>Gatekeeping power sources with the same tired fallacies against intermittent power and the cost of electricity in places where literally everything is expensive while ignoring actual metrics e.g. LCOE
Deranged.
>Raptor and traditional chemical rockets will do 99% of what we need
That's because 99% of near future requirements are related to the Earth, Moon and Mars, however most of the solar system is largely inaccessible with chemical due to the high dV requirement outside flyby missions and essentially inaccessible with nuclear due to the inherently high cost. Luckily for everyone you have no sway in the industry otherwise your nuclear power only autism would hurt the advancement of spaceflight and space colonization. Cheap power is essential.
>Electric propulsion is a waste of time outside of niche station keeping uses.
Tell that to SpaceX/Starlink or all of the probes which now use electric propulsion. You want high thrust burns when you're stuck deep within a gravity well such as LEO, otherwise the Oberth effect gains are small and you're decreasing the total dV because specific impulse is directly proportional to thrust, provided you're throwing reaction mass from the spacecraft.

Radiation is a meme but once again I remind you that NASA isn't seriously considering a EMVE transfer because the delta-v required to do this jumps considerably each window and it's high even for nuclear so the spacecraft would probably have less shielding and an low payload. Regardless the lowest radiation dose would probably be a 4 month conjunction transit with the rest of the time spent in an regolith covered structure.

They're just taking the idea of using a linear accelerator as a first stage (which has been around since forever) and compacting it down into a giant fidget spinner. It's more practical in that you don't need to run twenty kilometers of track up the side of Mt McKinley but less practical in terms of the lateral g-forces the payload needs to be built for. The places were it would really shine are suborbital; either launching payloads that would normally end up on more expensive sounding rockets or as artillery for flinging small nuclear payloads.

It's hard but it's not THAT hard. A small, pressure-fed hypergolic engine has an very small number of parts for a rocket engine. It's just a few valves and those can take some pretty massive g-loads.

It's just that they're trying to overcome this huge, bizarre engineering problem just so they can replicate what Rocket Lab already does on a normal launch day.

I'm surprised they made it this far, and at this point maturing their system seems remotely possible. It's absolutely retarded though to build this silly ground infrastructure to launch a rocket that might be slightly smaller and not even single stage.

If you don't care about putting on a second stage or getting to orbit, a spin launch system could be used to fling a payload about as far as it could go on an medium range ballistic missile. Spin launch could be useful for throwing sounding rocket payloads. Sounding rockets are just small ballistic missiles intended to go mostly up instead of sideways. So, spin launch could be useful as long range artillery.

It's a dumb idea, but it's also the sort of thing that someone in DARPA would throw a few million dollars at "to investigate capabilities." Spin launch is a fairly dumb idea in search of an even dumber customer.

The GSE structure will scrap large parts of itself on the tiniest timing error.
The rocket, upon release from the spin-arm, will be traveling ~7333 feet/sec according to their site. The airlock section of the full-scale installation looks ~150 feet long. This gives us a ~20 millisecond traversal time through the airlock. In that 20 milliseconds, the hold-down clamps for the rocket need to release, the vacuum-side airlock hatch needs to open, then close again behind the rocket, then the atmosphere-side needs to open before the rocket hits it.
So just some timing-related failure modes:

>The clamps fail or their timing is off
Most of the facility is scrapped
>Hatch #1 fails to open on time
Most of the facility is scrapped
>Hatch #1 fails to close on time
Potential (severe) damage to the spin arm from sudden atmospheric resistance, possibly facility-scrapping if it disintegrates. At best, launch schedule paused while they bring the chamber back to vacuum.
>Hatch #2 fails to open on time
The airlock section, at minimum, is scrapped.

This isn't getting into any of the other potential problems with actual in-practice cost-effectiveness, or market restrictions due to specialized payload requirements. Spinlaunch on Earth is retarded.
Hilariously, their stated 7333 ft/s figure is nearly Lunar escape velocity. A scaled-down spin arm assembly could be a good way to yeet bundles of titanium ingots into LLO if you had a little cold-gas thruster harness on each one to account for error.

Im planing to cut this sheets to make the chasis and shielding as well. those are 0.125 inches thick, and cost about $46 each. I was the guy who wanted to build and launch one months ago. Its my first one, so i want it to transmit info like speed, temperature, etc. Probably to last a couple of months minimum. I read LEO radiation is not that strong so i dont think i need that much of protection, but i wonder what should i do if for example the raspi freezes or shuts down due to a unavoidable SEU.

If you have the mass budget, duplicate your electronics. There's good reasons why a lot of satellites have triple redundant systems handling things by majority vote.

