SpaceX Revealed What Exactly Happened To Starship & Booster In IFT-3

SpaceX’s Starship vehicle lifted off on its third test flight on March 14, making significant progress compared to its first two by achieving most of its planned test milestones. Starship-29 testing began for IFT-4. Work on the Starship Launch Tower at Kennedy Space Center resumed.

Japan's Space One rocket, KAIROS, explodes shortly after launch. Stratolaunch achieves the first powered flight of Talon A-1 hypersonic vehicle at Mach 5

not explained... "must wait for info from Spacex"

[tmuny]

I'm glad we finally got to see inside starship ! A hollow tube with a garage door opener !

[soundslight]

Good summary and account of the event, thanks for sharing

[sekaf]

Excellent rundown, no bs, straight to it. Thank you, refreshing. Keep it up

[PowerScissor]

@5:50 Why are so many channels saying the heat is from air friction?

One of the very first things you learn about the heat from entering the Earth's atmosphere at high speed is that the heat is from the compression of air.

Has the current understanding changed to say that the heat is actually from friction and I just have outdated ideas?

I've heard friction being named in relation to this IFT3 launch so many times, and even on the SpaceX official broadcast, that now I'm doubting my understanding of re-entry heat.

[rudesport]

what amazes me is how they theorize out one of these rapid dismantlings

[ritasseremba]

Thanks a lot for the briefing, its all fantastic ❤thanks.

[keithplymale]

Booster + Starship will become as regular as Falcon 9 is today.

[agustinvelazques]

Starship was not lost, the prototype test served its purpose! It's the BIRTH of STARSHIP!

[allgood]

A lot can be learned from the recent Starship 3 launch.. onward and upward! 👍🚀

[schrodingerscat]

SpaceX have confirmed that they actually managed to close the payload door before re-entry. The ship had already lost attitude control before re-entry began. This is why there was a high roll rate after engine shut down and the engine relight was skipped. The stuff seen falling away from the ship at start of re-entry was mainly ice falling off as the outside of the ship began to heat up. If it had been tiles the irregular shaped pieces would have been smaller with larger pieces being hexagonal.

[AlexanderWright]

I think that the landing burn failed because of the long axis spin on the booster causing propellant to be centrifugally pushed to the sides of the booster, away from the intake filters.

The booster did not appear to have sufficient roll thrusters to cancel the spin.

[G]

You learn more from failure than you do a flawless flight. Next flight will be an improvement.👍

[WyoSavage]

The mere fact that starship lasted so long during reentry says a lot.

[Sirbadone]

Wow 😅 that was an impressive amount of information you give on the mechanics of rocket powered flight. Now im hooked. All of you are an elite crowd if you were able to understand and be interested in these topics.

[janmessek]

Maybe add a coating over the tiles to protect them during the ascent and help hold them on until re-entry when the coating burns off. It could help prevent ice from the chill getting between the tiles and loosening them from ice expansion on the gaps.

[NickYoung_Original]

Just to clarify the FAA review the analysis and recommendations by SpaceX, and confirm actions have been implemented. FAA don't recommend updates.

[waynzignordics]

IFT-3 was a great success, but the unplanned destruction of the booster and ship means more delays until they can get another license. That sucks.

[miker]

They need to feather the hard edge of the tile edge. The hard edge puts too much strain on them, and they pull off. A square edge will get really hot and is transferring it to the skin. Also adds drag.
