All language subtitles for 03-Launch Failed & Post-Flight Analysis Report

spacex's next Generation Starship launch

vehicle the most powerful rocket ever

built put on quite a show during its

second integrated flight test let's take

a look at the major events that happened

last week that led to the launch of the

world's most powerful rocket on November

11th Starship 25 was destacked from

booster 9 to fix the tiles that fell

from the ship after it was fully stacked

on November 10th workers replaced the

damage tiles with the new ones the

following days while SpaceX awaited the

launch license for the second integrated

flight test from the FAA on November

14th the US fish and wildlife service

submitted the final biological report to

the FAA after completing an

environmental review of the Starbase

launch site including an investigation

into the environmental effects of the

newly installed water Deluge system

designed to protect a launch pad

infrastructure from heat and vibration

during engine ignition and launch events

the agency concluded that the Starship

launch and subsequent damage to the pad

infrastructure in April had no long-term

negative effects on the surrounding

ecology they they added that water

released from the Deluge system is not

expected to change the salinity of the

existing mud flats or reduce or modify

the piping plover or Red Knot habitat

surrounding the launch site the report

noted that the water Deluge tanks have a

capacity of 358,000 gall and launches

are expected to use only 132,000 gallons

or about 500,000 L of water so it is

possible the system could be used twice

without recharging moreover out of those

500,000 L of water released 92% or

nearly 460,000 L would be vaporized

during engine ignition the report says

that the Deluge system would be limited

to 30 uses annually including booster

static fire tests and launches the

report also mentioned that a launch is

expected to ablade up to 190 PBS or 86

kg of Steel from the water discharge

plate along with the environmental

investigation performed by the fish and

wildlife service the FAA also researched

the safety aspect of starship's launch

procedures the agency determined space

facex met all safety environmental

policy and financial responsibility

requirements the completion of the FAA

and FWS investigations paved the way for

the starship's permit to fly for a

second time SpaceX received the modified

Starship launch license from the FAA on

Wednesday which similar to the first

launch license only covered a single

integrated flight test after the license

was received SpaceX stacked ship 25 a

top booster 9 and began the final round

of preparation for launch on November

17th however on November 16th Elon Musk

posted on X that the launch had been

delayed by 24 hours as SpaceX would need

to replace a grid fin actuator on the

booster actuators are electric motors

that control the grid fins to steer the

super heavy booster during Landing to

replace the faulty actuator teams

destacked the ship and later removed the

hot stage ring from the top of the

booster although musk indicated that a

single actuator needed to be replaced

teams ended up replacing three of the

four actuators it is possible that

issues were discovered later on with the

other two actuators after the actuators

were replaced the grid fins were tested

to make sure they were performing as

expected after the works were complete

the hot stage ring was reinstalled and

later the ship was restacked at top the

booster for launch the 24-hour delay

caused by the actuator issue gave SpaceX

a little more time to finish all the

preparations needed for launch day on

the launch day two hours before the

liftoff flight director conducted a go

no go pole and gave commands for

propellant loading it took nearly an

hour and a half to fully load the ship

and the booster with 4,600 tons of

liquid oxygen and methane propellant the

Raptor engine chill down procedure began

at the tus1 19 minutes and 40 seconds

Mark during that phase a portion of the

propellant was passed through the

engines of the booster in the ship to

condition them to the right temperature

before ignition the vehicle then went

into internal power and the onboard

computer took over the countown sequence

at tus 10 seconds the flame deflector

began flowing water under the launch

mount the Raptor startup sequence began

at the T-minus 3 second Mark followed by

engine ignition when the engines reached

the required thrust level the launch

Mount clamps were released sending the

121 M toll rocket into space with a

mighty Roar it was a spectacular and

surreal sight Starship kept climbing and

unlike the first flight test none of the

booster engines failed during liftoff

and descent the rocket surpassed the

speed of sound and experienced maximum

aerodynamic pressure 68 seconds after

liftoff the launch vehicle endured the

harshest structural loads of its Ascent

into space during Max Q 2 minutes and 43

seconds after liftoff all of the booster

engines except the inner three cut off

as planned 5 seconds later Starship

ignited all six engines and smoothly

separated from the booster stage it was

the first time SpaceX had ever attempted

the hot staging technique after a quick

flip maneuver the booster reignited its

inner engines for Boost back bur however

three of the inner engines failed to

reignite and one of the engines shut

down unexpectedly later all of the

engines rapidly shut down and the

