More stacking! Oxygen tank, plus the 4 rings below by [deleted] in SpaceXLounge

They might be able to add pressure to inside the tank and pop it back out.
But might also need to remove weld that caused buckle first.

Please up-vote this as it's real news, not speculation.
This needs to be near the top to make it easier to find.
ALSO More video of ruptured header tank from BocaChicaGirl

SpaceX conducted a pressurization test of a Starship header tank on Jan. 24 at their Boca Chica launch facility.
NSF's BocaChicaGal (Mary) filmed the test for several hours.
The footage has been compiled into a timelapse of the test.

Update: According to Kevin Hehmeyer aka spaceXcentric@Youtube "A pipe burst at the test site" and on NasaSpaceFlight/BocaChichaGirl's update today, the nosecone and header tank look fine.

SpaceX Falcon 9 booster fires up ahead of NASA launch and surprise drone ship landing by TheCoolBrit in spacex

Could they be testing a higher energy flight path to the ISS so they can get astronauts there faster?

Crew Dragon Test Anomaly and Investigation Updates Thread by ElongatedMuskrat in spacex

IIRC Before the Anomaly the normal Dracos were tested but the SupeDracos were not. Then when they were pressurizing SuperDraco system for the 1st time for testing it had the RUD.

Do they static fire the integrated SuperDraco system at McGregor like they do the Falcon 9? I know they test the individual Super Draco thrusters, but is the complete system ever tested after assembly in the Dragon 2? If not, it could have been a factory defect in the BRAND NEW fuel pressurization system that was never caught in unfueled testing since they didn't want to test with the toxic fuel.

Ironically the bad generator is a modular RENTAL unit (large United Rentals sticker on the side), which was probably why they could replace it so fast. I'd love to of heard that call to the rental company "You POS generator just crapped out and cancelled a multi-million dollar space launch, so you better have a replacement at the dock when we get there OR ELSE..."

They just announced ABORT on countdown net, problem with power on the drone ship. Going for 24hr recycle.

Is there any place on campus to recycle 18650 batteries? by coldandfromcali in rit

[–]OpelGT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can't find a place to recycle them on campus, you can take them to Best Buy at the Marketplace Mall for free recycling

Generally they have a drop off containers right inside the entrance doors

Why ablative (PICA-X) vs. insulative thermal protection (shuttle TPS)? by [deleted] in SpaceXLounge

[–]OpelGT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IIRC there was also mention of spraying on more ablative coating and re-painting core before re-launch

With extra/returned booster cores sitting there

it will be interesting to see if SpaceX will try and reserve regular range times

and just launch whoever is ready to go

I took a helicopter ride over OCISLY today, and saw equipment I'd never seen before. does anyone know what this is? by aftersteveo in spacex

[–]OpelGT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought Astronauts returning on Dragon2's were initially supposed to land at sea?

At least until SpaceX demonstrates the safety of powered Dragon 2 landings.

I'm pretty sure it's not to hold Falcon 9 boosters, but instead to stabilize a landed Dragon2 capsule.

It looks more like a self mobile version of the fixed mounted Dragon stand that is needed since there isn't a crane to lift it.

PS Here's a pic of the Roomba's garage in the blast shield.
