Nachlese Starship IFT-12

".. SpaceX hat es geschafft, dass Triebwerksausfälle nicht mehr zur Explosion führen. Das war es aber auch schon. Es sind die neuen Raptor 3 nicht zuverlässiger als die Raptor 2 und damit schwebt über jedem Start ein Damoklesschwert. .."

Starship wird keinen Raptor in space relight probieren.

Starship wirft Massensimulatoren aus, außerdem sind zwei Geräte mit Kameras, die Bilder vom Hitzeschild machen sollen, dabei, die zum Schluss ausgeworfen werden sollen.

Beim letzten Versuch hat ein hydraulisch zu bewegender Bolzen den Quick Disconnect Arm kurz vor der (nicht erfolgten) Zündung nicht freigegeben (lt. Musk). Heute Nacht wohl ein neuer Versuch.

Ein Teil der Anlagen am neuen Pad scheinen mir noch nicht wirklich rund zu laufen.
