hi it's me tim dodd the everyday astronaut

we're at a really

exciting time

where the number

of crude vehicles

going to the international space station

we'll go from just one to three

the soyuz is eight year

monopoly for getting humans up

to the international space station

is finally coming to an end

so today we're gonna take a deep dive on the two

new spaceships that are going to be responsible

for taking humans to

and from

the international space station from the United States

so we're gonna compare the bowing star line

or writing an atlas 5 rocket

to spacex's crew dragon on their falcon 9 rocket

and to see how

far we've progressed in the world of human spaceflight

we're also gonna compare all these

systems alongside

russia's soyuz capsule

and the United States has retired space shuttle

in a side by side comparison

we'll take a look at the designs

the rockets they ride the dimensions

the cost the safety consideration

and any other unique feature that each vehicle offers

considering I've been

up close and personal with spacex's crew

dragon capsule

and boeing starling

I think I've got some pretty

good insight on these vehicles

let's get started

the international space station is

still one of the greatest feats of human engineering

I mean after all

it's a football field sized floating laboratory

traveling 10 times faster than a bullet

circling the earth

every 90 minutes

is taken

33 launches to put all of its pieces into orbit

and has been home to over 230 people

from almost 20 countries

the iss typically has six astronauts on board

crew are sent up in groups of three

and usually reside of the station for six months

there is typically

a three month overlap for existing crew

and newly arriving crew

but since the space shuttle program ended in 2011

there's only been a single ride to the iss

that's russia's soyuz vehicle

but we're coming up on a really

exciting time

as the United States prepares to send us astronauts

to the international space station from us soil on two

brand new spaceships

and what I think is most exciting is

nasa has hired private companies to do the development

and the operations in a new program

called the commercial crew program

the two companies that won the contracts are

space and boeing

I'm not really going to get into how

the commercial crew program got started or

has progressed in today's video

I mostly want to talk about the hardware

starting off with bowing and their starling

boeing started

designing the star liner

originally known as the cst 100

in 2010 after winning a contract from nasa

for the cc dev program

the starling is a traditional

truncated cone capsule design

much like previous spacecraft from the United States

it can carry up to seven astronauts at a time

although nasa won't use more than four seats at a time

the starling will be the first

orbital capsule to land on solid ground

in the United States

now this is similar to how this soyuz capsule land

and also how blue origin

sub orbital new shepherd capsule lands

there are five

landing sites proposed in the western United States

but the two prime sites will be the us's army

white sands missile range in new Mexico

and the army's doggy proving grounds in Utah

starr will land

using parachutes and a set of large airbags

a pair of drug shoots are deployed at about 9

kilometers and altitude

followed by a trio of main shoots at 3.6 kilometers

and at 1.5 kilometers in altitude

the heat shield is ditch

and the six airbags are inflated

in nominal cases

the airbags will

soften the landing when landing on land

and in awful nominal cases

like an abort or an emergency re entry

the airbags offer buoyancy and balance for water

landings touching down on land

will allow the starling

or an easy path to refurbishment and reusability

boeing is hoping to be able to turn one around in just

six months and reuse them up to 10 times

that's definitely a good thing

since the crew will land on solid ground

recovery of crew is quite different than a splashdown

on the edge of the landing zone

there'll be a mobile data tracking vehicle or mdt

as well as a mobile landing control center or mlc

and a host of other recovery vehicles

waiting to pounds

once touchdown is confirmed

a small

army of vehicles will race their way across the desert

now I picture this pretty much being like a real life

mad max scenario

boeing please send us videos of this

upon arrival a crew will check

and stabilize the hydrogen fuels

and then ground the vehicle for static electricity

after that an hvac truck will roll up

and start to cool the spacecraft

including the crew and the fuels

next up a mobile landing platform will pull up with

stairs and begin to evacuate the crew

boeing has to pull crew out within 1h

and cargo out

within two the person who

actually extracts the crew

is a member of boeing's fire and rescue team

which I think is pretty cool

the crew is taken out

and then set over to a truck for medical

checkups and then whisked away on a nasa helicopter

eventually the capsule itself will be loaded up with a

small crane truck

