    Dynetics’ moon lander would be almost completely reusable save for a few drop tanks during its descent to the lunar surface. In this video, we’ll take a look at Dynetics’ lander design and how it fits in the overall Artemis program, and how its mockup will help the company further iterate its lunar vehicle.

    Do you think NASA will ultimately choose Dynetics’ proposal to send astronauts to the surface of the Moon during the Artemis 3 mission or other missions beyond? Comment below!

    Dynetics' Alpaca HLS spacecraft reminds me, very vaguely, of Space: 1999's Eagles. I am very impressed by the re-usability and versatility of this vehicle. It offers so much ability in such a (relatively) small package. Is SpaceX can't get its BFR "Starship" vehicle up and running in time for Artemis Three, maybe it will be showtime for Dynetics instead. Details probably are not available, ever today in 2023, but it would be interesting to learn more about it if more information becomes available in the future. How much does the Alpaca crew module weigh? What is that crew module mode of, metal or carbon fiber composite? Is this the maximum payload the vehicle can safely carry to and from the lunar surface? If an Alpaca were to carry a Sierra Space L.I.F.E. habitat inflatable module (for a moon basecamp) instead, how large could that module practically be? Would it be possible to use Alpaca with a LOFTID-style inflatable heat shield, drogues and parachutes for use as an HLS lander for a mission to Mars?

    The model of the science fiction series Space 1999 called Eagle is very large that Dynetic had to develop to compete with the starships because that presented was an old miniature of an EAGLE. It should incorporate the Dream Chaser in the front in this model czcams.com/video/SWGuc0JGg7Q/video.html

    If a change of administration negatively impacts the Artemis Program, as some in the comments are reasonably speculating, I think it could be a good thing. No commercial marketplace should depend as tightly in congressional funding is the space industry does. If NASA went away today, almost all off-planet activities would cease. Telecoms, remote sensing, and a few other key revenue sources would persist, but that's a far cry from what we know is attainable: space is more that satellites! Something needs to happen up there (and I guess, down here) so that it'll become financially viable for private companies to do all manner of things in space without so much as batting an eye

    • @Ajax1984
      @Ajax1984 Před 3 lety

      I very much doubt a change in admin will impact Artemis negatively, if anything a change in admin is likely to give NASA a more realistic approach to Artemis. Seeing as you have atm, a President who doesn't want to work with Congress & Artemis is going nowhere soon as long as you have a split Congress (as is likely to continue no matter who wins). While under a Democratic admin, you're likely to see more of a bipartisan approach to Artemis & it's too far along to cancel (& not pie in the sky like Constellation was in many ways compared to Artemis), so why not continue it?

    As per angry astronaut - why not Starship to get the payload to the moon - then multiple dynetics landings to the surface - that way we get the payload to the moon and elon does not have to work out how to land on moon. You could go all the way - and have astronauts launched seperately on crew dragons to get them on/off earth - then starship as main payload and crew quarters - dynetics as moon lander - basically reducing overall risk while having lots of payload to moon.
