SpaceX Starlink & Starship News Update

Today we discuess the latest from SpaceX and Starlink news from Elon Musk & SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell. Good News and Bad News.

Will Starship 4 launch in May?
Can they accomplish a soft landing in the ocean?
Will Starship 5 land on a drone ship unit "Chop Sticks"?
How will Starship lack of reusability affect Starlink v3 satellite deployment?

Thanks for the great service you deliver!

[belgeresistant]

Thanks JChristina. I love these kind of news. Great job. Hello from Brussels, BELGIUM.

[garryhammond]

Thanks Joe - Mostly great news. - Cheers!

🦄 P.S. Yes, if you did a live for a near launch that would be way cool to see.

[patrickedgewood]

Lots of irons in the fire with the Brazilian situation.

Currently at Cocoa Beach resort in Florida saw the super rocket go up the big heavy from space force and heard the rocket go off for SpaceX this morning

Just because starship is not re-usable does not stop them launching starlink. If you look at like falcon 9 landing development then for Starship: testing is the primary mission of the flight and starlink launches would be the bonus objective at no extra cost.

Our regulatory process is not appropriate for the innovation that SpaceX requires. The regulators are not bad people, the process needs to be modernized for innovation.

They currently have 4 full stacks left at starbase flight 4, 5, 6 and 7. Elon stated they plan to produce an additional 6 full stacks this year which would give them enough hardware for 9 more months of launches even if spacex manage a pad turn around time of 6 weeks.

[armurf]

They can still send starlink V3 even if the starship is not used makes sense to use what even starship than waste the starship

[karlfortner]

If they reach a point where Starship gets to orbit, maintains its orbital stability and the PEZ is functional, they will be able to deploy V2x Starlink satellites even if the bird doesn't RTGZ. As long as they are still testing the equipment, launch and land, sending Sat's up for deployment is a net gain during that phase.

I think "controlled splashdown" means it's not tumbling, and doing a bellyflop. It's a lot less risky to go through reentry with the tanks empty. and easier to take video of the inside to watch for for burn-through. Note that the wording is different from the booster, so we can assume the Starship isn't doing the same thing.
Also, the Cape Canaveral pad is necessary for Starlink, as it can get to the approved inclinations for Gen2 (33, 43, 53 degrees). The current Starbase can only launch to ~26°, so Starship would have to make an expensive plane change to get to the right orbit...so it's not practical for Starlink.

🦄 An all black shirt! This is rare. Any configuration yet for vpn with streaming using the xb & computer? Also, you recommended a usb capture card before but that doesn’t seem to work for what I need. Any alternative recommendation for external capture cards just as good as El Gato for a little less $? I’ve been looking on Amazon but am not familiar with these other brands. ( my current one, no brand, is starting to fail ). Thank ya for any help!

[gustavozaratini]

Do you think Starlink is going to be faster than optical fiber in the future?

[marcusw]

200 ton, is half the weight of a freight train engine. I think they are around 400ton

[WarlordMoA]

The Starship builds are depending if they can stay up in orbit without descending down to earth with its tiles coming off.
Ah, so the Starship is going to be landing on a barge upright? If that happens we should throw a kick cam party.🎉

[KTMCDO]

We have friends that are looking into starlink the reply we give them is dude do it go with starlink

[honeybadgers]

Wow!! If/when the factory plant is really built by you, you can videotape the actual launch without the hideous elevator music in your background👍 And, the Youtube can no longer ding you for the lame excuse. It’s a win-win situation. Great Contant. Thanks for sharing.

Let me explain how the landing process happens, if the so called multidimensional Stabilized optimum trajectory is used.
First the languaged used:
Multidimensional means that the 6 positions are controlled in a closed feedback loop:
1.altitude above the aiming point
2, 3. lateral and longitudinal position, meaning hold the lateral position so that the ' chopstiks can grabb it, and longitudinal that the distance from the tower is such, that the chopsticks grabb it at the proper location to match the launch position.
4, 5, 6 the attitude as required to use the proper inclined approach path to reach the landing position with zero lateral drift at the hover position, roll, pitch and yaw angles. The actual attitude variables in the controller are normally not angles but unit quaternion components, which are free of singulaities and redundant.
Now with similations the optimal nominal expanded trajectories are determined and before landing corrected for the effects of wind, and other effects measured before the landing attempt.
expanded means in the case of altitude, that both the position and the velocity are determined in the phase diagram, velocity vs altitude, with constant deceleration, this phase path is a parabola.
Stabilized means that the feed back controller meaures altitude and the corresponding velocity deviation from the nominal A control law is used to modify the thrust of the engines to get back to the nominal, A process which is very accurate, commonly used is the minimum quadratic error integral regulator (LQR).
This is used for every degree of freedom and possible sloshing modes.
This technique is taught at MIT and proven to be very successful.
By trying a offshore landing this process is verified. If all parameters at the end of the flight are within tolerances, then there is no reason to not try it on the actual tower.
Once the measurements are reliable the system works every time.😊