and taken back to begin refurbishment

the cockpit of starling takes a

fairly conservative and familiar approach

although it's a lot

less clutter than the space shuttles cockpit

it still features familiar and traditional controls

buttons and non touch screens

the starling will dock to the iss and not birth

docking is where the vehicle

actually does all the final maneuvering

until it connects itself up with the docking port

dragon 1 and sign car of vehicles

both currently birth to the station

meaning they park and then are grappled to the station

via the Canada arm

or Canada arm

astronauts get in and out of the side

hatched room on earth

but when doctor they'll crawl through the top part

that connects to the international space station

via the international docking adapter on the iss

initially getting

into and out of the starling is

admittedly a bit cumbersome

astronauts need to shimmy into their seats

lying on their backs

the spacecraft is two main sections

the crew module and the service module

the crew module is

well exactly what you'd think

so where the crew goes

it's also the part that survives reentry

the service module houses propellant tanks

for orbital maneuvering

the orbital maneuvering thrusters

the launch of board motors

which are on the bottom and a pusher configuration

solar panels on the bottom and radiators on the sides

as well as a host of other things

the abort motors are for

aero jet rocketry

rs88 bantams modified to run on hyperbolic fuels

to function as a launch abort motor

the first uncured test flight oft1

will fly with the qualification test motors

but they'll be inactive

since there will be no crew on board

in the event of an issue with the booster or

a rapid unscheduled disassembly

these abort motors would be used up

until a few minutes into flight

after which time the vehicle would just use

the maneuvering thrusters

the starling offers a full envelope of board window

meaning the astronauts can abort at any time

and remain safe

boeing design the

starer to be able to ride on a variety of rockets

including the atlas 5

the delta 4 and the falcon 9

they wand up selecting united launch alliances

atlas 5 for now

and eventually ula's

upcoming vulcan rocket will likely fly starling

the exact atlas 5 they selected isn't n22

now here's a quick reminder of those numbers

the first part of the name represents the fairing

the options being four meters five meters or n for none

the middle number

is the amount of strap on

rocket boosters and can range from 0 to 5

the last number

is the number

of arl 10 engines on the centaur upper stage

the centaur can have one or two rl10s

so putting this all together

the atlas 5

that will launch the starling will have no fairing

since it has a starling

on top it'll have two solid rocket boosters

and dual arl 10 engines on the upper stage

hence the n22

when the starling launches it'll be the first time

ula's actually used a dual

rl 10 centaur upper stage on the atlas 5

however

the dual engine centaur has been flying since 1962

and flew on the atlas 3 is recently as 2005

so it's definitely not anything new

so why are boeing and ula using a dual engine centaur

when the starling is relatively light

the rl 10 engine is crazy efficient

but one thing it's not

is powerful in order to allow for enough time

for a standard single engine to push the upper stage

and its payload into orbital velocities

without re entering the atmosphere

the first stage of the atlas 5

usually lost itself into an extra high altitude

allowing for more time

for the upper stage to do its secularization burn

this works great for standard payloads

but in the case of an abort

trajectory is actually way too steep

generating crazy high

unsurvivable g forces when it hits the atmosphere

so in order to maintain a nice

safe shallow profile

for the fragile and precious humans on board

the upper stage needed more pomp

and the solution to that was the dual engine centaur

if you need

more info on this unique engineering solution

scott mainly has an awesome video on it

boeing and ula will

also be running a secondary flight computer

they'll be running in

parallel to the

primary flight computer on the centaur upper stage

it'll catch any errors in the flight plan

faster than a human reaction time

shutting down the engines and triggering an abort

another design

consideration is

due to the blunt nose of the starling

you'll see these little

lattice structures around the outside

the starling was

designed to be as stable as possible for re entry

which means having a short and stout design

the lattice structure helps to fuse the airflow

over the vehicle

helping to make sure there are no shockwaves or

inadvertent pressure areas

over the lower portion of the vehicle on a scent

especially since the rocket actually tapers down

to the skinny centaur upper stage

they also added an aerodynamic skirt

to ensure smooth airflow

despite the apollo spacecraft being a similar shape

the saturn 5 a road on top of

kind of wedding caked out

tapering wider and wider

and therefore didn't have those design considerations

