> The spacewalkers will go through a “test matrix” to collect data on the performance of the EVA suits. “This is looking at mobility, movement in this microgravity environment, how the suit is performing,” she said. “There’s a whole series of test questions that will be stepped through for the time outside the spacecraft.”

I got nerd sniped by this. Assuming that the plane's horizontal speed is the same in the lunar sim case as it is for the zero g case (which it would be if vertical velocity at trajectory exit is the governing parameter), that's about 30 seconds of sim time. If instead the absolute speed at trajectory exit is the governing parameter, then that stretches to 41 seconds. I was kinda hoping for more than that looking at how chill the observers are in the photo.

A zero-prebreathe suit would be difficult but certainly not impossible for SpaceX. Combined with the necessary added mobility joints to meet mobility demand for surface activities, such a suit would likely end up much more complex and bulky. There's a reason the AxEMU (which was specifically designed to operate at zero-prebreathe pressures) is so massive.

[Anonymous No.16161466]

>>16161464
what if you added some powered joints, some quasi exoskeleton?

[Anonymous No.16161485]

>>16161466
that's always an option, and a popular one, at that. Of course, that introduces several new sets of complexities, challenges, and risks posed to the astronaut. A powered exoskeleton would require you to design an entirely new mobility architecture atop the architecture of the pressure garment. That could get quite bulky and heavy. You'll also have to worry about power, both in terms of consumption and storage. Batteries are heavy. Then there's the issue of keeping those joints working in vacuum without overheating. Do you use your water cooling loop to cool all these electronics? Now you've doubled your water consumption. Also, let's hope that literally none of this malfunctions, lest your astronaut get turned into a gimp mid-way through his EVA.

In the end, I'd say it's much cheaper, safer, and more reliable to just design a more robust pressure garment. In my opinion, the AxEMU is effective, but overkill. I believe you can get similar performance out of a much lighter weight EMU.

how did the threads get split?

[Anonymous No.16161549]

>>16161536
Yes, only because of the reason you've mentioned. That does not make the suit a zero-prebreathe suit by definition, since you could not jump from 1 Atm to the suit's pressure of 5.1 psi without prebreathing first. The technique of gradually dropping the pressure within the spacecraft to reduce or eliminate prebreathe time has been used since way back, and allows you to use spacesuits with relatively low operating pressures without needing to put hours aside for prebreathing before each EVA.

Zero-prebreathe suits are desirable for contexts where you're jumping from and to high pressure (so, at or near 14.7 psi, one atmosphere), such as the ISS.

I got accused of being a troll for pointing out the tile thing. Starship can avoid most debris strikes on ascent due to not being side mounted like shuttle, but acoustics were a major cause of tile damage on shuttle and clearly cause dozens to fall off on starship launch. And even if that is fixed I don't see the shield being fully reusable. They will have to replace loads of tiles every mission which will prevent rapid reuse. I think peak heating on starship is higher than shuttle, and shuttle typically had to replace a few tiles from heat damage every mission.

[Anonymous No.16161632]

>>16161621
Titanium was very hard for America to source in large quantities during the cold war as most titanium ore was found in Russia. The CIA had to set up a complex string of dummy corporations to buy stock from Soviet exporters so Lockheed would have enough metal to build the SR-71. Something like that was probably impractical for the Shuttle given how public and high profile the project was.

I knew some retard would say that, so here goes, every single one of the hundreds of F-15 fighters made in the US during the 1970s had a titanium main spar joining the wings, along with every single one of the hundreds of A-10 ground attack planes having a titanium tub to protect the pilot, and these, along with many other industrial and military programs in the US that required titanium, used hundreds of tons of it per year, and that which was in excess of what South Africa could provide, originated in the Soviet Union, which used to sell large quantities of titanium to shell companies in the West, who were largely buying for the military/industrial complex, so don't tell me the FOUR space shuttle frames constructed by Rockwell in the late 70s couldn't have made the spar that runs the length of the wing from titanium, as it would have been trivial in quantity compared to the total amount being used every year by aerospace manufacturers in the US, and NO, using it on the civilian NASA shuttle wouldn't have been "problematic", no matter where the origin, as using it in the construction of weapons/spy planes was.

Nothing, actually, although it certainly isn't free. Without any public details though the scope of the assistance is unknown. Griffin is on record as being absolutely furious that NASA can't meddle in HLS/Starship because it isn't a cost-plus structure that lets NASA continually review the work and make change orders. That said, they're more than happy to provide "advice and expertise" but it'd take an official disclosure from the OIG to find out how that work is tracked and billed. This is the kind of thing that makes the scientists anxious as hell that Artemis is stealing money from other directorate budgets.

2: mostly a success, some teething issues: the toilet breaks, astronauts complain, issues on docking with ISS.
3: Mission control loses contact with starliner for extended period, commence panic. Turns out it was a nothingburger and everything is fine.
4: similar issues to last time, jeetcode forces astronauts take control and earn their paycheck, other than that, things go to plan. Boeing was right all along.
5: starliner does the thing NASA predicted it would do if it made it to the ISS last time. minor collision event.
6: Atlas V shits the bed. abort on launch. Unjust end for starliner.
7: depressurization event ala soyuz 11. IVA suits save the crew and flight is aborted.
8: flight is aborted, but parachutes fail catastrophically, severely injuring the crew.
9: total failure, loss of life due to some stupid mistake. starliner goes in the bin and after a news cycle and a period of mourning everything goes back to normal.
0: complete failure and total loss, possibly involving the ISS, internationally publicized spaceflight travesty. US gov temp bans all spaceflight for investigation into NASA contract policy.

Yet flerfers exist, and if the government was pushing it as the official narrative then 90% of normies would believe it even if they had cognitive dissonance to do so. I don't think the chink government will officially come out and say they were the first to land men on the moon, but they will dogwhistle and push that message through alternative media. Within our lifetimes we wont reach a point where anyone can visit an apollo landing site to prove for themselves, so there will be enough plausible deniability. And they could just shift the goalposts and say sure the landings happened but they were done by computer and the spacewalks were filmed in hollywood.

>Boeing didn't run a single integrated flight software test end-to-end, but divided it into chunks, if they had they would have probably caught the errors that made OFT-1 of starliner fail
>not being vertically integrated meant everything that passed silos lines took a long time, an example given was that if a rocketdyne engineer working on propulsion wanted to connect to the service module with some widget, it might mean a dozen people in different companies and departments would have to get involved
>an anomaly in 2018 during a hotfire test that dumped 4000 pounds of monomethylhydrazine on the test stand was at least partly caused by bad communication between boeing and rocketdyne due to the companies hating eachother (why? boeing saw rocketdyne as a partner, rocketdyne saw itself as a contractor and asked a change order fee after some system specs were changed)

Quotes from the article
>Boeing's best people were focused on the aircraft crisis, and the experienced space hands were leaving [or retiring in a accelerated way due to the pandemic].
>The surprise is not that Boeing lost to a more nimble competitor in the commercial space race. The surprise is that this lumbering company made it at all. For that, we should celebrate Starliner’s impending launch and the thousands of engineers and technicians who made it happen.

In theory none of this should have prevented Starliner from being built. Indeed a lot of space projects are handled that way

The fact that vertical "silos" gets name-dropped means Starliner had no leadership involved across the whole program and people were content with their fiefdoms -- nobody noticed or cared about the whole project. This shows when you think about the issues they had: leaks in valves that were impossible to service, the parachutes not working properly (literally the number three most important system after life support and the heat shield) and the flammable tape that was known long before assembly. These problems were discovered basically on the pad, weeks from launch, probably because it was the first time they were all in one place.