That said, as long as you're not yeeting it into an environment like the van allen belts and you're only interested in a few months of lifespan I wouldn't see radiation being an overwhelming issue. Radiation probably will kill it at some point since you're not using official space-rated electronics, but you just use that knowledge to estimate what the overall lifespan will probably be and plan the mission around that.

One disadvantage of the linear accelerator is material requirements. A rotary accelerator capable of putting ~100 kg into LLO could probably have all its components delivered by a handful of cargo Starships.
It's an early-days solution, quickly rendered obsolete, but potentially a valuable part of initial infrastructure building.

Their satellites feature a 10ft lens with newly developed mechanical shutter that is the fastest and most robust in the history of spysats. Not only can it make images at 15 frames per second, but it is also rated for 300,000 actuations. The detector format employs a mosaic of 189 16-megapixel silicon detectors arranged on 21 "rafts" to provide a total of about 3.2 gigapixels. From 400km it can image objects down to 1cm using multispectral image layering.

In short, the Chinese might just be able to take a picture of your dick from space. Only just.

Give me a real source like the Mars DRA, you've only moved the goal posts to that after we discussed Mars transfers far too many times while you performed mental gymnastics trying to come up with a reason why opposition transfers aren't complete fucking trash despite that with the lower delta-v required for a conjunction transfer you could literally encase the transfer vehicle in lead and still land a larger payload on Mars. Do you think most informed spaceflight enthusiasts can't tell exactly what NASA is doing when they pretend a human Mars mission is only possible with some far off propulsion method?
>it requires a delta V that chemical propulsion cannot provide
Once again it's dependent on the transfer window, some years chemical could do EMVE, other years including 2039 it couldn't realistically be done by any propulsion they're considering.

It's by COMPASS Lab which is tasked with coming up mission concepts in a short two week period. If you think there is even a 1% chance of that mission happening you're unbelievably stupid, ignoring that the premise of reduced radiation is false and that SpaceX will beat them to Mars, in 2036 there's an EMVE transit that could be done by chemical and it was plainly ignored so they could create that monstrosity.

The 2039 EMVE opposition plan did not originate from that Compass study. Anon asked for something "real", which the study is part of NASA figuring out how they are going to go about putting feet on Mars then.

You don't seem to understand that NASA has dozens if not hundreds of different studies on the subject, the design reference architecture is the most legitimate but that doesn't mean they actually intend on doing it, otherwise humans would have already been to Mars.
>Not in 450 days.
The study you are referencing is 760 days. I can't tell if you're trolling me or if you're off your medication.
>Isn't that what you have been doing to avoid why NASA wants the shortest possible mission duration?
Not at all, I've already shown why lower mission time doesn't necessarily mean reduced radiation because the dose received once on Mars is less than half of the dose during received during transit. I've also explained why the argument makes no sense because it doesn't adjust for the extra shielding you could take when the round trip delta-v is cut down to 1/3rd.

Which have coalesced around either a NTP or NEP craft and a EMVE opposition transfer.

>The study you are referencing

A single example of the dozens if not hundreds of studies on the subject.

>it doesn't adjust for the extra shielding you could take

If extra shielding in transit and on Mar's surface negates excess radiation exposure then the primary variable is still mission duration.

I searched for "Astra Carta" and found nothing. If this is about space junk near Earth, then it's just another very profitable business opportunity.
If not, then space is like a buffet. Once you get there, there is plenty for everyone. Just don't be a huge fucking dick.

Buy 1 flight from 150 ton capacity Starship, use that extra capacity margin for higher d/V to launch a smaller(100kg?) staged launcher from a commercial provider, use that to launch your 1kg small sat payload.

So effectively a 3 staged launch platform. Total costing probably no more than $60-$70M for the rocket launch.

SLS may someday launch. It's eternally on the test stand now. Starship is real. You've seen down at Boca Chica. We've built the core stage. We have all the engines done, ready to be put on the launch stand. I don't see any launch for SLS, except that they're going to take three incomplete wet dress rehearsals and put them together and try to launch that. It's not that easy in rocketry.

Most of the stream was just some idiots talking to each other in a studio. They showed a single static camera view of the liftoff, so the rocket flew out of view in like 3 seconds, then they sat on that view for a while and then cut to the studio, then they showed a tiny screen within the studio at booster separation but kept the studio itself taking up most of the space while the idiots rambled about whatever. The rest was just a very small view of a CGI representation while the studio continued to take up most of the screen.

If everything goes ok , they need to perform a full wdr (maybe first a dry dress rehersal and then a wdr) , then 1 engine static fire , 3 engine , 8 (interior ring) and then groups of 4 engines in the outer ring .

