- Due to scheduling difficulties this is more than a week late, and there's a lot of news to share. With limited bandwidth we only got a few images from the moon so far, and Japan managed to bring its lander back to life after a night on the lunar surface.
India selects their astronauts for their first human space flight.
Varda shares and amazing video of their capsule reentry and SpaceX continue to set new records.

Falling over uphill increases your chances of being able to successfully take off again after falling over. Wait, this is not KSP...
Rushed in-flight staging fix and Lithobraking worked, Kerbal landing worked even twice, Chinese demonstrated successful Booster Bundle launch. Might as well try this!
to be fair, an obliterate can happen quite often in KSP
Just crank that reaction wheel to 100% and wiggles it upward.
Failing upward is how most people become CEO so there is a lesson to be learned here

Feb 29 is undoubtedly the best day to leap into orbit.
Please show yourself out.
**ba dum tsssss** 😂
Leap day was earlier in February . Originally there was no 29th, just a double long day near what is now named the Feb 24 .
You are in fine fooling. I love Dad jokes.
@@jolyonfolkett2677 Allow me to invite you to my Fluoride Dioxide Lanthanum fueled rocket launch on April 1st.
To be fair to NASA, if my legs broke I'd probably fall over too!
It was a terrible design.
@@Grizazzlethe design worked fine. It was a software and human error problem
It wasn't a NASA vehicle.
wait... you've got legs too?

NZer here! Great to see India making huge strides with their space program!
Best wishes to them with their astronauts! Jai Hind!
Agreed, from the other side of the ditch! I have a couple of good friends from India and have been there long ago and loved it, so I can’t wait to see India put people into orbit. I have a huge soft spot for that country! I’ve never been to UnZud though… we have direct Air New Zealand flights to and from Aukland here in Hobart, so maybe…
Edit: How about the cricket?🇦🇺😉🤣
Thanks for your precious comments praising ISRO.

On the topic of going nuclear, the 1st March also marks the 70th anniversary of the Castle Bravo thermonuclear test.
Godzilla is getting old
It would be nice if every test overperformed.
Lithium 7?
@@DrDeuteronYep. It was supposed to be a 6 MT yield and it came out around 15 MT because everyone figured that Li-7 (which made up 60% of the lithium in the bomb) absorbs a neutron to become Li-8, later spitting out a neutron to decay back to Li-7. Apparently, no one had actually checked to see what Li-7 does when bombarded with the type of high-energy neutrons in a nuclear detonation. Li-7 does not absorb the neutron, but instead fissions into tritium and helium, and the former fused with some of the deuterium that would have gone unused, greatly enhancing the output.
Oops.
That's the most Japanese looking rocket ever...the proportions, color scheme and those cute little boosters
How it didn't end up with the name P-3N-15 is beyond me.
@@kmech3rdthe people in charge of naming that probably weren’t dirty minded jokers, also they wanted to keep name continuity with the previous H series rockets

