- This system is used to reduce extreme heat and energy generated by a rocket launch.🚀 On Oct. 15, 2018, the Ignition Overpressure Protection and Sound Suppression water deluge system at Kennedy Space Center's Launch Pad 39B was tested, sending water about 100 feet in the air. The test is part of preparation for launching our Space Launch System rocket on Exploration Mission-1 and subsequent missions.
Modifications were made to the pad after a previous wet flow test, increasing the performance of the system. During launch, this water deluge system will release approximately 450,000 gallons of water across the mobile launcher and Flame Deflector.

When you see a spider on the launch pad.
No
spoonballs *Uno reverse*
That spider be dead**
Pretty sure this was a top secret test attempting to launch water into space
Trying to keep it from seeking its own level! 😂😂😂
@@AlFooteIII you sound like a flat earther
@Hitler Nfriends "But Muh Fuhmuhment"
Well-done you found it
Lies again? Keep Hydrating
This was 450,000 gallons in 1 minute. Niagara Falls pours over 700,000 gallons of water per second. MIND BLOWN!!!!!!
Now we know where Canada should put a launch pad.
@G E T R E K T 905 How are gallons ebonics lol
@G E T R E K T 905 1.7 million liters, since your education also lacks math.
@@Dave-lr2wo we just use a coherent metric system ^^' (also it's better to say 1700m3 of water)
I've been in fire protection my entire professional life - and I have never seen that huge a volume
of water, dispensed that QUICKLY - and over that expanse of an area!
The pumps involved must be massive - and typically with "massive", you don't get "instant",
so this is fascinating to me.
They dont use pumps, its all gravity from a nearby water tower.
No pumps, all head pressure.
Gravity fed, most reliable - can't afford to have it fail.
You right, they would have to be massive but they wouldn't flow that instantly hence that's how you know it's not pumped. It's the entire contents of the nearby water which contains 400,000 gallons/1.5 million liters of water, all of which is discharged in about 30 second which equals a flow rate of 13,300 gallons of water a second!
After watching the SpaceX launch video without using this system, I see why it's necessary.
Yup water deluge play important role on rocket launch..and flame diverter too
*Now that's a lot of water*
-damage-
I saw this spaceship in half!
An AWESOME lot of water, Vlad!!!! :o :o :o :o
California is on the phone
Right? The reservoir 5 minutes up the canyon from my house would gladly take all of that and come back for more.
Just like NASA’s facility at Cape Canaveral California has an ocean right next to it too. Maybe they could look there for a launch platform deluge system supply.
Not anymore we're loaded with water now help me it's flooded
Yes, @dionh70, how is your reservoir set now after your winter snows and rain? Should be briming :-) new report requested.
Finally water cooling that can cool my amd cpu
Still not enough cooling for a GTX 480
i feel ya bro... fx 6350 and rx 480 reference design...
*intel core.
fixed that for you
You must be playing Minecraft on high settings.
You mean your 9900K? lol
This is odly satisfying
I will give it a about a 4/5 stars. I definitely recommend visiting. The landing was a bit rough, but the ride was a blast. A real adrenaline rush. The trick is to stay in the center for the whole ride.
I am sorry, what?
I love the rating system.
they are the water
Good to see progress coming along with the new rockets
Pretty amazing stuff...there are some smart engineers out there for sure
We were just there over Thanksgiving Vacation. Very cool bus tour around the facility, not to mention everything at the Visitor Center there!
The unsung hero of every launch flight
Its not for the rockets, it is for the launch pad.
That's absolutely insane!
what you're looking at are actually the connections that will be hooked up to the mobile launcher, the mobile launcher then distributes the water around the rocket to suppress the noise and cool the deck (just like it was for the Space Shuttle)
the system is fed by the 290' tall water tower in the background
it was installed for Space Shuttle, it was not there for Apollo/Saturn V
Finally someone understands!
At least, one sane person who cared to explain. Thank you.