When all of that happens , Ship 24 needs to perform the same thing : ddr , wdr , 3 engine and then full 6 engine .

After all of that full stack , fuel both ships , see if they maintain pressure/stability etc and then FINALLY , they are prepared for the launch process

Not much about HLS.
>In April 2021, NASA announced the selection of SpaceX to develop the Artemis III lunar lander. The firm-fixed-price contract award value is $2.89 billion. After the award, Blue Origin and Dynetics filed bid protests with GAO, which GAO denied in July 2021.2 Subsequently, in August 2021, Blue Origin filed a complaint with the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, which the court dismissed in November 2021.3 NASA officials reported that a 7-month delay for the HLS contributed to delaying the Artemis III lunar-landing mission from 2024 to no earlier than 2025. The program is reviewing initial schedules from SpaceX, and expects to establish cost and schedule baselines in August 2022.
>Moving the Artemis III mission to no earlier than 2025 provides the program with additional time to work on the lunar lander, but the time frame is still aggressive. We previously found that NASA’s planned pace to develop the HLS was months faster than the average for other spaceflight programs, and a lander is inherently complex because it supports human spaceflight.4 According to NASA, SpaceX’s approach is technically challenging, in part, due to the number of events necessary to execute the mission, but there are mitigating factors. For example, these events will occur in Earth’s orbit, as opposed to lunar orbit where an unexpected event could create a higher risk to loss of mission.

NASA and Boeing primarily focus on spending money. If SLS were $3b instead of $4b, they'd have their budgets cut by $1b. Spend all your budget at once, on one thing, and you *can't* have tests go wrong.

SpaceX is focused on results. Which means "cheap" is on the table, allowing repetitive destructive testing. There's also no congressional hearings if something goes wrong or an incredibly destructive test is done merely to discover limits.

In fact, Elon's autism and oversight would probably be triggered if tests *didn't* go wrong - since that implies they could've been more aggressive.

The upper boundary of Earth's atmosphere is constantly in flux. Safe minimum-energy LEO orbits and ascents really do depend on how active the sun is, because that in turn changes how high you need to be to stay clear of significant atmospheric drag. The ISS reboost might be a little more urgent than normal because of this.

No shit, imagine if that was still NASA's motto.
>But once the urgency of Apollo was gone, Johnson’s decisions had the effect of turning what should have been a vibrant space program into a white-collar jobs program, with many political decisions hinging on continuing employment rather than further progress into space. For example, the Marshall Space Flight Center has from its inception designed rockets, and it has always been important to Alabama politicians to provide it with funding to do so, even though the center has not successfully designed a rocket since the 1970s.

The UR-700 got me thinking about an alt history timeline for my KSP role play save.

1959
>Sergei Korolev dies

1962
>Following Kennedey’s “we choose to go to the moon” speech, the USSR also begins development of their manned lunar programme
>Vladimir Chelomei is appointed to be the main designer for the lunar launcher.

1963
>President Kennedy is killed
>Unlike in our timeline, the US invades Vietnam early. This kills NASA’s budget.

1964
>Apollo is cancelled. NASA is forced to use Gemini spacecraft for their lunar program
>Due to the smaller size and crew of a Lunar Gemini, the Saturn V is cancelled, in favour of a smaller variant akin to the Saturn C-3 (45 T to LEO, 18 T to the Moon)
>https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn_C-3

1967
>Maiden flight of the Saturn C-3

1968
>Maiden flight of the UR-700. It fails.

1969
>Gemini 20 is the first manned lunar landing, carrying Ed White to the surface on a solo mission

1970
>Alexei Leonov is the first Soviet to land on the moon.

Also 1970
>Without a budget to build the “space shuttle,” and with mounting pressures following the Soviet landing - and their much more capable vehicles - NASA is forced to continue the Lunar Gemini program

Vertical flight may be superior but it is fucking boring in comparison. With horizontal spacecraft you can fly wherever you want. Sit in the pilot seat, pop a cold one with the boys, and take a look at those incredible methane lakes as you go soaring over another lightning storm.

Or you can sit in ze pod instead. Waiting around for some underfunded engineer to strip more wings off because muh unneeded weight. You aren't even allowed to fucking steer the things half the time

The real fun will arrive when people get off their asses and collect enough coins to finish the SABRE engines and equip all spaceplanes with VTOL landing thrusters so they don't have to build gigantic runways all over the planet

The best possible outcome would be someone making like Stalin and knocking Krolev and Glushko's heads together until they agree to play nice with each other. A RD-270 first stage with a stock N-1 everything else should be within the capabilities of Soviet engineering and manufacturing while keeping the volume of hypergolics to something sane. Or you convince Glushko that kerolox doesn't have cooties and he designs the RD-170 a decade early.

