RCgothic Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) Something I haven't seen mentioned yet that was discussed in this article: https://www.teslarati.com/spacex-starship-sn5-raptor-test-schedule/amp/?__twitter_impression=true SN5's proof test fill was conducted exceptionally quickly. It's an extremely quick propellant load through a quick disconnect port. Also some beauty shots of GPS-III landing: Edited July 6, 2020 by RCgothic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceception Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 How long did it take the mid-bay to be built? If it wasn't too long, could we expect Superheavy construction to start before the end of summer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect the first task for the high bay will be stacking a fairing on top of SN6 for high altitude testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if I remember correctly it's meant to do a 2km hop, which will require the fairing. However, it's possible that if SN5 survives its 150m hop, they'll give it a fairing for the 2km hop and let SN6 do the first 20km bellyflop.

StrandedonEarth Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Remember, all dates concerning Starship are "aspirational." Which is why there are so many cancelled road closures. But hey, if the static fire goes well, I see no reason they couldn't try flying two days later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geonovast Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I was hoping for a Saturday flight! I'll be visiting family (and not the one that hates SpaceX), hopefully they'll want to watch it with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikegarrison Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 The Air Force is big into weather. I knew a guy who was a Special Operations Weatherman. Part of his job was (potentially) to infiltrate behind enemy lines and get on-the-ground weather data for strike forces and special ops.