See kids, this is how you fire off a big 'ole rocket without destroying your launch pad in the process.
It still damaged the base of the Mobile Launch Tower and probably the trench as well, it's not really a valid comparison.
Should have been titled “NASA’s Super Soaker”
"Breaking News: NASA Faces Copyright Strike by Hasbro ('Nerf')"
Oddly enough the inventor of Super Soaker and Nerf (Lonnie Johnson) was worked for NASA at the Jet Propulsion Labs and later was engineer on the Mariner Mk2!
@@FrizbyFerrit the more you know
@@raditiyavalendeto4112 ,The more you are worth !
SpaceX: “What is that?”
Useful in a variety of ways.
Wow! Please make a video explaining how it all works.
Clouds make rain, rain falls, tanks fill with rain, a man opens tanks, tanks release rain as water, water sprays in the air, water falls down, the ground gets very wet, water stops falling, ground drys up, the end.
Water droplets in the air absorb pressure waves from the engines during lift off. The rocket engines are so powerful that they produce sound that can literally rip things apart. When the rocket takes off, all the sound (pressure waves) are directed downwards into the flame trench which is full of water spray. Its stops the sound bouncing off the ground and reflecting back up and damaging the rocket. It also helps keep everything wet and reduce the chance of fires. The launch of the Saturn was so intense, even with the water spraying, that they had to paint all the launch clamps and supports with a white ablative paint that was designed to burn away slowly and thus stop the immense heat from building up and melting everything. Similar to the way an ablative heatshield peels away during re-entry to stop heat building up within the return vehicle.
Buck Fitches now that’s a great comment! Thanks very much for the explanation!
Waters gravity fed from the water tower-no pumps needed; other then to refill the water tower.
;)
That's really cool looking.
Would really like to get some specs of those pumps as this is serious hardcore.
No pumps, straight from the water tower!
Take that Bellagio! You ain't got notin on NASA... Vegas Shmagas.
Actually Bellagio does have this beat. I was there on New Years when they turned them up all the way for maybe 10 seconds. The hotel is 511' tall and it went way, way above the top.
Lmao, talk about a royal flush!
I would like to see that!
This water fountain's grand finale sends a firework 17,000 miles an hour, well over 200... miles... high...
We try not to have the exploding part of that firework scenario though
Makes a great slip n slide for summer !
It's been a experience. Great.
Holy crap! That’s a significant deluge
Amazing view. Super minds.
wow that was awesome
And.. This video has to be one of the most satisfying video on earth..
*great*
Thats some serious pumps! Ive nvr seen this outside of launches, so cool. More info plz!
Woah so cool!
So nerdy. Lovely.
Afrika happy to see this:D
that's so cool to watch
Refreshing!
I've always wanted to learn more about this system even back to the Apollo days it's been ignored
That's pretty cool.
A lot of dirt came out at first. I guess has not been flushed lately. Just head pressure from the tower tank, impressive.
Imagine you're deaf and you were on the walkway thing when it activated
Awesome!
Superb water pad..
So cool!!
that's an iconic fluid simulation for benchmark

Wow! I want one!
@NASA
I would love to a video of those massive pumps behind this :D
Pumps aren't that big. All they do is pump water up to a large tower and hold it there. Then they just dump it all at once. The system is gravity fed
Amazing pumping power
This is quiet a nice water park here!
How long does it take to fill the water tower from scratch?
Probably as long as it took someone to reply to u so 5 dayd
@@beefcakes0623 Is it filled yet?
I like this and I will do this work
Laminar flow!! How much pressure is that? And how many gallons? What does the pumping station look like? The piping has gotta be huuge! I see different colors in the water. What chemicals do you use? And what are their purposes? I have so many more questions!! Lol
The colors in the water are probably from rust and algae.
@@LoanwordEggcorn oh... well thats not as interesting.
There's a water tower in the background I'm guessing it feeds via Gravity from the water tower.