starer astronauts will take off from ula's launchpad

sc 41 at cape canaveral air force station in Florida

the pad has already

been fitted with the crew access arm

in preparations for the first

crew launches

this will be the first time

humans have launched from this particular launch pad

which is awesome and

also the first time

humans have launched from

cape canaveral air force station

since apollo 7 in 1968

we'll get into the dimensions the designs

prices and more

when we do a side by side comparison

of all the vehicles

now on to the other new spaceship

spacex's crew dragon or dragon 2 dragon

2 is the follow up to spacex's

very successful dragon capsule that has flown cargo to

and from the iss

since 2012

the dragon capsule was originally called dragon writer

when it was initially proposed to nasa for the cc

dev program

space was not selected for the first round

perhaps because the dragon capsule had noses

all around it

but spacex was selected during the second

round of contracts

the original dragon writer capsule was essentially

just a cru rated version of their dragon capsule

which at the time was getting ready for its 1st

test flights to orbit

and was already on contract to resupply the iss

which would later due in 2012

in 2014 spacex revealed the updated

version of the dragon capsule

which would

carry astronauts at their headquarters in hawthorne

the dragon 2

was a massive redesign of the original dragon capsule

including seating for up to seven astronauts

although again

nasa won't be using more than four at a time

for the commercial crew program

dragon 2 was originally planning to

also touchdown back on land using the abort motors

assuming they weren't used for an abort

to come to a nice soft touchdown anywhere

however due to a few reasons

space ditch propulsive landings

and will do a

parachute recovery and splashdown in the ocean

much like the current dragon capsule

if you need to know more about why

space canceled

propulsive landing their dragon capsule

I've already got you covered the crew

dragon's primary landing zone is the Atlantic Ocean

which is different from the current dragon capsule

which has been splashing down in the Pacific Ocean

since its first launch and recovery in 2010

space also filed to have the gulf of Mexico

be a contingency landing site too

which I believe would be at first

space has a pair of ships named go

searcher and go navigator

that'll be in charge of crew recoveries

go searcher features a hoist

capable of lifting the dragon capsule onto the deck

and then offloading the crew

there's communication

relays

and a helicopter landing pad to get the crew home

after splashdown go

searcher has been part of spacex's fleet for a while

80 in the recovery efforts of falcon

9 transship landings

as well as dragon 1 recoveries

despite the ocean landing

space

does have refurbishment and reuse plans for dragon 2

although not quite like you might be thinking

refurbished dragon 2's won't carry humans again

but they'll eventually be used to carry

cargo for crs2 missions

space already has experience

refurbishing splashdown dragon capsules

and has flown five dragon capsules to date

although according to elon mosque in 2017

he mentions it's almost as

expensive to refurbish the splash down dragons

as it is to build new ones

but I'm sure

since then they've implemented streamlined processes

which have helped made the efforts worthwhile

the design of the crew

dragon capsule is extremely minimalistic

it's easy to see that the design was influenced by elon

who likes things simple

the interior looks like the tesla model 3 of

spaceships compared to

night riders car kit

some unique features of the interior are touch screens

and movable chairs

when dragon 2 was first revealed

elon satin a seat and pulled the screen down to him

that's now reversed

as the screens are stationary and the seats move up

to them again

just like the starling

the dragon 2 is designed to be fully autonomous

with manual overrides really

only there as contingencies

but the dragon 2 does something that the old dragon one

couldn't do and that's dock

getting into the dragon capsules

done via the side hatch

once you poke your head in

it's very spacious and minimalistic

it's easy to plop into the seat and get comfy

I actually really think this layout makes sense

like the starling

the dragon 2 is actually two sections as well

there's the crew module and the trunk

the crew module is again the part that holds the humans

but it also has

the super draco abort motors integrated onto it

since this portion of the spacecraft is recovered

the super draco motors are also recovered

you just like the starling

the super draco's run on hyperbolic propellants

and offer a full envelope abort window as well

the trunk is an unpressurized section of the spacecraft

just like it is on dragon 1

this allows for the ability to take up

larger components that

wouldn't fit through the docking port

or

items that are installed on the outside of the station

items that are in

inside the trunk are retrieved via the Canada arm

