tater Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 1.0 is LV agnostic. 2.0 is agnostic between NG and SS. 3.0 is SS only—or with a more normal fairing (non-flush) for NG as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musk is talking about a 19m diameter scale up of SS. Imagine the payloads. Like a scaled up JWST that unfolded to even larger; 40 to 50m mirror array? Or the Life 4.0 inflatable at 35m+ diameter?

tater Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 NRP story mentions the BO station has artificial gravity. Quote Robyn Gatens, director of the International Space Station... Gatens says one piece of technology that is being developed at Blue Origin is a big rotating space station that, when finished, would have artificial gravity. For long trips in space, the lack of gravity is a main issue for the human body, causing bone-loss and other health issues. "If you could recreate that in space, that will be very beneficial," Gatens said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the leftmost docking port side position, it's easy to repeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceception Posted Thursday at 06:42 PM Share Posted Thursday at 06:42 PM So they'll connect to the ISS long enough to do checkouts, but are aiming to separate as soon as possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds to me like it’s more than just checkouts, more like learning the ropes of space station operation. All that’s changed is the timeline is a little shorter. I guess they realized it wouldn’t take as long as originally envisioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
