We're excited for today's launch, supporting the GOES-U mission with advanced Fine and Coarse Sun Sensors for precise sun angle detection. GOES-U will improve weather observation, especially important during extreme events linked to #climatechange. Redwire has proudly supported GOES-R, S, T, and now U! #SpaceTech #WeatherMonitoring 📷 cred: SpaceX

🚀 SpaceX's Booster 9 has successfully completed its second static fire test, marking an important milestone towards the second integrated test flight. After undergoing a spin prime test and thorough inspection, the Super Heavy booster ignited its Raptor engines for a full-duration static fire of approximately 5 seconds. Although it is yet to be confirmed if all 33 engines were ignited, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has declared the static fire a success. You can watch the impressive static fire in action at the link below: Watch Super Heavy Booster 9’s second static fire: [https://lnkd.in/gV8PZtGE) Pending positive data and confidence in the booster's performance, Ship 25 may soon join Booster 9 on the launch pad. However, SpaceX still faces challenges, including obtaining approval from the Federal Aviation Authority and addressing ongoing lawsuits from environmental groups. Regardless, the possibility of witnessing a test flight in September is an exciting prospect! If you have any questions or comments, feel free to reach out to me via email at rangle@teslarati.com or on Twitter @RDAnglePhoto.

A counterintuitive result: partially reusable SuperHeavy/Starship can get same price per kilo as fully reusable one IF an expendable Starship can get 40 ton dry mass: SpaceX should explore a weight-optimized, expendable Starship upper stage. https://lnkd.in/egwDRsNF This is because of two reasons: 1.)a 40 ton expendable Starship compared to a 120 ton reusable one means you get 80 tons extra payload, and 2.)making the first stage reusable is more important because, like with the Falcon 9, the first stage makes up 2/3rds of the cost anyway.
SpaceX should explore a weight-optimized, expendable Starship upper stage.

#spacex just concluded a mostly-successful static fire test of its #starship Super Heavy Booster 9. #spacex has created a radically rebuilt “stage zero” launch pad, which replaces the concrete under the Booster with a steel plate and a water deluge system intended to reduce or eliminate noise, debris, and damage to the pad. Footage of the booster test showed the deluge and Super Heavy Booster combined to create immense clouds of steam, with both the pad and the booster appearing to remain in reasonably good repair. SpaceX tested the engines for 2.7 seconds, down from the planned 5-second test duration. Four of the engines shut down prematurely. #spacex #starship #elonmusk #spaceexploration #spacetechnology #rocketlaunch #aerospaceengineering #engineering #trendingpost #innovation #scienceandtechnology #engineeringmarvels #launchpad #avgeeks #aviationdaily #sonicboom

Despite the dramatic end, SpaceX's recent Starship test flight showcased several significant achievements. 💥🚀 The successful ignition and full-duration burn of all 33 Raptor engines marked a milestone for the Super Heavy Booster. 🔥 The separation between the Starship upper stage and Super Heavy proceeded smoothly, demonstrating a new hot staging technique for vehicles of this scale. Additionally, the upper stage reached impressive altitudes and speeds, almost completing its planned burn. 💨 Even though telemetry was lost near the end, the team executed a safe command destruct, showcasing robust safety protocols. 📡 Despite the setbacks, these successes highlight progress and valuable data for space exploration. 📈 #SpaceX #Starship #spaceexploration #spacetech

What does the EMSi spacesuit in-orbit test involve? 🔭 Inside the SpaceX's Crew Dragon, EMSi will be tested in its Muscle monitoring configuration: 1. The innovative fabric composing EMSi will be tested for comfort, antibacterial properties, and wearability; 2. The flexometers will adaptively detect every movement made by the astronaut, from the upper to lower limbs; 3. The ECU (Electrical Control Unit) will record and store all data collected by the sensors, crucial for the future development of the EMSi's AI algorithm.

Starship’s Flight-4 is imminent. The goal this time is to have Starship make it through atmospheric heating and soft land on ocean. Making a 100% rapidly reusable rocket that can launch >150 mt to low Earth orbit will bring down cost of launch down to hundreds of dollars per Kg of payload opening new use cases for space technology. SpaceX , like always, has been transparent about what worked and did not in Flight-3. This article summarizes it well and puts in perspective the stakes involved. Past few months have been hectic preparing for this. Time to take the leap. #SpaceX #Rockets #Starship #Space

SpaceX tested out Starship Booster catch loads. The tower’s chopsticks will close in on a landing booster. The test emulated Initial contact loads on the tank side walls from the catch. Catching a booster weighing hundreds of tons using a tower will be a first when that happens! Once landed, the booster will be stacked on the launch mount by the tower. The design intent is to do no refurbishment but re-fuel and relaunch from the mount. Figuring out rapid reusability is going to be exciting. #spacex #rockets #spacetechnology https://lnkd.in/gPJUw6cB?