2 or another arm named dexter

the trunk of the dragon

2 offers a unique layout with stationary solar panels

covering one side of the vehicle

and radiators

on the other side

the old dragon 1 had extending solar panels

this makes sense

because you want the solar panels to be facing the sun

and you want the radiators away from the sun

so

pretty cool design

the trunk also has some fins to help

stabilize the vehicle in the event of an abort

again I already did a video all about this

so if you want to learn more

about the fins on the dragon

and why they matter during an abort

check out this video

the trunk is detached prior to reentry and burns up

due to a lack of a heat shield

this allows for disposal of some

on station items as well

very fiery garbage service

the dragon

2 is designed to exclusively fly in the falcon 9

although there were

plans for it to fly in a falcon heavy at one point

but

space no longer plans to human certify falcon heavy

and instead is focusing on starship

in order for the falcon 9 to be crew rated

nasa required a

design freeze of their block 5 variants

and spacex tends to upgrade their vehicles

so frequently

sometimes introduce unintended consequences

part of the design freeze

also required the use of a new composite

overrated pressure vessel

or cop

the co failure was the root cause of the amo

6 pad anomaly

and a cop strut was the cause of the crs 7 failure

space started flying a newly designed cop

at the end of 2018

it's kind of unusual that nasa required a design freeze

I mean

considering nasa has considered flying humans on the

2nd launch of sls

or even more crazy

there's even been talks of them

putting humans on the 1st

flight of sls

but spacex is known to make changes all the time

in the constant pursuit of improvement

so I think a safer

more conservative approach is a good idea

when human lives are involved

the falcon 9's flight profile with the crew

also had to be altered compared to the cargo versions

to ensure the safest profile and case of an abort

due to the shallower flatter profile

it also means the first age booster

the falcon 9 will not do a return to launch si landing

and we'll have to land down range on the drone ship

the upper stage of the falcon

9 uses the merlin 1d vacuum engine

which is extremely powerful

but not very efficient

it will have no problem

maintaining a shallow profile

crew will climb on top of a block

5 falcon 9

poise at launch complex

39a at kennedy space center in Florida

now I have to say not that it's a contest

but spacex definitely does have the coolest launch pad

ever mean after all

this is the same launchpad that humans took off from

to go to the moon

crew will go up the fixed service structure

that's a relic from the space shuttle era

although spacex has done a lot of work

to remove the rotating service structure

repaint the tower

add cladding and attach their mobile access arm

one thing that spacex will be doing this

completely new in the world of human spaceflight

nasa consider a valid option

is a load and go fueling procedure

since spacex uses super chilled propellants

they need to load them up into the vehicle as

late as possible

so they don't warm up and boil off

before the vehicle takes off

space

actually continues to fuel the rocket up until just

3min before liftoff now

clearly 3min isn't nearly

enough time to get up the tower

and strap the crew into the dragon capsule

and then leave the tower

so the crew will actually enter before propellant load

and will remain on board while the vehicles fueled up

I can clearly understand how this is different

but I actually feel like it's kind of a safer move

I mean this means the astronauts and the ground crew

never

need to approach a fully loaded vehicle on the pad

once fuel starts flowing

the crew is actually in the safest place imaginable

a tightly sealed

pressure vessel armed with a powerful abort system

so despite the process of fueling up being pretty risky

the crew is in a very safe place

can you imagine

this will be the first time in history

a human ear will hear the sound

of cryogenic fuel flowing into the vehicle

look here

all

those creeks and strains of the vehicle as it comes to

life

that's gonna be crazy

another fun fact is

the crew will arrive to the launch site in tesla model

x's of course

man spacex will be putting on a new show

that's for sure

now lastly before we get to the direct comparisons

did you know

both launchpads have an amusement park ride

well not quite

but each pad does have an emergency zip line

capable of evacuating astronauts and ground crew

in a hurry in the unlikely event of say

a leak or a fire

while I'm sure there's limited use cases one

this would even be remotely useful

it does look like it'd be pretty fun

well assuming you're not being chased by a fireball

oh okay wow enough of the rundown

it's time to compare these vehicles side by side

and see how these

new

vehicles compared to the soyuz and the space shuttle

so first off

let's just line these vehicles up side by side

and compare their sizes

yeah the

space shuttle orbiter clearly

