Redwire Space will relaunch the BioFabrication Facility (BFF)—the first American bioprinter in
space. Originally validated onboard the ISS in 2019, the BFF was returned to Earth for refinements
Space Operations: International Space Station: International Space Station Program
ISS RESEARCH
SO-21
(see:
https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/research/experiments/explorer/Facility.html#id=7599).).
Once the BFF is back on the ISS, multiple investigations are slated to leverage its capabilities,
including projects to bioprint human cardiac muscle tissue and human vascular tissue, as well as a
project from the DoD building on their previous investigation using the BFF to bioprint a partial
human meniscus (cartilage of the knee)

will they get even 100 sats in orbit by the end of this decade? ALL of their launches are booked on either arianne 5, vulcan, or new glenn. ESA will find a way to delay A5 past 2025, new glenn is still jjst vaporware and vulcan is entirely limited by BE-4 production (nonexistant) but even if the rockets could launch cumulatively more than once a year I don't think they've even built a single satellite yet, not even a pathfinder

I guess I should have read that tweet >>15275820 before posting, but I instinctively avoid anything related to soicial media

even so, kuiper is still in early alpha testing for prototype sats and probably won't be ready to bake in the design and start mass-manufacturing for at least 2 years, by which time (assumedly) at least one new rocket will be flying regularly

>>15275847
I was right about that a week ago, and I'd still bet money these prototypes are going to have serious teething issues. Starlink did, but it got around that with hilariously excessive upmass.

>>15275860
didn't know that; next question is how many years before they build enough sats to actually use those nine launches

yeah they have 2 prototypes about to launch in may you would assume these are built already

> Two initial prototype satellites “KuiperSat-1” and “KuiperSat-2” were originally planned to be launched in the fourth quarter of 2022 with ABL Space Systems on their RS1 rocket.[3][4] On 12 October 2022, Amazon updated this plan to be on the initial launch of ULA's Vulcan Centaur launch vehicle in "early 2023."[5]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuiper_Systems

from the cnbc article

> The company’s first two prototype satellites are scheduled to launch on the debut mission of United Launch Alliance’s Vulcan rocket, set for May.

Starlink had its first 2 prototypes in 22 February 2018 called
Tintin, the first one on the list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Starlink_and_Starshield_launches

So Starlink is 5 years 3 months (at least) in front with live testing and so on, but maybe Kuiper has done a lot of development for them already
easier to do if you just copy what starlink did so getting some working constellation quicker than 5 years isn't that impossible I dont think
Amazon has some successful projects under its belt after all

Well, they do have a 172k ft2 factory in Kirkland that's supposedly set up for mass production. They should be able to start producing them in large enough quantities to fill their available launchers, but that's only if they're actually settled on the design. I guess they're betting they won't have to make any changes serious enough to require fucking around with their assembly line.

> Badyal told CNBC that Amazon expects to make “minor tweaks” from the prototypes to the commercial version, as the satellites are “almost identical” but represent the first time much of the company’s hardware has flown in space.

> While Amazon has yet to show off its satellites, or reveal many details, Limp noted that the Kuiper spacecraft are “larger mass” than the first generation of SpaceX’s Starlink satellites, with Amazon aiming for “Goldilocks-sizing.” And Amazon expects the performance of its Kuiper satellites to “outperform them significantly” when compared to Starlink, with expected performance of processing up to 1 terabit per second (Tbps) of traffic. The satellites are expected to have a lifespan in space of about seven years, before they need to be replaced.

larger than v1 I guess, probably smaller than V2 mini? and much smaller than V2

>“I don’t have any religious issue not to buy capacity from SpaceX, they’re a very reliable rocket, but the Falcon 9 economically wasn’t the best rocket for us,” Limp explained.

America is the only country with the lifting capacity to build one. If China wanted to right now they'd need to use the LM-5, which currently has a 3/year flight rate. This is why they're working so hard to get their own reusables online. Russia has the Proton and Angara-5, neither of which flies often enough or cheaply enough, and Europe is even worse off with the Ariane 6. Everyone wants a megaconstellation, they just flat out don't have the ability to build one, any more than they have the ability to start building solar power stations out in geostationary orbit.

Debris will potentially stay up there for up to decade depending on the shape and density depending on what it is.

