Starship SN5 finally hopped, 150m + horizontal translation from one
side of Hoppy to the other. URL:https://www.teslarati.com/spacex-starship-sn5-hop-debut-success-mars/ That article has a link to LabPadre's camera 1, with the appropriate delta-T. The direct link at URL:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QbM7Vsz3kg will have enough of the stream to watch for several more hours , but their channel has several good excerpts from different cameras. Like discussion elsewhere of how much playing time is in a 3-hour football broadcast, the live stream runs about 12 hours ... and the flight about 50s. URL:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYAi2JJItgY from iGadgetPro has a side-by-side from EverydayAstronaut and BocaChicaGal. The landing legs look like little nibs, visible in the EA shot just before the clouds obscure the view, and also visible in LabPadre's Camera 3 view (wider view, so less detail). An animation from Elon's reveal of SN4's bottom is part of the iGadget footage. SpaceX's drone and thrust-structure clip shows the legs deploying quite clearly. URL:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1HA9LlFNM0&feature=youtu.be A big chunk of something departed the launch stand at the same time as SN5, and there seemed to be some extraneous flame around the Raptor piping as the descent view began, but everything looks pretty good otherwise. Will SN5 see more action before SN8 is ready? Not clear, but we can expect a thorough inspection if not a tear-down before anything else happens. (SN6 may already be a hanger queen.) /dps -- Maybe C282Y is simply one of the hangers-on, a groupie following a future guitar god of the human genome: an allele with undiscovered virtuosity, currently soloing in obscurity in Mom's garage.

on 8/4/2020, Snidely supposed :
Will SN5 see more action before SN8 is ready? Not clear, but we can expect a thorough inspection if not a tear-down before anything else happens. (SN6 may already be a hanger queen.) I was definitely pessimistic about that. SN5 expected to refly, SN6 already on the pad, both expected to make multiple flights before SN8 tries skydiving. It looks really wierd to see these birds being transported vertically. Kind of like giant chess pieces.

Snidely formulated the question :

Got that part way wrong. SN6 has joined the "flight proven" club. /dps -- Trust, but verify. |

11:25:38 AM and has now fixed the subject line. Snidely formulated the question : Starship SN5 finally hopped, 150m + horizontal translation from one side of Hoppy to the other.

Snidely submitted this idea :
Got that part way wrong. SN6 has joined the "flight proven" club. Watching URL:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-3DRpakVB0 with the legs being removed and SN6 being lifted onto the transporter, I have the following questions: 1) When placed on the pipestands, are the pipestands at hardpoints, or just on the thrust structure's outer ring? 2) When placed on the transporter's stand, it looked like the attachments were at the same points the legs had been. Am I seeing this correctly? And this stand will remain with SN6 at the build site, no? The videos of SN6's legs being attached on the test/launch stand seemed to have the legs and the stand attached at different points, but those videos have expired so I can't double check. /dps -- Rule #0: Don't be on fire. In case of fire, exit the building before tweeting about it. (Sighting reported by Adam F) |
