Nzoner's Game Room>Space Exploration megathread
DaFace 09:40 AM 06-01-2014
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.

We get a Falcon Heavy launch tomorrow (hopefully)!

This is a pretty thorough discussion about why there's been such a massive gap since the last FH launch.

Ahead of the much-awaited USSF-44 launch, it is natural to ask why it has been more than 40 months since the Falcon Heavy last flew. And perhaps more importantly, does this suggest the rocket was a mistake?https://t.co/unzFOznM8M

Crazy stat:

SpaceX is targeting Tuesday, November 1 at 9:41 a.m. ET (13:41 UTC) for Falcon Heavy’s launch of the USSF-44 mission to a geosynchronous Earth orbit from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. A backup launch opportunity is available on Wednesday, November 2 at 9:37 a.m. ET (13:37 UTC).

Following booster separation, Falcon Heavy’s two side boosters will land at SpaceX’s Landing Zones 1 and 2 (LZ-1 and LZ-2) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about 15 minutes prior to liftoff.

Not gonna win any awards for views today. It was still awesome to see it on the way up, though.

SpaceX is targeting Saturday, November 12 for launch of the Intelsat G-31/G-32 mission to a geosynchronous transfer orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The 120-minute launch window opens at 11:06 a.m. ET (16:06 UTC). A backup launch opportunity is available on Sunday, November 13 with the same window.

The Falcon 9 first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched Dragon's first crew demonstration mission, the RADARSAT Constellation Mission, SXM-7, and 10 Starlink missions.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about 15 minutes prior to liftoff.

Something looked off with the 2nd stage engine. A tear in the foil... Then, right before SECO, there seemed to be some venting gas. Perhaps the venting gas is normal, I just don't recall seeing it before.

Another attempt for Artemis is up tonight!

Two Moon rockets, 50 years apart. On this day 50 years ago, the Apollo 17 mission had just completed its wet dress rehearsal. Today at @NASA_Kennedy, NASA's Artemis mission sits on its launch pad, ready for launch at 1:04 am ET. pic.twitter.com/qwyWX2MTKy
