Vulcan launch this morning was beautiful despite the SRB “observation”
I love that Voyager 2 is as old as Star Wars :)
May the force be with US!
4:20 Copper Erosion? I belive the correct term is "Engine Rich Fuel Cycle"
precisely
Lol
At 4:50 Peter Beck missed a great chance to quote Susan Ivanova "No boom today. Boom tomorrow. "
🤘😎
Wow! You guys' camera work is impressive. You were able to capture the ULA anomaly very well. I doubt that even ULA have such a good view of the problem.
If they come calling for the footage, squeeze them hard for everything they've got.
I will take a standard 10% commission for the latter advice!
I'd say the BE-4 engines really proved themselves on that certification flight.
Indeed. As did the casing of the solids. I'm impressed it didn't come apart as the combustion pressure rapidly changed. 👍
You might feel or even say the BE-4 engines "really" proved themselves but if I were contemplating leaving the Earth, I'd want a Merlin or Raptor engine below me. Period. Full Stop. Their name should be BW-4. Made by Blue WannaBe. Sorry Jeffy.
@@gth042 The fact that it didn't 'come apart' is because of a tchnical scientific term called LUCK, not engineering.
I wonder how much science you’d earn in KSP1 if you ran the exact real world voyager 1&2 missions
Thanks Elysia Ryan Alex and Martijn .
Space is hard. We should feel grateful for all the missions that go well!
As I commented under this morning's live stream, ULA should refer to that launch as:
"VULCAN CERT-2: _OOPSIE"_ 😉
No it’s not considered a temporary moon. That’s not even a scientific term. It’s a TCO or TNS but mini moon, temporary moon, whatever is not accurate.
22:39 great work capturing the nozzle section flying away from Vulcan. Great observation.
The F-Heavy launch of the Europa Clipper, will have the upper stage send the package on an inter-planetary trajectory, so stage 2, is most likely to never return to the Earth. No safety impact for thousands of years, if never.
Yeah the issue is, if the second stage ends up not burning the way it should on its second firing, then Europa Clipper doesn't end up on the trajectory it needs to in order to reach Jupiter. It's why the script mentions that apart from the safety of it all, there's the technical issue of not firing the way it was supposed to so that needs to be looked at regardless of it coming down wherever.
Thanks Elysia for another awesome TWIS! Thank you & NSF!
that srb gave me challenger vibes :/
Crazy week
The NOTMAR may mean Starship will fly a flight 4 profile. They can get the next stack ready for license approval for the catch.
Ouch! The second stage fell on my head! 😭
ouch, lol
*Wonderful news! Thank God, finally some really good news*
What a fantastic shot of the broken off nozzle...didn't see that live
Great Episode NSF and Elysia!
You posted that within a minute of it being published. The video is 26 minutes long.
We appreciate you being supportive, but we'd really like it if you actually watched the vid and thought it was a great episode :)
@@NASASpaceflight ik ill watch it rn but i commented this because I already know its a good video when its from SF
Interesting that Ryan C. Commented on the Starship and Space Traffic reports
As a retired development engineer I can tell you, if you do what you've always done you will get what you've always had. Consider that ULA and Blue Origin
Thanks Alicia, great update. Love the fact that we have Ryan helping out with the space news as well. Thanks Ryan. Like this update with both of you. Keep up the great work NSF team.
ULA is part of the OLD BOYS CLUB. Let's see if the FAA treats them the same as SpaceX since it's CERT 2 had at least two bad anomalies.
Two bad anomalies? They had the nozzle failure on one SRB leading to performance loss on that booster, but that's it. By my count that's only one and arguably not even that "bad" of an anomaly as the performance loss was inside margins and ULA managed to achieve their target orbit with pinpoint accuracy.
@@plainText384 That's the problem with our common language being in precious, words such as "bad" and "pinpoint" are relative. Whether or not something is bad depends to a large extent on one's point of view. I think your term "pinpoint" accuracy is a bit overstated. The real issue is the explosion that blew the engine nozzle off. Certainly you would admit that requires an investigation whether it had an immediate impact on civilian safety or not.
