Elon Musk just declared to stop Starship V1 production! Huge update on V2 ...
SpaceX never slows down. Just after the amazing second orbital flight of the Starship, Elon Musk revealed some new details about the next version of the Raptor engine, as we talked about in our previous episode. But that's not all. Musk also announced that Starship V1 is coming to an end, and teased the next crazy generation of Starship.
On Friday, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk shared a photo of the Starships at Starbase and said: "Four more Starships, the last of V1".
SpaceX first introduced the V1.0 prototype of the Starship in 2020. Before that, they had built several Starship prototypes, but the V1 prototype was the first one designed for an orbital test flight.
In this photo, we can see 28, 29, 30 and 31.
This means that 32 and 33 might be canceled since they are based on the same design.
For the future prototypes, "Version 2 of the ship holds more propellant, reduces dry mass, and improves reliability", Elon Musk tweeted.
We can expect that the new ships will have nine engines instead of six, and carry about 1800 tons of propellant instead of 1200 tons. They will also be longer, reaching 58 meters.
This will make it easier for the booster to return to the launch site and increase the delta-v of Starship when refueled in orbit.
But how will they reduce the dry mass if they make the ships bigger? Well, one possibility is that they will use thinner steel, but that seems unlikely - thinner steel would also need more internal supports, which would add more weight.
Actually, SN 7.2 was tested with 3mm steel instead of 4mm back in January 2021, so maybe they are switching to that.
Also, SpaceX will probably upgrade Starship to have nine engines: six Raptor Vacuums and three Sea Levels. More thrust means less gravity losses during ascent, which means more payload capacity.
Of course, dry mass isn't just the hull, it also includes the engines. But keep in mind that the new Raptors they're working on don't need extra shielding inside the back section, so they might cut down on the dry mass a bit depending on how heavy the new Raptors are.
They could also fit more propellant by shrinking the payload area and/or using the flatter Edomes.
Musk didn't say how much more propellant the newer ships will have, it might not be that much more.
With all the lessons learned from these tests, the next version of Starship and Booster will make this one look like a toy rocket.
I wonder what the next generation after that will be like.

To be resolved, thank you.

In case people don't remember, the original Falcon 9 was totally different then the one flying now. It has been continuously improved from an expendable to a reuseable rocket.

V1s purpose is to get the math right.. from take off.. to orbit.. to landing. Then V2 kicks in. MicDrop! LETSGOOO SPACEX!!!

Man I love your content but PLEASE be careful about your audio track, the amount of time it's not properly cut and you repeat your sentences twice is SUPER ANNOYING !

[BradM]

Dude! What's with the lower quality narration lately? Lots of bad edits and repeats (do overs) in the narration. This channel and even Everyday Astronaut are messing up. I know it happens sometimes, but I've really been noticing it a lot lately. I hope the critique helps improve your content! Cheers.

CAN'T WAIT FOR STARSHIP VERSION TWO ! ! ! EXCITING STUFF ! ! !👍

Hi guys thanks for the updates on space and the industry everything seems to be going great 👍 for everyone David 🚀🇬🇧❤️👌👍

I think by using, 60 percent weight titanium, instead of stainless steel for the payload section structure and front pointy end part of the starship vehicle they could possibly reduce the dry weight of the starship by a massive twenty percent overall. Of course it’ll more costly but they have used cheaper steel for all the development prototypes do they should be able to go straight over to titanium with limited structural testing in the can crusher

SpaceX needs to remember a saying from Star Trek's greatest engineer, Scotty himself. "The more you overtake the plumbing the easer it is to stop it up."

Any updates regarding the thermal tiles? They’re still falling off.

One could ask the question - with all the $Billions NASA has received, why haven't they pushed this boundary earlier? All I can say is that NASA should stick to high-end science and leave rocketry to more flexible, non-governmental, companies.

The raptor 2 engine has a mechanical turbo defect. This is a full flow thrust engine. For the amount of fuel present in the enclosed engine bay at the point of explosion. Something around the turbo’s has a material flaw. I do not no what materials there using. But the failure can only be within the turbo housing. This is the only thing that could inject liquid fuel into the bay compartment. Maybe they should turn to sensors back on. They would help diagnostic’s to pin point the fault.

Nickel base alloys are mainly significant for supreme corrosion resistance including Nickel 200, Monel alloys, alloy 600, alloy 625 and electroformed nickel. Electroformed nickel is not attacked by galvanic corrosion when it is kept in contact with various other metals. Monel grades offer supreme corrosion resistance and possess significant magnetic characteristics at the cryogenic temperature and good resistance to ignition in oxygen. The Inconel grades consisting of Ni, Cr and Fe prevent oxidation attack at the high temperatures limits up to 1800oF. This is more expensive and has more weight. But is bulletproof.

Next launch concentrate on turbo pump housings pressure’s and temperature’s.

You can also test the onboard destruction module.

Space X should have clearance like skunk works. Environmental can go pound dirt. The reason is due to national security, and because of this, it is a priority.

Is Mechazilla tall enough to accommodate the longer upper stage?

[PhilThurston]

Now Americans are building V1 and V2 rockets. History repeats!😛

[gottfriedheumesser]

I am still waiting for an explanation of the mishaps on flight #2. Before that, it makes little sense to speak about flight #3.
But I am sure there are a lot of people who are of the opinion I am saying nonsense.

Just one question & it's about the griffins. The griffin's seem to add drag, can they turn with the actuators reducing drag? Just a thought & I'm sure there's a good reason why they can't. 👍

Love you guys keep up the excellent videos ❤❤❤

Launching vertical launch rockets is ultimately a expensive and difficult way to make it to space. It seems we need a duel state rocket jet engine that can take off using oxygen from the atmosphere and have a reserve tank once out in space.

I am your chennal fan i am waiting daily update

SpaceX running circles around its competitors 😂 man they are fast at making progress. 👍🏻
