Turns out it was part of an experiment: Potentially a nice step forward to limit the spread of N2O4/UDMH in the wild and/or close to inhabited area.

Ultimate Steve Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 That dragon clone crew capsule is supposed to launch sometime early this month on a long March 5b. It will be encased in a fairing and won't have a LES for this mission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimate Steve Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 So, two hours from now? I assume there won't be a stream, but I know they sometimes stream the launches of very important missions. I don't know if this counts as very important, but it wouldn't hurt to ask if there is a stream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotius Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 "Some problem" they say. It is a very broad term. It could: 1. Fail to inflate. 2. Inflate. Then go 'pop'. 3. Lose stability, flip in the air stream and disintegrate. 4. Burn during re-entry. 5. Lithobrake with prejudice. 6. Veer off course and land several kilometers away from LZ. Now recovery teams need to find it in the bushes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