@@LoanwordEggcorn idk why but your comment made me laugh😂
450k gallons
NASA my favorite :)
Wow that an impressive amount of water.
This is truly unbelievable in how much water is applied and then how quickly it is dispersed and all head pressure. Is this a closed system in that the water is recycled or in the event that an incident occurred would it be contained and reused in a pumping system to help fight a larger fire.
Neat!
How bae be early in the morning.
Wish we had this for my Pentium 4 back in the day.
This will definetely fit the SLS's water systems for its SRB'S
😊 Close up of that water rise looks just like rocket 🚀 Takeoff.
That's not actually too far from the truth; One of the largest reasons you see a giant white cloud around all of the launches is because there is a layer of water to absorb the shock of the rocket taking off.
All we need now is a rocket on that pad
Trump / GOP NASA
YES! Let's get this country back in space again!
Have fun with that, wouldn't surprise me if that was all NASA's budget.
Where can one find more info on the equipment and techniques used?
Wow, that would make up a great bathtub!
Wow wow i love that
WOW WOW WOW NICE
My nightmares looked a lot like that after I installed my new water heater with pex and sharkbite fittings.
WOW SO COOL
Amazing! This will save so many lives, congratulations NASA nice job!
This made me thirsty.
Goddammit your comment made me thirsty.
It’s like one of those spray grounds u go to as a kid. Only at this one it’s a lot less fun and involves a lot more death
впечатляет)
Thats quite a fountain they have there. Does it do it to music?
Keeping those pipes clean!
Nice
If it was a water park.. I will just jump in...and maybe die...who cares!?!
Deathclock fan eh?
Not me.
Wow! Tanki! Reference? Gold box?
This induces anxiety of the highest degree
Best vedio
When you can finally use the bathroom that your sister was keeping from you for an hour.
Blastoise used Hydro Pump. It's super effective.
I bet Flint, MI is scratching their heads right now...
That would be fun on a hot day.
Yup... water park is ready for another season!
Эта система используется для уменьшения чрезмерного нагрева и энергии, генерируемой при запуске ракеты. 15 октября 2018 года была испытана система затопления системы защиты от воспламенения от избыточного давления и шумоподавления на стартовой площадке 39B Космического центра Кеннеди, в результате чего вода попала на глубину около 100 футов. воздух. Испытание является частью подготовки к запуску нашей ракеты Space Launch System в рамках исследовательской миссии-1 и последующих миссий.
После предыдущего испытания на текучесть во влажном состоянии в подушку были внесены изменения, что повысило производительность системы. Во время запуска эта система затопления выпустит около 450 000 галлонов воды через мобильную пусковую установку и дефлектор пламени.
Starship could have used all of that today!
I need that water pump for my little water fall in my little pond 😁
Some reason it's so satasfying to watch satasfication level#1000👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👈👈👈
"Was that a good test guys? Was it?" Squirrel outside: "What... what.... WHAT IS LIFE!!!!!"
Just a short question. Did it work as expected?🚀
When you hit right spot 😏
Is that sea water or fresh/distilled water. And does it matter during rocket launch?
Launchpad 39B water Deluge system is awesome 🇺🇸🇺🇸👑👑💕💕water pressure is awesome 🇺🇸🇺🇸👑👑💕💕
Where does the water come from? Does the water tower in the background have anything to do with it? Tower seems too small.
Rebel N Trains also. Pipes are already pre filled.
Big pumps, anyone who knows about water would know gravity from that little tower could not produce that volume and pressure head.
the sea
@@yogibear4682 That "little tower" is 290 feet tall. Nearly twice the height of an average municipal water tower. At that elevation the head pressure alone would be 125 psi.
@@cplcabs It is fresh water.
i want to stand under that.. I WANT IT. How do i arrange this?
If the SLS doesn't work out, you have the start of a pretty decent waterpark.
Amazing! But is this potable water?
Would this water injection system fit a V Tec?
spaaace!
What a lovely Fontaine. 💦⛲️ :)

É nois catioro kkkk