And yeah, "Somehow, Korolev survived!" is right up there with the USSR not imploding when every rational factor said that it should.

I think so. Such toxic propellants should be left at what they do best, ballistic missiles with high readiness and niche, high performance usages, best not too much in one place at that.
>The whole “dude Korolev lived!” Thing is almost cliche
I think it's a fair one, despite how popular it got. N1 would've had significantly better chances of succeeding otherwise, I'm sure of it. Of course, it's just fiction and imagination, working from what we know about the people (and their influence both at Moscow and Baikonur) and what they had available at the time, since we can't be sure how it'd have gone. Otherwise, there's stuff like Soyuz A, but it was very early on and dropped for very rightful reasons at the time, but maybe you could move from circumlunar to manned landing with some changes, no idea.

The N1 was just too many risky design choices all lining up in a row. Having 30 engines on the first stage was too complex and presented too many chances for something vital to break. The NK-15s were ass engines that couldn’t be tested before flight, but the NK-33s that they were going to replace them with in the N1F were solid. Controlling all of those engines with the KORD system was always going to be a crapshoot because soviet computers were so inferior to their western counterparts.

If they could fix even one of those issues, get a engine that can be tested before flight, get a first stage with fewer breakable parts or something that doesn’t rely on finicky computer control, then the N1 could have been a rocket that only failed occasionally instead of failing spectacularly on every fucking launch.

Honestly the original plan for the N1 was a smaller, 40 to 50 ton to LEO vehicle. It would be followed by the N2 - a 80 ton to LEO vehicle.

> - (Korolev) - to be developed in 1960 - 1962. 40 to 50 metric tons payload to low earth orbit and 10 to 20 metric tons to Mars. Draft project to be completed by second quarter 1961.
>N-II - (Korolev) - to be completed in 1963 - 1967. 60 to 80 metric ton payload to low earth orbit and 20 to 40 metric tons to Mars. Draft project to be completed in 1962.

In this timeline, maybe both the US and USSR end up with a 40 ton to LEO rocket instead of the fuckhuge ones of our world. But the US uses the Saturn C-3 for a Gemini LOR and the Soviets use two N1-lite launches to do EOR and then LOR.

Maybe in the 70’s, the N1F of our timeline appears (no NK-15 issues).

Hence my emphasis on the FAA: you can be ready and finished but it can take time for a government entity to recognize that you are ready

>I swear to god if the book report ends up being the delaying factor though
I know surely they must hire someone in that kind of expertise, but it was more amusing imagining someone driving over there to work on the most promising rockets in the world only for their boss to simply lead them into an empty room with a #2 pencil and paper

>The launch of NASA's CAPSTONE moon mission has been delayed at least two additional days, to no earlier than Monday (June 27).

>If all goes according to the current plan, CAPSTONE will launch Monday at 5:50 a.m. EDT (0950 GMT) and arrive at the moon on Nov. 13. That arrival date will remain the same no matter when CAPSTONE lifts off, NASA officials said; it's set by the mission's trajectory design. CAPSTONE's launch window extends through July 27.

The 55-pound (25 kilograms) CAPSTONE won't land on the moon. Its chief objective is to verify the stability of a near rectilinear halo orbit (NRHO) around the moon — a highly elliptical path that no spacecraft has ever occupied before.

>The cubesat will also perform some navigation and communications tests, some of them in tandem with NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, which has been circling Earth's nearest neighbor for more than a decade.

One of two will happen. 1) It makes it really high 70km? altitude, and then it deviates from the flight path a little and so the safety people ask them to remotely detonate it

>Teams conducted a wet dress rehearsal Monday, June 20, to validate the timelines and procedures for launch, including loading propellant into the rocket’s tanks, performing the launch countdown through the handover to the automated launch sequencer, and draining the tanks.
>NASA has reviewed the data from the rehearsal and determined the testing campaign is complete. The agency will roll SLS and Orion back to the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at Kennedy next week to prepare the rocket and spacecraft for launch and repair a leak detected during the most recent rehearsal. NASA plans to return SLS and Orion to the pad for launch in late August. NASA will set a specific target launch date after replacing hardware associated with the leak.

100% recommend watching the full live reaction of mission control to the Columbia disaster. It’s haunting and sad.
Some time stamps
>5:17 - Last transmission
>6:03 - Shuttle should have broken up here
>8:30 - Mission control realizes what happened
>12:30 - “lock the doors”
