    SpaceX is now completely focused on getting Starship to orbit. In this video, I look at the new Starlink deployment system on Starship SN24. With SN24's launch anticipated after thorough testing, SpaceX's innovative approach promises a revolution in satellite deployment, and I can’t wait to see this thing in action!

    Hey all - Ewan here! As the creator of this channel, I have never actually put my own voice to any of the 50+ videos I've uploaded. My narrator Beau does a great job, but I wanted to try making a different style of video on the recent Starship developments, so here it goes!

      They'll probably be thrown out a lot slower than in the animations. Also, the header tanks will be full of fuel, so the center of mass is slightly closer than if that were not the case. And there are RCS thrusters that keep the starship orientation in the desired direction anyway.

      The starship will be carrying the satellites, both will go around 17,000 miles per hour. Then the starship will slowly eject them (1 mph?), so the starship will go 17,000 miles per hour and the satellites (if pushed into the direction of travel) will be going 17,000 + 1 miles per hour.

    As always, Elon Musk's companies are very innovative. Even disruptive. With doors of this size minimize sealing. Do you notice which side is the door? Yeah, that's right they thought that too. This mechanism has the opportunity to dispense at the right time and interval programming which gives flexibility. Very clever. The method of Falcon 9 is deployed at once. One problem that I see is the reaction to deployment because you have the Third Law of Mechanics. How do they solve this?

  • @bryanttillman
    @bryanttillman Před rokem

    Since Ship 24 is only going sub-orbital, not only will it not achieve stable orbit, nothing that is ejected from the pez dispensor will achieve orbit either. meaning, Elon can put a bunch of mass simulating boiler-plate versions of Starlinks in the bay and they could burn up too, and there's no risk of having a bunch of dummy sats taking up parking space they arn't making use of. This way he can get this matter out of the way early.

    The dispenser system actually points for Starship being overweight, not allowing the use of a payload hatch. More suited for commercial applications. That system would require more structural reinforcements, adding more weight. Not a surprise if Starship is only used for Starlink missions not farther than LEO.

    • @andriinaum1411

      @@aqeelraja4750 Hasn't made it to orbit, survived re-entry, booster hasn't flown yet, hasn't flown as a complete unit yet, haven't seen all engines even ignited on the ground yet, and the chopstick mechanism hasn't even come close to demonstrating it can catch the thing. Heat shield hasn't shown it can work, but several have fallen off just lighting the engines. No flame diverters.
      But sure, it's not a pipe dream. It just hasn't shown that it can work.

      @@aqeelraja4750 Didn't Musk say we were supposed to be on Mars by 2022? My point is he says a lot of crazy things. Well, lies, actually. It'd be neat to see that thing fly, but if it does, and if corporations take over space exploration, you won't like the result in 50 years. The last time corporations dealt with exploration and colonization, we ended up with the Dutch East India and Hudson's Bay company.
