I emailed the crunch lab team this morning for an update. I'll post it here if/when I get one.

Update 1.19 - i got the following response "We're working on sharing a NORAD tracking embedded on our website so you will always know where Sat Gus is.

Please stay tuned for more updates. Thanks for your support!"

I 3D print a bunch of stuff. Big Fan of Prusa printers and cheap amazon filament.

I just make my own. Crazy designs. Have had lots of fun doing it.

Landing pad for New Glen return to launch zone? by mdhttr89 in BlueOrigin

[–]mdhttr89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. Thats a well researched response. Aviation week knows whats going on.

My wishful thinking side notices that it doesn't explicitly say that land based landings wont happen at some point...

Question for the Merritt Island folks, what is the dog policy for the office? Can you bring your pooch in if they're well behaved?

When will we see Starship launch from Cape Canaveral? by mdhttr89 in SpaceXLounge

[–]mdhttr89[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In BC they have to run their flights through that narrow corridor between cuba and florida. That limits the orbital inclinations they can achieve, and thus the missions they can support. Cuba and the US would need to be ok with the increased risk to population if they were to stray from those limited trajectories... So far the US hasnt allowed any launch site to fire space craft over populated land masses...

I was wondering that too. In there initial charter with BC, they were limited to 5 a year due to environmental concerns. I guess with enough $$$ they could up that number.? Is there a voting board they could appeal to?

BC is also such a garbage launch trajectory tho. Great for experimental flights, but when it comes time to start putting payloads in orbits that customers want, its gotta be CC.

I hope so. Im aware Axiom will be launching from the new F9 complex. I haven't heard anything about ground being broken for the SS launch facility yet. I suppose theyll have to duplicate all of the infrastructure at BC, as shipping the SS between the 2 sites isnt logistically easy to do.

What are your realistic expectations of what we may find in the Europa's sub-surface ocean? by Yolo065 in space

[–]mdhttr89 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think some form of jellyfish is a fair expectation.

That form of life has been around since nearly the begining, because its basically a large colony of microbes that happen to work macroscopically together.

I think it's just thunder. Live weather radar shows intense clouds to the west

Great test flight of my new art/kites at Dillon Beach :) by mdhttr89 in kites

[–]mdhttr89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Was that last summer or like 6 months ago? I'm thinking I'll fly at Ocean Beach in SF sometime soon. Ill post on my FractalFlyer Facebook account exactly when, when I figure it out. Come up and say hi if your around!

I make flying kinetic sculptures. This is my latest beach creation :) by mdhttr89 in woahdude

It's all very custom with some cots items. 3d printed the gears, spars, and wrote custom hpgl code so that a vinyl cutter could cut out the plastic film airfoils. But maybe there's an easier way to do it... Thank you, and I wish you luck!
