ISRO has in the past year or two started to really shape up as a serious spaceflight organization; chandrayaan 3 beat JAXA to the moon and now they're going to beat *all of europe* to the manned spaceflight tech tree (Axiom 3 does not count). For how tight their budget is, they're a lot more impressive than most other governmental space agencies.

>>16017998
Has SpaceX ever rideshared a single 1.5+ ton spacecraft? I know some of the transporter missions have done more than 1.5t as multiple copies of the same sat (e.g. transporter 1 had 10 starlinks on it), but I don't think they've ever had a singular really big smallsat as one of their customers. The 1-5 metric ton LEO satellite market might actually be the only existing launch market that Falcon 9/heavy doesn't completely dominate.

Aside from the congressional funding issues, It's mostly a result of Clipper and Psyche finishing up their most personnel-intensive periods, and MSR being put on the back burner at the same time. It's really more of a localized perfect storm of low work demand for JPL staff than a long term issue.

> The US military’s scheme to diversify its stable of rocketmakers is running into a problem: None of them is likely to fly their rockets on time.
>MIA: The US launchers widely seen as aiming for Lane 1—Rocket Lab, Relativity Space, Firefly, and ABL Space Systems—are unlikely to reach orbit by the Dec. 15 deadline to qualify for this year’s batch of awards. The closest is Rocket Lab, which expects its Neutron rocket to be “on the pad” by the end of the year, according to a spokesperson.

>“The Transporter program was created a few years ago with, in my opinion, the sole purpose of trying to kill new entrants like us,” said Sandy Tirtey, director of global commercial launch services at Rocket Lab, during a panel at the SmallSat Symposium here Feb. 7. “Yet, we are still flying because we offer something unique.”
>That uniqueness, he argued, is the ability to fly missions to specific orbits not served by Transporter rideshare missions. An example is Rocket Lab’s next Electron launch, which will place into orbit the ADRAS-J inspector satellite for Astroscale. That mission requires a specific, precise orbit so that ADRAS-J can rendezvous with a derelict Japanese upper stage.

I think they're too scared to admit a delay and get sued by investors. They said 2024 at the very beginning in 2021, and ever since then they haven't concretely said if Neutron will launch in 2024 because they know it won't.

https://rogue.space/suspension_of_barry1_operations

>Rogue Space Systems operations team is announcing the suspension of the active phase of our first on orbit mission. Barry 1 was launched on November 11, 2023, and has been in orbit since then. It was designed to test our Scalable Compute Platform (SCP) and its ability to aggregate data from multiple sensors and process that data in real time. We had ongoing power-system issues on the bus through LEOP (Launch and Early Orbit Phase), and after two months of operations, towards the end of LEOP, we lost communication with the satellite. Rogue performed some testing of the SCP and never had the opportunity to test the IVO drive. “I’d like to take the opportunity to praise IVO for being a great customer, and we are in discussions on a second attempt during one of our upcoming new missions.” -Jon Beam, CEO

>We are currently investigating the cause of the loss of communication and will provide updates as we learn more. We will continue to attempt to re-establish communication with the satellite and are offering IVO the opportunity to fly on the upcoming Rogue hosting missions launching in 2025. Despite the loss of communication, we met many goals with the mission, including some testing on SCP. We would like to take this time to thank the hundreds of team members, partners, investors, friends, and family that have given us so much support and encouragement as we’ve made this huge step as a space company!

I can see a military rationale for air-launch, as a wartime launch system that exists as an intermediary, in terms of cost-efficiency and resilience, between normal pad-dependent launch systems and wartime truck-based launch systems

1. Assuming the rocket can run on jet fuel, any airport with an industrial lox source nearby can function as a spaceport, while still benefiting from the cost-efficiency and reusability potential of using liquid propellant

2. Launch is more immune to bad weather, which means you can count on the payload launching when its needed to support a military operation (because if launched ahead of time, it might not survive for many orbits before being shot down)

So it makes some sense that CASC is supposedly working on an air-launched reusable rocket. Even if it is primarily intended as a wartime system, they'll still use it a lot in peacetime, like they use KZ-1A a lot

What do you mean by radar blocking shield?

Would it be cleverly shaped like a stealth aircraft to deflect radio waves in a specific direction away from the emitter? I don't think that would work. Stealth aircraft are only stealthy from particular angles. Satellites race across the sky and are exposed at many angles to many radars. If you see a satellite just once then you know quite well where it will be for the foreseeable future.

Maybe it's the best, however I doubt they can reliably stop every submarine or bomber from getting within missile firing range of the coastline. SLCMs have ranges of up to 3,000km, SLBMs have ranges even longer. The Russians have an assortment of missiles to go with their Tu-160M supersonic bomber, including a 6,500km range missile. The Chinese are working on a stealth bomber. It seems very risky to count on them all being intercepted before reaching the launch point or on all missiles being intercepted. Regardless, it doesn't solve the ICBM problem.

Clearly, not even the US military itself believes the the US is an untouchable fortress. Hence why they have more resilient systems for launching the nukes

In September 2023, he launched aboard Soyuz MS-24. He is assigned for a year mission with his Russian crew member Nikolai Chub that started on September 15, 2023. If the mission lasts 300-365 days, Kononenko will have spent a total of 1,036-1,101 days in space. He broke the world record of 878 days in space held by Gennady Padalka on February 4, 2024 at 07:30:08 UTC. He is expected to also be the first person to reach 1000 days in space on June 5, 2024.

lets say in the next test they will successfully "land" the booster on water. what will happen with it afterwards? will they just let it become a wrack in the ocean? or will they try to retrieve it? retrieving seems to be too hard and just letting it in the ocean seems to make a good opportunity for industrial espionage.

My guesses

1. Vulcan covers a different payload range than NG, and might be more cost-efficient and suitable than NG to use for certain missions (e.g. Dreamchaser and Starliner to service Orbital Reef). The up-front costs of Vulcan are already paid for anyway, and BO can benefit from economies of scale while keeping both rockets around, since both Vulcan and NG use the BE-4 engine.

2. BO might want to shift some of ULA's proven R&D and production abilities to other activities than Vulcan, especially R&D now that Vulcan is at the tail end of its R&D cycle with no real successor in the pipeline. Both companies have major production facilities near each other in Huntsville/Decatur, and they have already been cooperating for years on R&D and testing, so the companies would be relatively easy to merge.

3. BO can have better margins than ULA on much of ULA's business if they use NG to launch them. BO could try competing directly for ULA's contracts however politics and schedule uncertainty of NG get in the way

The up-front costs of Vulcan are already paid for anyway, and BO can benefit from economies of scale while keeping both rockets around, since both Vulcan and NG use the BE-4 engine.
