Pretty sure I’m conflating with an F9 issue where hydraulic fluid froze (not water) at very high altitude. Before going all electric in F9. 2017?

darthgently Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I’m not sure what thread to put this in. This is what you get when an intern whose tried to keep up with successive midnight scrubs handles your socials? F9 looks like the Firefly Blue Ghost launch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen here and there some speculation, like less air traffic in the booster LZ area but that just doesn’t seem persuasive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthgently Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) Friday does look much clearer and calmer. But they should probably just send the dang thing. You can’t keep momentum up if you don’t gain momentum Edited January 16 by darthgently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t keep momentum up if you don’t gain momentum That said, any new rocket in 2025 (or 2024, 23, 22, tbh) that does not have launch constraints that include conditions in a landing zone is useless and should not exist.

Exactly. Landing Platform #1 aka Jacklyn is currently at 28.01824, -74.1329 Winds at launch time at that location forecasted around 14 kn from mostly north. Forecast Friday would be 22 kn. If they want to stick the landing seems better to launch tonight Not sure that is final barge location but has to be close. The vessel left Port Canaveral on the 2nd (!)

darthgently Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) Tug Harvey Stone is only other vessel nearby for many, many miles. Out from Canaveral since the 2nd also. I bet that tug crew really hopes they send the dang thing tonight more than any other ppl on the planet Edited January 16 by darthgently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthgently Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Sea state at LZ does look a little better Friday but wind is worse. But I’m not sure how accurate the app is for sea state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