dwarfs these vehicles in size

that thing is huge

and because of its immense size

we're gonna focus in on just

the crew module portion of the shuttle

so we can see these other vehicles

but don't forget about the rest of it

we'll still be talking about the system as a whole

since

the aft end is its service module on the cargo bay

is similar in nature

to the trunk of the dragon capsule

way way bigger

but notice how much

bigger the starling and dragon are

compared to the soyuz

so let's run through the dimension

starting with their height

the starling stands 5 meters tall

with a service module attached

the crew dragon is 8.1

meters tall with the trunk and the soyuz is 7.5

meters tall

with the orbital module and service module attached

the space shuttle will show its length as height

because that's the way it stood when it was on the pad

it stood 37 meters tall from tail to nose

next they're width

the starling is 4.5 meters wide

the dragon capsule 3.7 meters wide

the soyuz 2.2 meters and the space shuttles

crew compartment and payload bay were 4.6 meters wide

will ignore the wings for this comparison

I feel like we're gonna have

a lot of asterisks when we compare these

vehicles to the space shuttle

because that thing

was a completely different beast

next up dry mass starling is 13

tons dragon is 9.5 tons

the soyuz capsule is shockingly light at 7.1 tons

and the space shuttle

yeah you can imagine this is quite a bit heavier at

68.5 tons as mentioned earlier

crew capacity for both starling and dragon as 7

but again nasa will only use four

the soyuz capsule can fit three barely

and the shuttle could fit up to eight

although seven was much more common now for volume

both pressurized and unpreciariz

starr has

11 cubic meters of pressurized volume and no one

pressurized dragon

2 has 10 cubic meters of pressurized volume and 14

cubic meters of unpressurized volume

soyuz has

8.5 cubic meters of pressurized and no unpreceduri

volume the space shuttle is of course

king here with

74.3 cubic meters from pressurized volume

and 300 cubic meters of unpressurized

volume in other words

you could almost fit all three

spaceships inside the payload bay of the shuttle

so now how long can these vehicles stay in space

the starlight can go

60 hours on its own and 210 days while docked

crew dragon can go one week on its own

and also 210 days on doctor

the soyuz can go

30 days on its own and 180 days when doctor

and the space shuttle couldn't go much beyond 17

days due to being powered by fuel cells

next up how about their abort systems

the starling and crew dragon both have a pusher type

system that's full

envelope

mean they can abort safely at any time during ascent

the soyuz has a polar or a tractor

system with an abort tower

and ferry motors 2

which also offers a full envelope escape

and of course

the space shuttle had no mechanical abort systems

and a quick little note here on a board systems

pushers push up from the bottom

or the middle of the spacecraft

and tractors or polar bore systems

pull from the top using a tower

or something like that

now where to all these land

starer shuttle and soyuz all touched down on land

while crew dragons splashes down

now how about reusability slash refurbishment ability

the starlings capable of up to 10 reuses crew

dragon is capable of reuse

but for now only as cargo variant

soyuz is expendable

and the space shuttle was also reusable

so now the launch vehicles that get these to space

starr will ride the atlas 5 n22

crew dragon the falcon 9

soyuz the soyuz fg rocket and soon the soyuz 2

and the shuttle was part of the space transportation

system while we have these rockets pulled up

I think it's important

we take a note on their reliability

we're going to ignore partial failures

and only talk about mission success

in which case the atlas 5 really comes up on top

at 100 success in 79 flights

the falcon 9 is at

69 missions and has had two failures

one of them

actually happening before the launch occurred

giving it a 97

1 success rate

the soyuz is complicated

because it's been flying since the 60s

in some form or another

so in total it's 996 out of 1 000 28 for a 96

9 success rate but its newest variant the fg

has only had one failure out of 66

making it 98 5 successful

and the shuttle had two failures out of 135 launches

also making it 98.5 successful

it should also be noted that thanks to the abort

system the 1 1 failure of the soyuz fg

led to no loss in life

and another quick note

this time about the use of solid rocket boosters

solid rocket booster

led to the loss of the challenger vehicle

but that's not to say solids on their own

are inherently more dangerous per se

the mixture of

a solid rocket booster

and the lack of a mechanical abort

system is really what was dangerous

we've learned a lot

since the space shuttle and the atlas

5's use of srb is considered very safe

due to the fact that the starling does have an abort

system if there was a failure

the crew would be able to get away from the rocket

so we really shouldn't compare the atlas's use of srs

