New booster reuse record set this morning
SpaceX sets new booster reuse mark with Starlink launch by Jeff Foust ? March 14, 2021 https://spacenews.com/spacex-sets-ne...with-starlink- launch/ That's 9 launches and landings for booster number B1051. We're coming up on 10 launches and landings for this booster. That's something that critics said would never happen. Looks set to happen this year. Jeff -- All opinions posted by me on Usenet News are mine, and mine alone.

Except for the astronomers who are trying to do wide-field, deep, sensitive surveys and will have to deal with multiple interfering constellations at various altitudes, when even a single massive constellation is a big pain for them. |

In article , says... As I recall, their record is of roughly 1 month turn around, and that is pretty amazing. But it doesn't show that all landings result in such quick/inexpensive turn arounds. (though I am pretty sure they are learning about what makes a flight that allows quick turn around and what causes more refurb is getting more and more known). But do note that the time between launches only hints at how long it takes to turn around a booster. We don't really know the actual effort it takes. Well the current record is SN10 at about 6 minutes *snicker*. Dave |

However, at time of first re-use, the fan club were claiing that Elon had proven each core could be re-used 10 times. This is what I was debating. I was also debating that we don't know the costs of turning around, and I am glad you agree this is still the case. Actually there are several companies that have deployed, or plan to deploy, LEO constellations. Competition is a good thing. If you have to deploy thousands of satellites, irrespective of costs, who can have launch frequency capability that SpaceX has? And if you consider costs, who can afford to launch a LEO constellation on "legacy" non reusable rockets? Unless Blue Origin gets into high launch frequency, SpaceX is the only kid in town doing it, and they are busy launching their own. Blue Origin plans to lanuch THEIR own. /dps -- "Inviting people to laugh with you while you are laughing at yourself is a good thing to do, You may be a fool but you're the fool in charge." -- Carl Reiner |