But even more retarded is that you completely dismiss that the modules are probably long since cold welded regardless.

>Interstellar Objects From Broken Dyson Spheres
>Without extensive maintenance, Dyson spheres inevitably disintegrate by asteroid impacts over billions of years. The resulting fragments would appear as anomalous interstellar objects, potentially sharing the unusual shape and motion of 1I/Oumuamua or the unusual material strength of the first two interstellar meteors, IM1 and IM2. If the Dyson sphere tiles are light sails, the number of fragments could exceed that of interstellar asteroids because of their reduced escape speed from the star and the increase in stellar luminosity during the red giant phase.

The suitport is the only reason the xEMU/AxEMU exists. Being able to get in and out quickly is a major improvement over the Apollo suits. It just looks stupid as all hell because you've got softsuit arms and legs dangling impotently off the core of what should be a powered hardsuit. Eventually softsuits will be restricted to IVA or foregone entirely and EVA will be the domain of mini mecha - powered hardsuits with integrated MMUs.

the tubular muscle could be be used to counteract rubber bladder inflation as well as provide extra strength to counteract the inflated rubber bladder
you put on the gloves/suit with muscles relaxed and it all tightens up once you're ready to go outside to make it easy to put on

I don't think you understand that starship is what SpaceX wants to use to send large amounts of humans to Mars, and that SpaceX seriously believes in this goal.
SpaceX designed Starship to be mass-manufacturable for a reason, it makes no sense for them to retire starship before they've even landed several thousand people on Mars.
Falcon 9 has already had a service life of 13 years and its probably going to keep flying until 2030, which would give it a full service life of 20 years, and it isn't designed to be even nearly as manufacturable and cheap as starship.

It's been an accepted idea that in the event of an apocalyptic event governments will unironically seek out psychopaths and violent individuals and place them into positions of power to maintain order. Therefore no matter the feelings of the nigger that wrote that paper the violent police officer would take priority.

Galactic somehow keeps finding more suckers to raise cash or get loans from. They had a billion in cash on last Q4 report and -130M/Q burn rate which would last them well into 2024.
Orbit only had 71M at end of Q3 and a -30M/Q burn rate. Add in the failure in Q1 2023 and it was over unless they could find more investors.

They're not quite officially out just yet. We need a bankruptcy filing for that. They're clearly worth next to nothing at this point, but that might incentivize someone who wants a self-contained launch system to swoop in and buy them up on the cheap.

They didn't, one successful hop was enough. It was a natural progression and their next stage were preparations for the orbital launch and to make it happen, the launch infrastructure has to be finished.
Also, 420 couldn't launch due to structural issues.

It was so unlikely, but it happened. At launch it was supposed to have TWR of 1.25, but one of its five engines failed, resulting in a TWR of around 1.00. Then the vectored thrust from really good avionics kept it upright while it moonwalked the fuck away through an open fence gate.
Once it had burned off enough fuel it ascended, but there was no chance of orbit.

> Astra determined a small propellant leakage from the launcher fueling system caused impacts leading to a single engine failing. This triggered the hover during liftoff and left the rocket without enough thrust to reach orbit.[30]

He told us that internally, during the "Rocket 3 is over" speech, in an attempt to calm people down and defend the rocket's record. The framing was every first stage since LV0006 worked fine, we just had a bad fairing release on LV0008 and a series of problems with the second stage.

I've always wondered why /sfg/ was more /launch vehicle general/. Spaceflight isn't just Falcon 9 and Starship. There's satellites, rovers, landers, the ground segment, software and data analytics, mathematical modelling. Literally everything has a spaceflight application.

you are free to bring up topics like satellites, rovers, landers
the fact is, not much of that happens due to expensive launch
after starship comes online (and becomes mundane after a while), then the discussion will shift into actual payloads more

/sfg/ also tends to talk about in space propulsion, but the most exciting ones are either a regulatory tarpit (NTP) or require testing outside of Earth's magnetosphere which is stupidly expensive because of both launch costs and DSN dish time (magsails/e-sails). The Space Force is working on laser power beaming in space but nobody is testing things like laser thermal propulsion because again, expensive.

Those exotic propulsion systems are in turn required for serious manned interplanetary flight outside the narrow slice of Earth-Mars runs that SpaceX designed Starship to do.