booster exploded over the Gulf of Mexico

the flight termination system might have

been triggered as SpaceX determined that

the booster could not be returned safely

due to multiple engine failures

meanwhile ship 25 continued burning its

engines for more than 6 minutes and

attained an altitude of 150 km the

ship's engines shut down as planned 8

minutes after liftoff however shortly

after SpaceX lost the Telemetry data

from the spacecraft during the

post-flight discussion SpaceX engineer

John inser explained that they lost

contact with the vehicle at the end of

the second stage engine burn and the

automated flight termination system was

triggered to prevent the vehicle from

veering off course bringing an early end

to the test flight a video surfaced on

the internet a few hours after the

launch claiming to be ship 25

re-entering the Earth's atmosphere over

Puerto Rico the authenticity of the

video has not yet been verified if all

had gone according to plan Starship

would have continued accelerating toward

space completed nearly one full lap of

the Earth and splashed down in the

Pacific Ocean near Hawaii the flight

made significant progress compared to

the first test flight in April many of

the super heavy engines abruptly shut

down during the first integrated flight

test causing the rocket to spin out of

control SpaceX was forced to activate

the rocket self-destruct mechanism

blowing up the rocket over the Gulf of

Mexico Flight 2 was successful in many

aspects compared to flight one there

were no inlight booster engine failures

and Stage separation and second stage

engine ignition went as per the plan

the success can be attributed to

upgrades such as the new hot stage

separation system and the Raptor

electric thrust vector control system

the water Deluge system also appeared to

have performed flawlessly as no big

rocks or concrete debris were seen

flying off the Launchpad during engine

ignition and liftoff the Launchpad

looked fine compared to its condition

after the April launch little to no

damage was done to the Launchpad and the

Deluge system steel plates the

starship's quick disconnect arm

meanwhile sustained some minor damage

that should hopefully be fixed soon the

water storage tank at the tank farm also

incurred some damage which might have

resulted from debris impact despite

ending earlier than expected the mission

gave SpaceX Engineers valuable data that

would enable them to make the necessary

modifications and upgrades to the launch

vehicle before the third attempt

following the launch the FAA issued a

statement stating that there had been no

reports of injuries or damage to public

property and that they would oversee a

mishap investigation into the flight

once the investigation is complete the

FAA will give SpaceX corrective actions

to complete before the company can

receive a license for future Starship

launches the prototypes for the third

flight are slated to be Starship 28 and

super heavy booster 10 both of which

have several upgrades over the current

Vehicles static fire testing of ship 28

and booster 10 to prepare them for the

launch will begin in the near future a

new ship was fully stacked at the

Starbase production site lately the a

section of Starship 32 was moved inside

the high Bay on Thursday October 16th

later it was joined with the already

stacked sections completing the basic

structure of ship 32 next teams will

install the AFT flaps and connect all

wiring and plumbing to prepare the ship

for cryo proof tests at Massie several

metal pieces that resemble the columns

and beams of the Starship launch Tower

have arrived at Starbase lately plans to

build a second launch Tower at the star

base have been in the works for the past

3 years several launch Tower sections

are already pre-fabricated at spacex's

Roberts Road facility at Kennedy Space

Center perhaps SpaceX plans to ship the

completed section from Robert's Road and

build the remaining Tower sections at

Starbase the new tower will be near the

existing launch tower for the Starbase

launch site expansion plan released in

2020 SpaceX is also building a Starship

launch Tower at Kennedy Space Center

launch complex 39a the basic structure

of the tower has already been completed

there has been no significant progress

in the tower and Launchpad works for the

past several months a second launch

Tower at Starbase and the launch Tower

at Kennedy will increase the Cadence of

Starship launches helping to speed up

musk's goal of colonizing
More SpaceX Updates

Mars now let's discuss some of the

latest updates from the world of science

and technology SpaceX launched the

transporter 9 rid share Mission from

Vandenberg space force bace on Saturday

November 11th the mission the 9th and a

series of spacex's dedicated small sat

ride share missions carried 90 payloads

for a variety of customers after stage

separation the Falcon 99's first stage

returned to Earth for a vertical

touchdown at vandenbberg about 7 and 1/2

minutes after liftoff it was the 12th

launch and Landing for this particular

booster deployment of payloads from the

second stage to a 520 km Sun synchronous

orbit began almost an hour after launch

and lasted for about 30 minutes the

payloads range from Pico satellites of

less than a kilogram to satellites

weighing several hundred kilg the

customer with the most payloads on

transporter 9 was Planet the company had

36 of its Dove Imaging uats on the

