Will be interesting to see how it does in the thin atmosphere and dust. Seeing live film from that is next level rather than just pics of the surface. The rotors spin at some 2500 rpm or some thing. Scenes when a blade comes flying off, decapitates a nosey alien sparking Star Wars. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Failure of SN10 is thought to have been helium that was being used to maintain tank pressure getting into the rocket engine and causing its power to drop, thus an over hard landing damaged the landing legs and helped start the fire that blew it up. That said the next flight is Serial Number 11 then it skips to perhaps 15 as the current testing was flight testing the landings have been a bonus so they have cut some of their planned flight testing. Falcon 9 booster used earlier in the week has had its 8th flight now. Edited March 12, 2021 by dorlomin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorlomin Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 NASA prepping SLS for a "green run" today. https://blogs.nasa.gov/artemis/2021/03/18/green-run-update-test-teams-gives-go-to-proceed-with-tanking/ I think its about the last significant hurdle before it gets the A-OK for its first mission, that will be an unmanned flight round the Moon. I strongly suspect most people are oblivious to how close we are to another Moon landing. The big hurdle at the minute may be the lander as the SLS (the freaking huge, freaking expensive rocket) is nearing flight worthyness and parts for the next few of them are being assembled. In other news ex astronaut and ex Democrat Senator for Florida, Bill Nelson is likely to be Biden's pick for new NASA administrator. Confirmation might be dragged into the current trench warfare in the Capitol. But its a hugely popular, high profile agency and lots of people who sign big cheques to both parties will want it to run smoothly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