Thanks Elysia and NSF team! I appreciate all your efforts!🙂
The Starship delay is punishment for incorrect thought.
Thanks Aleysa great summary
Funny how some companies have to investigate after any issue while others don't have to investigate after part of the rocket blows up on ascent.
Why is a moon classification and not just a natural satellite
Tropical storm looks to develop in the southwestern Gulf which could give Starbase some rain and winds. But it is currently projected to move east towards and across Florida arriving around Wednesday. This could well affect the Clipper launch.
Hope Elysia feeling ok, seemed Ryan had to jump in for bits? Ryan's good for overhead flight/starbase update etc, but Elysia is much better for weekly news with the right amount of cheerful attitude. Good show nevertheless. Cheers 👍
ISS earrings? Hard to see the details... Thanks for the update!
what if the inner side of the srb had popped////shuttle accident waiting to happen
What are the EPA stats on the ULA'S two gem 63 XL exhaust?
Any poisonous gasses there?
And why is it okay for them only?
Fab as always xx🚀
1977. Geez, we got our moneys worth out of that one didn’t we???? JPL delivering for us. Again our tax dollars working for us. Who deserves them more?????
I’m really surprised by that GEM anomaly for Vulcan. Normally those are some of the most consistent systems that are least likely to fail. Thankfully the core stage and atlas looked flawless
I'm not quite aware of Northrop Grumman's reliability record. Are they that exceptional?
Well kinda these are new production GEMs and they basically took the GEM-63 and made it longer (meaning higher pressure) but didn't change the casing or nozzle.
How long will Raptors' Mars burns have to be?
PT5 2024 is now our new moon by my approval
You forgot Vega(Sentinel 2C) in your Quarter Results.
It's there under successful mission by Europe
@@ale131296 thanks, my failure.
😊Yeah!!!
I love you so much Elysia❤
Did FAA plan to stop future flights?
Can we get time stamps pls
1:07. Any time soon. Define soon. 😅
Like every business a lot of money goes into startup but then cost cutting comes in to start earning profits and quality starts to fall. Grated these companies are still in the start up stage but these are massively expensive endeavours & budgeting will have started already to minimise initial outlay & start seeing a profit as soon as possible.
Never change Elysia pretty plissss
👍 Tag team, nice job.
THERE WILL BE MORE. THIS TIME INCLUDE ISS
I haven’t yet read any of Tory Bruno’s posts in regards to the anomaly on X. I’m guessing he’s already up to his usual gaslighting ?
Look at that lady that went up on the Boeing boat. How disgraceful having hair flying around like that with all that sensitive equipment around.
?? Why does the 2024 Operator Region show 110 US launches, while the 2024 Spaceport Region shows 100 US launches? 🤷♂️
Rocket Lab is a US operator
is ULA grounded from the FAA because of technical issue? or is just Space X the only one to be investigated? asking for a friend 🤣🤣🤣
We're still waiting for their response. They also took some time to confirm whether Starlink 9-3 or Starship's 4th flight required an investigation. By now we know it was yes and no respectively for those
It doesn't matter, ULA won't be ready for another flight for six months or more, anyway.
ULA was a test flight. NSF made a video about the differences and who is responsible.
@@bazanime the FAA licensed this flight, btw
that SRB problem looks like the real deal. no military payloads until fix demonstrated
Ernser Center
It kinda feels like they pulled a bit too many people away from Falcon for Starship...
Starship is definitely important, but Falcon 9 reliability should be the priority.
They still modify the f9 and introduced modifications which lead to the issues with it. Keeping the f9 at the Feb 2024 design state would have kept them in working condition.
Why not recycle the satellite
Not a moon unless it does a full orbit
Not by coincidence.
If Pluto isn't a planet, this isn't a Moon.
cope harder
Elysia- MEGA on your T-shirt? Does it mean Make Elon Great Again? Perhaps a message to the FAA to stop penalizing SpaceX, F9 and Starship?