is it though?
The crewed Indian flight and the crewed Starliner should be very exciting !
Love the Doofenshmirtz reference!!
Given the current state of Roscosmos, I wonder how ISRO will handle future crew training now that they have their first batch of astronauts trained up (or largely trained up at least). I think it’ll be interesting to see India grow into a sort of alternate space power to the US and China. Perhaps they end up taking the mantle left vacant by Russia as a 3rd leg of human Spaceflight and exploration.
PS: Yes Europe and Japan have an astronaut corp, but Japan probably doesn’t have the ambition of ISRO and Europe is dragging its feet when it comes to launch vehicles and crewed systems.
There is already a facility which is created for astronaut training in Bangalore. After initial launches, I think all the training will be done here only.
Europe is buying a DreamChaser from Sierra Space for launch from Guyana next year.
What's wrong with ROSCOSMOS?
specifically the crew training part ?
It's a kind of experience you can't get with a few flights.
@allangibson8494 Dream Chaser isn't human-rated (at best it is 2 years away), nor is Ariane 6 (with no plans to human-rate the system). Given that Arianespace using new soyuz launch vehicles is quite unlikely at this point, and that Vega can't lift it, what booster would be used to launch a Dream Chaser from Guyana?
@@allangibson8494 You cannot call using Dream Chaser as "Europe have the capability to send humans to space"
That unedited reentry footage is really crazy
I'd love to see a breakdown on how one can spend 2 billion dollars on the development of a refuelling robot.
Simply imagine money shoveled out of a window.
You're welcome.
Easy. Spend a billion dollars to try to do it the first time. Then try it again to succeed. (I mean this a joke - remember, “space anything” is $$$.)
Try refueling a car with the fuel cap safety wired closed from the far side of the planet…
@@allangibson8494and needing to burn a hundred times the mass of your equipment in fuel in exceedingly powerful engines that aren't allowed to fail before you can use it
... but all the jokes aside, refuelling of satellites in orbit would a good thing. As of now, when satellites run out of fuel, they need to be "retired" even though they're still fully functional technically. In orbit refuelling will save on expenses of building new satellites as replacements to the retired ones. The refuelling vehicle might have a refuelling function and an orbit boosting function if the satellite's obit has decayed.
I’d love to see a complete breakdown of the Varda reentry video, explaining what all the different colors in the plasma mean and things of that nature
Purple, it's hot but not much of it. Pink it's hot and there's a lot of it.
Gold sparks, it's hot and those are bits of your space ship looking pretty.😂
It may be 3am here, but I always stay up for your videos mate. Thanks as always for your informative videos Scott.
Much appreciated
@@scottmanley👍
6:45 "MY LEG!"
Thanks again for the update Scott!
Great video Scott, thanks for all the work putting it together.
Thank you, KSP, for getting us these new designs. /s
Reaction wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round....
🎶(ツ) ☕☕🤪🎶
Thanks, Scott for an excellent roundup summary video. It's all fascinating stuff!!
Great update Scott! Lots going on, thanks for gathering and sharing!!
bit of lipsync issues in today's video... but thanks very much for all the updates !! I'm up to speed now
I didn't have that problem. Maybe it was a connectivity issue? Or maybe I just missed it? Not sure...
I had it, noticed it in the ingenuity talk part
Oh good, I was worried it was an issue with my computer.
I noticed it as well
Thanks Scott!
Outstanding stuff! Thanks Scott :)
Omg I worked on the concept project for in-orbit attitude characterization for Astroscale for my senior capstone a few years back, I wonder if they ended up using the same concepts from our prototype. 1:59
Wonderful. I look forward to updates in which you need to clarify which Pioneer you're talking about EVERY TIME.
"The pioneer probes. No, the other one. "
That Varda capsule reentry video was pretty amazing! So many colours in the plasma, and such a blue skyline. I hope we get more videos like this in the future.
I'm waiting for news from ISRO about the Aditya L1 mission. It reached L1 point some time back. But I haven't seen any major updates yet. Other than the few photos ISRO shared of the Sun as seen through by one of it's instruments
Missions for studying the sun doesn't generate any excitement for anyone outside of academia
@@sidharthcs2110 I mean sure, but I like gareeb scientist and his technical dives. And similarly I don't mind going a bit deep into topics like the sun, but yeah I get you, it isn't as flashy as landing on the moon for most
Varda proves 70's scifi tv special effects were hyper realistic.
Congrats on appearing in the NYT article!
I read the title and imagined a similar "Country names its first Mars astronauts" and then a video about the people running that country's space program touring a room full of newborns, and pointing at one, "That is the systems engineer..."
I am thankful for you. I do not necessarily understand the physics nor chemistry. You make these approachable. Thank you.
As a graduate student who does research in a university research lab, the software glitches that the these moon missions experience are extremely difficult to find. It is in a branch of robotics called state estimation. The difficulty goes way up when you have sensor fault detection, which don’t have the same range of tools as the rest of state estimation to use to ensure accuracy. So while it is a trend in recent moon missions, the problem plagues any system that can’t use things like GPS, and is even difficult when you do have access to it.
7:32
As a software engineer, I'd be happy to blame those things you describe on state estimation (and wouldn't call them software glitches), but at the same time I would be questioning if there's something I could have done given the freedom to ignore specific instrumentation.
Scott can land a tall thing on the Mun using a number of things including gravity retrograde, ascent speed, ground angle, horizontal velocity and a rough visual guess of distance to the surface often based on shadows. It seems the state estimation needs to get a lot better.
@@Bystander333 I completely agree, with my vast experience (sarcasm) it seems to me you should be able to put a sensor on probation and then bring it back either as it’s measurements stabilize or on reboot. I’m almost positive this would have solved the Hakuto-R radar issue. I’ve done this for applications before, it’s a process called measurement gating. Granted I’m sure they have reasons for not doing these things.
Not a software engineer at all, but the IM-1 guidance software was running without one of the most basic inputs it was designed around. The lidar couldn't be turned on. Another lidar was available on an independent experiment package but the team had only a couple of hours to patch it in. It was when running that that it couldn't provide real-time position data. I don't think the IM-1 software can be judged until it gets to run on the next landing.
