25 it would have a gross liftoff mass of 538 tonnes which would make it heavier than the S-I test launches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceception Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 It's scared of the landing. The clock is paused, they're looking for a new T-0. So not scrubbed for good today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
