TRANSPORTER-3 MISSION
Let us understand in detail,
The power and telemetry are nominally fine, as you can see, that the Falcon 9 has cleared the tower raised from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, we just heard the call, that the vehicle is supersonic.
We’re currently going to throttle the engines in preparation for max- cue coming out there we heard it so it was the moment of greatest aerodynamic pressure, that vehicle yeah, so we hit the moment of max aerodynamic pressure or stress on the rocket This is the 137th mission of the year so far for the Falcon 9 right second.
Transporter 3 Mission Original Video👇
In the next six minutes or so go to the level of sun synchronous orbit and what the phase basically does is orbit in that sun synchronous orbit. Which promotes a low orbit for about an hour, and then after an hour it will deploy the satellites. Because we really won’t have a strong post feed to see that deployment this time due to limited ground coverage.
It’s just the regular textbook guy, and Alex it’s become the general management cutoff. just a quick question on this less than three years ago we talked to virgin orbit the other day these are small micro satellites it’s also in the business of launching how congested this place will be, different options for the launch site But clearly there’s going to be a huge market here.
The competition is already rising, you know, that I talked about earlier some of the startups that put satellites on board, you know, that Virgin is going forward in this space with a very different delivery mechanism. Growing up, because they launch with such regularity you can go to spacex.com, and anyone can try, and get a spot on their rights.
Can you watch the video for more details?
Course they have other projects that open the door, we know, that blue natives have ambitions in this space, and one of the companies to look at is stock Rocket Lab, which are really ramping up their activity. And even though they’re operating out of New Zealand and the United States, the ng NASA contract is not because SpaceX has competition, but because it launches so often it’s basically the main option.
People go to demo video, uh live chat that we’re seeing really tremendous, and I think, you said something really important earlier, in which you said, that regular look is the fact, that We can make it something like, look routine is really quite important for development, whether you’re going into deep space moon high orbit or low earth orbit yeah well for our global audience we have these launches Make preparations.
We always talk well, what’s going to happen? What is the critical time? But with any launch there is an inherent risk, it is highly calculated, if the computer detects a problem before launch, it shuts down, but from the moment of liftoff can be anything, it is very The same volatile propellants are what boosters use to breach Earth’s atmosphere, but 137 consecutive launches have changed the game.
You know, that regularity is amazing, that booster that we saw falling down, falling back to Earth on the left, I think, that’s been done seven missions before, but Falco SpaceX has a Falcon 9 that’s done 10 You know, that’s 10 missions every launch in 26 months, 70 days or so is quite an achievement, yeah and how’s that going to affect the cost, as you say uhh to get a small satellite into space right now A million is around, this is how quickly people think the cost for recovery will go down.
What is the point of this mission?
The right side of your screen is really interesting, you saw that the fairing half is positioned, so it’s the nose of the rocket that you don’t see right now, but basically the nose of the rocket jettison is closed, and that exposes the satellite. That’s what you saw a moment ago, you have to remember that SpaceX has been a little iffy on its economics, it’s business model, it talks about being profitable, but Elon Musk has also talked about, how they cash in. Flows go a long way from being positive.
Starships you know, they’re charging regular revenue for this launch business carrying other people’s payloads, and they’re making money, they’re making money on NASA contracts but at the same time they’re in development mode There are, on their other business Starlink, so it’s interesting to know in the future, how they both interact, but the amount of economies of scale is what Elon Musk talked about and that’s what they need to reduce costs. hai um ed uh too we heard.
Elon Musk even says, that SpaceX may go bankrupt, if it can’t increase its engine production, so to your point what is really going to happen for these companies, which I think, That’s the broad question, what is the addressable market, is this space to space, yes Alex this is a point that you and I have discussed endlessly over the past year.
Elon Musk sometimes contradicts himself, but he’s been very transparent on this point, that the launch business that we’re talking about here on screen, sending stuff into space for other people. With an annual turnover of three billion dollars, now the data generated in space is a different story. Whatever you see Starlink, this space-based internet system SpaceX operates its own satellites, delivers the internet to remote corners.
Can we start seeing more and more stuff in low earth orbit?
Earth is a 30 billion business a year, but they have to build up the Constellation capability in space, and they’ve talked about investing five to ten billion dollars for that. E. Their cash flow in that business is positive, and probably up to $30 billion is all they’ve asked for the entire network, so there’s a long way to go here, um, this nascent industry, but Wall Street analysts forecast every single day. Someone is trying to come to this place.
Commenting on this space, but the forecast is for the money to be made in the data, not destroying things in orbit, you have to pay a lot for how crowded that data system is going to be there to work. need to be small, cv satellites are uhh floating around the world, my question is as we start seeing more and more stuff in low earth orbit we’ve got these satellites, they are there for communication going there, but there are all kinds of other things as well talking.
Space environmentalism I never thought, that I would see the day but SpaceX and Elon would have come under criticism from a lot of parties, there is a concern about space debris, for example I talked to you about the fairing half, which are not recycled Well, let’s talk about the reusability of the Falcon 9, the rocket is not reused throughout the space system, some of it ends up in space, the density of satellites in space worry about.
Easy Points:-
- Elon Musk and SpaceX have pushed back hard on this, they’re engaged with the agencies they’re engaged with astronomers, they don’t want to block astronomers’ view of space, they’re with astronomers want to work, so it’s something they say they’re aware of, but it’s a concern for, the international scientific community and something that’s being discussed at the government and agency level , I just update my audience here.
- SpaceX launches its third transport mission from Cape Canaveral uh in Florida, you see a live shot of the booster coming back down in space as well, can you refresh us, what we’re seeing right now yes, twice its speed so you can see that kind of aft flap under the booster as soon as it reaches a few thousand feet above the earth it gives an initial explosion, what you are seeing so it’s essentially is in free fall and then begins to stabilize itself.
- We’re getting closer and closer to Earth on the Falcon 9. Am I really going to shut up guys because it’s a beautiful moment, I wanted you audience to hear it like CGI like you heard the call from there and cheers behind me we have successfully made this Falcon 9 This is the 10th time a SpaceX rocket has sent three South African satellites into orbit.
I hope you understand!!
Have a good day!!❤️