@@donjones4719 Fair point!
@@Bystander333There is nothing you can do to prevent an ID10T error. In layman's terms, they forgot to remove the cover on the LIDAR sensor before lift-off.
Maybe a sensor check before lift-off could have prevented this, but I don't think the payload is open during launch, so you will have to place a sensor to see if the sensor is unblocked. Then you will have to place another sensor to see if the previous sensor is working, and so on.
If programs get smarter, users just get even dumber. They will find a way to mess things up.
Everybody say "Thank you Japan" for cleaning up spacejunk :)
E"verybody say 'Thank you Elon' for all your space trash.
@@allancopland1768 there was decades worth of crap up there already, and if you pay attention to the news/various channels they deorbit Starlink sats that are at the end of their life. They're doing so right now
Just like World Cup matches
@@allancopland1768 Starlink satellites are designed with built in de-orbit capabilities upon end of life, and are also initially put in low orbits designed to quickly de-orbit should a satellite be non-operational immediately after launch. Furthermore, SpaceX monitors potential collisions and maintains maneuvering capabilities for their satellites throughout their orbital life to avoid on-orbit collisions. So far, SpaceX has de-orbited several hundred satellites in order to help keep LEO free of debris. As far as I understand, SpaceX to date has not been a contributor to the space trash problem.
NASA is not allowed to develop something that could potential grab other nation's satellites.
I just want to become a aerospace engineer at ISRO!!!
The Parkes Dish in Australia has got a great little movie made about it's mission in 1969 Apollo 11 landing, the movie is called the Dish.
Thanks Scott.
My understanding, for that lander that fell over, was that there was a LIDAR unit that was supposed to check the altitude of the craft that - wasn't able to do that - so they used a different device.
.
I can’t believe how popular that Doofenschmirtz meme has gotten all of a sudden. That episode must have aired l… 15 years ago?
We are coming,yeah .howdy !
@12:28: The New Glenn pathfinder is there for propellant and mechanical testing, it does not have landing legs or engines because they are not needed for this. The tests have been spotted by Max Evans and the NSF folks on their live video feeds showing venting from the 1st stage. These tests use liquid nitrogen in lieu of LOX/LNG. Once the tests are done, they will roll the pathfinder back, refit it, install the engines, and then roll it back out for another series of tests which will conclude with a static hotfire. If all of that goes well, we'll then see the first launch this year, hopefully with ESCAPADE on board.
This lipsync is pretty spot on!
FYI, Scott: around 11:52 the audio desyncs with the video. Not sure if the issues is on your side or if its a problem with YT's playback.
you should do a short video on the wild launch trajectory of the H3
Whenever I hear mass simulator now I assume it must be a car. Probably a Toyota this time.
Jetski.
do a video on numerical recipes in C. That book on your shelf looks interesting.
Scott, nice video as always! Is it just me, but I notice that the Starship stack develops a large yaw just before hot staging. It is very noticeable on other videos from the Nasa photo aircraft and even be seen on this video as well. Hope data from IFT2 allows the engineers to refine the flight control laws, which seem to have issues even before the staging.
Go India!
6:58 yay for Juno:NO gameplay!
An article I read attibuted Odysseus's excess vertical and lateral speed to the lack of real-time coordination between the flight computer and the NASA experimental ranging system that they had to use thanks to the person who forgot to arm the primary. Scott says something here about a software issue but doesn't say if it's as my other source describes.
Since you mentioned it, I guess you are going to miss those two nickels.
We love you, thank you very much,
Hey Scott have you seen the new video from ARCA space? Man it's crazy 😮
It's Scott Manley! 🎉
One additional deep space update, the BAE Systems acquisition of Ball Aerospace has officially closed, and we are now the new Space and Mission Systems division.
Your pronunciation is perfect.
India already had an astronaut in space in Rakesh Sharma. He flew aboard Soyuz T-11 on 3 April 1984 as part of the Soviet Interkosmos programme.
Yeah but this is going to be the first time on an indigenously built rocket.
Thanks for the updates, Scott! 😊
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I wouldn't be surprised if the design of that progress docking section goes back to the salyut stations.
Uphill leg rebounded after drag bounced on the others
The OSAM project looks really cool, I'm a bit sad that it was cancelled.
"Trust me bro! I got the idea when I spilled my bong water!"
13:15 One of the astronauts on Crew-8, Jeanette Epps, was originally assigned in 2020 to the Starliner-1 mission. I'm sure she's very happy that she's now flying on Dragon.
(The first Starliner mission with crew is the CFT, Sunita Wlilliam's mission. Starliner-1 will be the first one to take a full crew of 4 up for a full multi-month mission.)
I know the software's complexity is orders of magnitude higher, compared to the Apollo days, but Don Eyles must be feeling pretty good about the work he did back then.
Got a question for you, Scott...those panels that fall off the Chinese, Japanese, and Indian rockets, do you have any idea what they do with those afterwards and if there are any benefits/drawbacks to using those vs how we launch rockets here without them?
Ice prevention foam. Scott has a good video on the subject
6:07 did Scott Manley just make a Phineas and Ferb reference lol?
No. This is a very standard saying.
He's about 20 years too old for P&F
@@angusmatheson8906 The standard saying is "If I had a nickel for every time [X happened], I'd be rich." However, in "Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension" Dr. Doofenshmirtz says exactly "Wow! If I had a nickel for every time I was doomed by a puppet, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. Right?" So Scott is most certainly making a reference to that.
@@lukephillips5618it did take a life of its own on the internet though. This version, I mean. He may not know of its origins.
Good to see you've survived that nasty vacuum cleaner attack last time, Scott! 🙃
20m? That's tight!
I guess they didnt completely learn from those early SpaceX designs when they launched and landed those grain silos.
Has Scott ever talked about the problems with NASA's manned lunar mission brought up via presentation by Destin from Smarter Every Day channel?
have you considered going to india for a significant launch could be cool to have a man on the ground.
FYI Yur audio kinda glitched a bit. Idk if it is hardware related or if your microphone has any issues but other than that I enjoy all of these deep space updates.

