The key word in there was "regens." The reason why you can't cluster RS-68s is because the ablative carbon nozzle can't take the heat load, hence, the notional regeneratively cooled RS-68s.

>Lunar Dawn: Led by a company called Lunar Outpost, it includes principal partner Lockheed Martin and teammates General Motors, The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, and MDA Space. The vehicle is being designed to not just survive but operate during the lunar night. It will also feature capabilities for robust and diverse commercial use, including a reconfigurable cargo bed that allows for the changing of payloads with a robotic arm.

not sure what kind of mental acrobatics you would have to do to think that, he didn't really expand upon other than saying iterative development sucks so I guess 3 failures is worse than 2 failures and that is why his opinion is dwindling? maybe

> Sierra Space Ghost Enters Flight Test Enabling Global Payload Delivery in 90 Minutes

Sierra Space, a leading commercial space-tech company and next generation defense-tech prime, building a platform in space to benefit life on Earth and protect the freedom of economic activity in the Orbital Age®, has successfully beta tested a revolutionary new logistics spacecraft, Sierra Space Ghost.

This new technology propels Sierra Space into a new era of national security space and space logistics, promising to redefine the way critical defense supplies are delivered across the globe. The Sierra Space Ghost Beta decelerator, part of the company’s recently announced Sierra Space Axelerator™ incubator, is a cutting-edge thermal protection system tailored for the safe return of small payloads from space. See video here and download photos here.

Last month, the first drop test of the Sierra Space Ghost was completed in Florida, enabling Sierra Space test engineers to fully understand the flight characteristics of the system and how recovery operations can be rapidly completed on the ground.

The ability to deliver critical supplies within 90 minutes to any location on Earth is a game-changing technology that could potentially turn the tide of a conflict. With this new technology, the warfighter on the ground could order pre-staged supplies that are waiting in an on-orbit inventory, or positioned with rapid launch capability, and deploy them down to Earth within 100 yards of where they are needed.

i'm of the mind that once HLS is finished then most of the development work on a manned mars ship is going to already be done. what's going to remain at that point is mostly going to be working on the landing/refueling infrastructure on mars and you could start serious work on that by 2030. spitballing, i'd say use the 2031 and 2033 transfer windows for testing prototype landers, land the actual refueling stuff in 2035, and then send people in 2037.

[Anonymous No.16119531]

>>16119494
I think SpaceX is in the "figuring out the hard way" that their rocket won't work perfectly without a lot of development, they'll probably be able to start lobbing experimental starships at mars by the time HLS is working, and have boots on mars in the early 2030s (plus or minus 5 years?)
Of course there's also the risk of legislative interference if them crashing starships on mars makes regulators mad for some reason, or if people die on HLS, so there's risks that could delay it also

Musk said 5 years for cargo, 7-9 years
Mars launch windows in the near future are every 780 days or 26 months: 2024, 2026,2029,2031,2033,2035,2037,2039,2042

2024 is not happening
2026 is possible for cargo, but SpaceX will probably want to concentrate on Artemis and other LEO stuff, so they probably won't launch cargo in 2026 either even if it was theoretically possible if they concentrated on it
2029 is thus the first real opportunity for cargo missions and SpaceX is going to send multiple ships and try to land, they can send them spaced out a bit so they can iterate on the landing procedures if the first ones fail (though can't iterate on the hardware obviously)
if all of the cargo landing starships fail due to some big hardware problem, they will have to launch cargo ships again in 2031 and thus the earliest possible crew missions are pushed back (so not 7 years, but 9 years for first missions)
would be surprised if they aren't able to fix the problems by that time, its not like landing on mars hasn't been done before and spacex has a lot of experience with retropropulsive landing and should have lots of experience with re-entry at that point as well and even if re-entry into earths atmosphere isn't identical, the knowledge should help a lot with mars re-entry
so 9 years sounds pretty reasonable to me
if 2031 cargo doesn't work, then they still have 2035 which would be launch window attempt number 3 for landing cargo and still be within the 15 year window for the first human landings
at that point I think its more of a question, is Musk still on mission? That might be one of the critical factors here, not if the engineering problems can be solved with concentrated effort

I think that as long as you're in the same plane as the moon and your orbit is between LEO and 2 times the altitude of the moon, eclipses can happen. If I had to guess, I would say the lower you are, the more frequent are the eclipses, but they're also shorter

China and Europe have been greatly improving their satnav systems while the US has been lagging behind

China
>With 56 satellites in orbit, China’s BeiDou is now nearly twice the size of GPS. It also has over ten times as many monitoring stations, many of which are in developing nations.
>BeiDou’s larger size is a critical advantage over GPS. A Belfer Center report notes that BeiDou’s larger constellation offers greater PNT data availability and, in some cases, greater accuracy in many areas of the world.
>China also has ambitious plans to enhance BeiDou’s accuracy, security and reliability even further, in part by launching LEO constellations and better sensors.
>The primary concern is that in supplanting GPS’s position as the dominant global satnav service, BeiDou will erode America’s political and economic influence in key regions. Establishing GNSS dominance will consolidate China’s hold on global infrastructure, creating new and stronger dependencies on Chinese technologies, infrastructure, services and diplomacy in various regions. As [BeiDou becomes more dominant] within a country’s infrastructure and economy, China’s influence will increase at the expense of U.S. influence.

Europe
>The U.S. is currently replacing 1990s-era GPS satellites with GPS 3 satellites, [but GPS 3 is a decade behind]. Originally intended to launch in 2014, these satellites [are a small upgrade over] GPS 2, [e.g. 1-3 meter better accuracy], which is worse than Galileo. GPS 3F, which is expected to provide additional capabilities, could take until the mid-2030s to be completed.

Thats because its not space you fucking moron its just the upper atmosphere. And theres a difference in how planes vs satellites are constructed, this satellite is undergoing far less stress but is also built to withstand far less therefore it looks like a plane which undergoes more stress but is built to handle more. Also in orbit theres much less you can dissipate energy from air resistance into so that might be some function of it to absorb the energy by rocking slightly.
