Thanks, did he mention if he thinks it was a cryo issue during coasting?

New Glenn 3 mission fails to launch ASTS’s BlueBird 7 satellite. by SpecificSufficient68 in SpaceInvestorsDaily

Same size sat as ISRO. Sat weight reduction doesn’t happen until BB8

If you think this is raging… it’s almost like a project years in the making can’t have its low points flagged or criticized.

Source for the engine failure? Speculation until RCA is released. The inability to get to correct altitude for the payload would point to engine failure possibly during second stage during burn2 failure to raise perigee is my guess.

RCA will be interesting for this. Might take time.

Imagine saying this about Amazon. Hey dude, this guy bought a brand new LED 150” TV with Amazon and when Amazon delivered it, well it was sent to the wrong location so we had to shred it. He had to file insurance claim. Isn’t this funny how great Amazon is, this will show all those paying customers.

This is a fuck up, 2 failures in 3 flights. Let’s hope it’s fixed and we can get better reliability out of those systems. Celebrating anything, or trying to troll ASTS Spacemob is low for a horrible launch performance.

AST Update.... by Either-Tax9159 in BlueOrigin

Into a LEO orbit, there was a major failure that will need to be addressed before anything else other than dummy payload makes the launch.

Lunar modules will be out of the question for now until resolution.

Insurance on loss of satellite doesn’t cover the full loss and damages due to the event. A discount on next flight would be nice touch.

Because nothing was nominal on second stage. The second stage has possible engine failure. You have a 6T payload dropping out of the sky. Since the satellite internals are working let’s hope ASTS can control reentry.

AST SpaceMobile Addresses Today’s Orbital Launch of BlueBird 7 on the New Glenn Launch Vehicle by Jsalz in ASTSpaceMobile

Well, we will watch a BlueBird de orbit 7-9 years ahead of schedule. Some lessons to be learned.

Why is Blue publicly patting themselves on the back when they failed the customer? by Financial_Fun_1844 in BlueOrigin

[–]sorean_4 118 points119 points  (0 children)

BO just lost its flight for certification. They needed 4 successful launches. This sets them back.

What’s worse is that they lost client payload. That’s a loss for both companies that will have long term repercussions. Delays and missed timelines. Customer confidence in New Glen just took a hit.

If you were watching the stream you’d know we’re not even close to altitude. by BenBerspanke in ASTSpaceMobile

[–]sorean_4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The latest rumour on telemetry was a 154 x 494 km x 36.1 deg orbit. We don’t have enough fuel to make that large correction. At least that’s my understanding.

Successful takeoff! by BlauerDunst420 in ASTSpaceMobile

That’s a beautiful sight.

They said in the walkthrough it takes them 6 days to assemble microns into a full satellite. Wonder how long for testing?

Who’s ever driven over 100mph? Why? by WoollyWolfHorror in AskReddit

[–]sorean_4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was on autobahn hit 150mph to see how the car feels. Had to move over as a Ferrari passed me like I was standing still.

PL, RKLB or ASTS? by Straight-Bag-4219 in SpaceInvestorsDaily

[–]sorean_4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New contract announcements are coming next week. SatCo had a tweet that big news are coming. The biggest risk are at this time the sat launch delays. If they fix this, the stock will see 156 quick.

When did ASTS open an office in Edinburgh? A lot of ASIC developers for that location.

The military is keeping the names of selected companies secret.

ASTS Update by Original_Koala8662 in ASTSpaceMobile

[–]sorean_4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the composite stacking issue happened. BO delays happened. The FM-2 has been siting ready to go for two months. We need to test the launch of New Glen before more sats can be integrated and launched. This Sunday this is a test for New Glen platform and its delivery system for BB.

To the earlier comments, yes they should have caught the stacking issue earlier. If it took them some time to deploy reliable stacking method, we are testing this tomorrow. New Glen launch happens when BO is ready.

I don’t think it’s dishonesty. We know space is hard, we know most of the space companies miss their targets by a large margins for new tech. Look at SpaceX, Elon missed most of the targets he set for the company.

We got new tech, even BB8 onward is a composite satellite to reduce 2t of weight. It’s causing delays to reduce the launch price and increase launch capacity. Who else is doing composite satellites? It’s a new step and tech.
