Space Exploration megathread
Since a number of cool things are happening in space exploration these days, we'll widen the scope of this thread a smidge. Conversation about all things space exploration are welcome, whether it be from NASA, SpaceX, ULA, Blue Origin, or anyone else. Chances are most of the discussion will still be about SpaceX since they love to make things public and fun, but nothing's off limits. I'll eventually get around to modifying the OP to include resources for other companies too, but in the meantime, feel free to post any cool stuff you run across.

I know this is getting routine for SpaceX, but it feels like it has been awhile since they had a launch and deserves more excitement. Must just be the diehards.

Yeah, the manifest for the next 2 months should be awesome. DM-1, IFA, and 2 FH launches should all be exciting.

EDIT:
Oops, IFA isn't until June. Oh well, still some exciting launches.

Those in the Rolla area, or who travel through on I-44, have you ever noticed this piece of space program history?

What kind of engine is this? from r/rocketry



H1 from Saturn 1

That would make for some talked-about yard art!

With a slight asterisk that, if the first one doesn't go perfectly, the second one will be delayed. It sounds like they're basically planning to just make one of each of the boosters for FH and just replace them if one doesn't land properly. So if all goes well, they'll clean them up and launch again quickly. But if any of the three isn't recovered intact, there will be a lengthy delay while they make another one.

Elon says IFA is April. That seems...ambitious...but I guess you never know.




Lots of tidbits in that Twitter thread fwiw. They're pretty much counting on the booster getting destroyed, which is why they want to use this one that's been up 3 times already.

Both are NET dates, so will probably slip, but I'm hopeful they'll be close! Arabsat-6A on March 6th and STP-2 on April 29th.

My understanding was that this was only the case for the center core (having to make one special). The side boosters are supposed to be modified pre-flown F9s. Replacing the center core will definitely take more time, but replacing the side boosters should be much shorter (assuming they have spare pre-flown F9's not already assigned to another mission).

Obviously not "official", but this is some cool info...

FYI, Space Launch Now is a cool app (Android, not sure about iPhone) for keeping up to date on launch schedules from multiple agencies. Links to live streams and details about missions/vehicles too.

Watching the briefing, there are 3 launch windows for DM-1, prior to the next Soyuz, March 2nd, 5th, and 9th.

Looks like payload NET June, so second FH launch not until summer.