Could SpaceX be having quality issues while trying to ramp up production to the levels needed to meet demand? Seems like a high failure rate for a rocket that has flown so many missions in the past.
It definitely look likes they are messing with the Falcon second stage for a few months now. Is it because of a change in suppliers or are they changing the design I'm not sure.
Or it could be just because of sheer volume. Falcon 9 launches make up nearly 20% of all orbital lauch attempts throughout history. Since they make a new 2nd stage every launch it is the most mass produced space vehicle ever. It's not surprising that they are finding failure modes or even production errors that could be very low probability.

Salute Vger🛰
Space junk: Too bad they can't capture it in space and use it to build other larger spacecraft in space?
Saves the need to launch it there!
Ms. Seagal, You changed your hair color. Cant tell what the earrings are. The tower with chopsticks and a moon over head?? They do look nice.
Hi
I will be interested to see what the FAA has to say about the Boeing 'safety culture' on this launch.
If Vulcan was a success because it delivered its payload, then Starliner is successful too! Sheesh…
But, it didn't finish the return to sender portion of the payload delivery.
Uh no, the benchmark for success is completing all mission objectives starliner failed to return it's crew to the ground safely as they didn't feel confident enough in it's safety
NASA does consider starliner a success! I'm waiting for Starliners certification for operational missions. There is a lot of work, but my guess is the second half of next year.
@@KiRiTO72987 So, blowing off parts is a good thing as long as you get lucky? ULA suffered from extremely dumb luck. Just 1 part blowing off in the wrong direction and BOOM! Hey, if you believe luck is a good plan for success, you should go to Vegas.
@@user-fr3hy9uh6y Boing considered Starliner a success. NASA and Boeing looked at the very same data on Starliner and NASA said no go on the Starliner retuning its crew. Any plan that needs another capsule to return your crew is no success!
Ehhhh, Ryan you need to find a new barber.....STAT!
ULA: "Hey, our rocket just half-way disassembled itself during first phase of booster liftoff, would you mind certifying it so we can launch your billion-dollar secret satellites?"
ULA: "Hey, we observed some performance loss on one of the boosters after part of the nozzle fell off shortly after liftoff, *but the performace loss was within margins and the vehicle still manged to insert its payload into a bullseye trajectory,* so would you mind certifying it so we can launch your billion-dollar defense satellites?"
@@plainText384 "some performAnce loss", as in the actual fucking rocket engine
@mapsofbeing5937 No, the GEM63XL rocket motor continued to operate after part of the nozzle failed, just with a reduced performance. But they did not lose the whole engine.
@@plainText384 that it kept more or less deflagrating doesn't mean parts of the rocket didn't fly off
if you like it that much, you ride on it
It looks like your rockets running a little rich.
A problem on the second flight isn't an anomaly. There's too few data points to say if it's common or not.
lmao what? Starship 1 was a test flight and half a half dozen engines fail. Are those not anomalies because it was the first flight? A problem on the second flight doesn’t confirm a design issue, but it is absolutely asinine to say it isn’t an anomaly.
An anomaly is anything that isn’t nominal. I’m sure if you ask ULA what was nominal, they wouldn’t say the nozzle of an SRB failing.
@@qwerty112311 - exactly my friend. What is nominal can only be determined through results. If it happens every flight? then the failure was nominal. We don't know if it experienced an anomaly, we only know it diverted from the intended results. Only on flight 3 can we say what is nominal for this system as a whole. If it fails like this most times? then it's nominal behavior of a flaw.
I want to know if the FAA is going to shut down ULA for this malfunction!? They sure know how to do it on a regular basis to SpaceX!
Nope. They said that it wouldn't be investigating 2100UTC yesterday.
FAA are showing bias in the notices they issue. Both should have received the same.
If you mean they should have issued NOTAMs, they did, after the video had already been published.
The narrator has a delightful voice. Easy to listen to and easy on the ears. But please ..... do something about the camera angle as it does her a major disservice, making her nose disproportionate in realtion to her face. I love her voice and her vibe is uplifting.
You need half a haircut