launch the does are about the size of a

shoe box and weigh approximately 5 kg

the satellites provide 3M multispectral

image resolution for various mapping

applications such as tracking

urbanization and deforestation improving

natural disaster relief efforts and

raising agricultural yields worldwide

while some ride share customers deal

directly with SpaceX to launch their

spacecraft most of the payloads are

handled by launch integrators these

companies purchase space on the payload

stack group customer payloads into that

space and launch either directly from

the rocket second stage or on board a

separable deployer or space tug that

will release payloads at a later time

please check out the link in the

description for the complete list of all

the 90 satellites launched on the

transporter 9 Mission a day after the

transporter 9 mission on Sunday November

12th SpaceX launched a pair of Internet

satellites for luxemborg based company

sces from Cape Canaveral space force

station in Florida the launch vehicle

carried the third pair of 03 BM power

satellites into a medium earth orbit

after stage separation ation the Falcon

99's first stage came back to Earth and

made a vertical touchdown on a drone

ship stationed in the Atlantic Ocean it

was the ninth launch and Landing for

this particular booster 2 hours after

liftoff the Rockets Upper stage deployed

the two Boeing built satellites into an

8,000 km orbit 03b stands for other

three billion referring to the billions

of people worldwide without access to

consistent and reliable internet service

the more powerful 03 BM power satellites

are designed to expand the existing 03b

installation of communication satellites

operated by sces providing low latency

Broadband connectivity to remote

locations the first 203bm Power

satellites were launched in December

2022 followed by the second pair in

April this year once all six satellites

in orbit are operational they are

expected to provide high-speed

connectivity to various customers in

government and private Industries as

early as

2024 the launch of the next pair of 03

BM power satellites is targeting the

second half of 2024 one once complete

the M Power constellation will comprise

13 high throughput and low latency

satellites compared to the 20 in the

original 03b
Euclid Telescope's First Images Reveal New Cosmic Details

constellation the European space agency

has released the first full color images

from ID the agency's latest Space

Telescope the ID Space Telescope was

launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket

from Cape Canaveral space force station

on July 1st after being deployed from

the Rocket's upper stage the space

Observatory began its one- monthlong

journey to a Halo orbit around the

second sun lug range point at an average

distance of 1.5 million km beyond

Earth's orbit it is the exact location

where NASA's James web Space Telescope

operates uclid is a visible to near

infrared Space Telescope designed

primarily to better understand dark

energy and dark matter by accurately

measuring the acceleration of the

universe in addition uid will also

perform near infrared spectroscopy of

hundreds of millions of galaxies and

stars allowing scientists to investigate

their chemical and kinematic properties

in detail following 3 months months of

checkouts and calibration uid began its

science mission in October ID's team

revealed the telescope's first five

color images during a video broadcast on

November 7th this incredible Snapshot

from uclid shows 1,000 galaxies

belonging to the Perseus cluster located

240 million light years away from Earth

and more than 100,000 additional

galaxies further out in the background

many of these fainted galaxies were

previously unseen and some are so far

away that their light has taken 10

billion years to reach us the next image

released was of a spiral galaxy known as

Caldwell 5 nicknamed The Hidden galaxy

located 11 million light years from

Earth this galaxy owes its nickname to

the fact that it is obscured by the

Milky Way from our perspective thanks to

its infrared view uid has already

uncovered crucial information about the

stars in this galaxy the third image

released was of an irregular dwarf

Galaxy called NGC 6822 located 1.6

million light years from Earth this

sparkly image shows ukids view of a

globular cluster called Ng c 6397

located about 7,800 light years away

globular clusters are collections of

hundreds of thousands of stars held

together by gravity currently no other

telescope than uid can observe an entire

globular cluster in one single

observation and at the same time

distinguish so many stars in the cluster

in this image uclid shows us a

spectacularly panoramic and detailed

view of the Horsehead nebula at a

distance to Earth of

1,375 light years this region in the

constellation Orion is a St Nursery

where dust and gas accumulate into stars

and planets ukids images help

astronomers find new stars Brown dwarfs

and planet-like objects In This Cloud

these five images Mark an important step

in the uclid telescope six-year mission

to create the largest Cosmic 3D map ever

made firstly they showcase that ucl's

telescope and instruments are performing

extremely well secondly each image

individually contains a wealth of new

information about the nearby Universe

after some final fine-tuning of the

telescope uclid will start routine

observations in early

2024 thank you for tuning in for the