to the space shuttles use of srs

and now where do all four of these launch from

launch sites are

slick 41 at cape canaveral air force base

for starling

right next door is the falcon 9

which will launch from lc 39a at kennedy space center

the soyuz launches from biker lc 1 5

and the shuttle launch from both lc 39a and

lc 39b at ksc

and lastly we're gonna talk about price per seat

and this one has a pretty big aster as well

both starling and crew

dragon have a price tag of 58 million per seat

the soyuz capsule is now up to 82 million per seat

and the shuttle

well this is a hard one

on paper the shuttle would cost around

2014 $1000000 per seat

but don't forget the shuttle did a lot

more than just take crew up

it often would carry an additional payload of a dozen

tons or more

so maybe it's fair to take that 214

$1000000 per seat per launch

and then take 80 off

because 80 of the volume of the vehicle

was dedicated to cargo

but maybe that's not fair either

so let's just say it's somewhere between 43 million

and 214 million

the last thing I want to mention

but only for the starling and crew dragon is their

cost of development

so the starling I received 4.8 billion

and spacex received 3.1 billion in total

but this includes two

demo launches and

six operational flights from each company

now I don't really want to get into a spitting match

over why

each company got paid such different amounts

but it likely had to do with each company's proposal

perhaps after spacex flies a few dozen astronauts

they can charge a little more

for increased confidence from nasa

kind of like how they're

able to increase the price of the cargo resupply

missions once they proved to be reliable and

after they gained a better

sense of the cost of running the program

so when it's all said and done here's my opinion

1st off

I couldn't be more excited to see an awesome pair of

exciting new rides to space

it's about time

as solid and reliable as the soyuz has been

it's about time humans have other

newer and more comfortable options

as far as each system goes

I've got my opinions and I'll keep them short

because I already know the comment section will have

plenty of opinions to go around

the starling is an awesome spaceship

it's very well thought out

and you can tell

human safety is very much

on top of mine for both boeing and ula

I'm glad to see they're going to be landing on land

because I think it's cool

and I'm glad to see they can reuse the spacecraft

and I'm also happy

the atlas will finally be carrying humans again

for the first time

since faith 7 launched with mercury atlas in 1963

and as advance as the starling is

I do wish boeing had gone a few steps more progressive

it feels like the spaceship is just a little

conservative

and you can tell they didn't want to take

any design risks or really push any boundaries

unfortunately when I got to sit in it

it just feels a little stale and cold

however aesthetics and ergonomics are a very

very minor part of the equation when you're putting

humans in space

so now we come to spacex's crew dragon capsule

there's really no arguing that spacex made the better

looking and downright

sexy spaceship

it truly is stunning

and quite frankly

the radical departure from the norm really

seems to have been pulled off brilliantly

just look at how

easy it is to get into this thing

compared to the starling

and I have no doubt the crew

dragon capsule didn't cut any corners in safety

considering they had to answer to nasa on

every single millimeter of the thing

so when it comes to pure cool factor

gonna have to give the leg up to spacex

after hearing from a few people who have

used the touchscreens

we're talking about hardcore pilots here

they have voiced missing a more

traditional control scheme

saying it does feel a little bit like flying an ipad

but lastly seeing a falcon 9

land after delivering crew to the iss will be a nice

cherry on top

and although of course

it won't be landing back at kennedy space center

I never get tired of seeing this

so no matter how you cut it you can't go wrong

nasa hired two

incredible companies to come up with some truly

exciting new rides to space

nasa should be proud of this new program

it saved them money and now offers a variety of options

so now they actually have some

overlap and redundancy in humanity's access to space

and although this

video was intended to highlight

the commercial crew program

to be perfectly honest

I wound up really appreciating the space shuttle more

after diving into this

that thing was something really special

I mean yes of course it had its flaws

and it

didn't quite live up to the hype of making spaceflight

cheaper or safer

but boy oh boy did it have some unmatched capabilities

so great job nasa boeing and spacex

I honestly couldn't be more excited for this

new chapter of spaceflight

and don't you all worry

I'll be doing my best to bring it all to you guys

I'm planning to try to make it down to

all the demo missions and cover them

live in person

if you want to help

contribute and ensure I can bring you the

best coverage possible