Thank you, sir.
You've mentioned viewing Vandy launches fron the Bay area. Any hints for spectators? I've worked at two rocket companies and two satellite organizations (four satellites in orbit) and have never seen a lauhch!
“The theater is packed, so get out there and break a leg, baby!”

Just here to inform scott that matt did in fact check his staging.
When you tell him, "go break a leg!" but he takes it literally.

The Canon spacecraft is super interesting to me. How many other companies have cool side projects like that where they are just building satellites and putting things like cameras on it?
Little tipsy after the ride,who wouldn't be 😂
06:21 it was a semi-dis-fankling rather that an unrolling
10:45 look at those welds...
Looks like aluminium welds, which is a challenging material to weld, because of how well it conducts heat away from the weld zone and the difficulty to pierce the tough aluminium oxide layer on the surface. Looks like a part of a frame instead of a pressure vessel, so probably good enough for a prototype. Maybe they plan to replace it for electron beam welding in the future, and didn't care to improve on weld looks so long weld strength was still ok?
Good catch though, cause looks bit rough, and likely something that raised some discussion.
@@Tuning3434 Yeah, aluminium is challenging compared to normal construction steel, but that looks like a first year apprentice TIG welded that. I'm sure they did a X-ray for welding defects, but jeez, someone was inconsistent with the filler rod.
Oh, and that oxide layer and the heat conduction is really not a problem as long as you clean the aluminium well, and use alternating polarity, almost all TIG invertors can do this, with adjustable duty cycle, you can choose the voltage over both negative and positive polarity as well. The real challenge is how much aluminium warps and deforms with heat.
Scott, please reframe Dark Bramble poster on the wall behind you! It is slipping in the frame!
mishap report quotes I've seen seemed to imply the booster didn't explode due to FTS at all, unlike it clearly mentioned FTS for starship? Does anyone know if booster 9 categorically activated FTS?
I think too many engineers grew up playing KSP and thinking falling over was the normal and expected outcome! 😂
A need for a new Robot Arm in Space?
As a Canadian that makes me rock hard
I presume all this software goes through simulated landings and even hardware integration testing where the actual hardware can be ordered to provide simulated inputs and then the outputs are taken and run through a physics simulator to choose the next round of inputs. Yes? If not why not?
""Who'd put a dish in the midddle of a sheep paddock?" The dish at parkes does it again!!
Thanks for the update on space missions. Talking about the IM spacecraft you said 'software issues' were the cause of flipping over. I tnink it is more a H/W issue and some speculate it was more of a procedure issue (not releasing the safety switches of lasers) and some (IM mgt) pointing at financial reasons (cost of pre-flight ground tests) that resulted in 'unfolding' of mission. Is 'unfolding' equivalent to partial loss or total loss of mission ? this is purely mechanical: where do one sit: taxpayer, IM Mgt or stock holders, NASA,... :-)
It didn't flip over. The cause was human error in leaving a safety switch on. All payloads on the mission transmitted data before it went into standby mode for the lunar night. In another 10 days or so they're going to try to wake it up again.
@@Objectified if you don't call it flip over, tumble or laying on its side with at least one broken leg, what do you call it A complete success ?
'Mass simulator'? Isn't that just... a mass? Absent of course some other cool way of generating inertia that I'm unaware of
Explorer and Pioneer have both already been used as names for space hardware. WTH, Rocket Lab?
it would fall up hill because the up hill leg would hit the ground and break first. That leg breaking may well have saved the entire remains of the mission. I hope there are some decent remains left
"He's no fun. He fell right over!"
I'll be very surprised if there are negative Gs for the booster at separation for IFT-3.
