The integration of larger fuel tanks and solar arrays is a game-changer for lunar missions. It's fascinating to see how every detail, down to the paint's reflective properties, plays a crucial role in optimizing mission success.
It would be interesting to know more about the landing legs. Some of these renderings don’t seem to show a lot of space underneath Starship lander . They’re gonna have to be adaptive in someway, in order to keep the ship level. It’s so tall, you’d think that would be important
SpaceX has revealed the basic specifications for the enlarged Block 3 Starship. The lunar lander version of that new Starship can send a 225t (metric ton) payload to the lunar surface after the main propellant tanks are refilled completely in LEO. That larger Starship flies from LEO to low lunar orbit (LLO, 100 km altitude, circular orbit) and lands on the lunar surface with 165t of methalox remaining in the main tanks.
Comment about the solar arrays. If they need more more power, they might consider an oriental fan (folded) arrangement. When stowed vertically, the fan segments fold together like a fan. Another ides would be to attach each panel at the center of the panel where iit attaches to the ship, so it can pivot to better face the sun.
Glad to see them working on it... I wonder if they have considered dividing up the tanks, and having the nose section with its own headers, so that the nose can be seperated from the main ship section to act as a lander. Then you wouldnt need the elevator, and could land the main section later on the Moon, or at some distance, and leave it as the first positive asset for a moon base. Shame to pay freight to the Moon and return, to carry empty tanks back, that could be repurposed there. Might even be able to recover the engines with the nose if they were in pods on a base ring... I'm just not a fan of landing tall ships on unknown surfaces, or of complications like elevators, nor of bringing back more than necessary, that could be designed to repurpose etc. Another option would be leave the tanks in Lunar orbit to be repurposed into a gateway orbiter. Why pay to escape Earth's gravity well, go all the way to the Moon and then bring back empty tanks? Just so you need increased risk of tall ship, and increased risk of elevator...
You can be with amount of time that passed. The rendering is much different. I would like to see the latest rending. More importantly the engineering of it. Everything else are nice pictures.
Your opening statement says that we recently probably haven’t seen too much info about SpaceX Starship lunar lander. Your title, however states that new info was JUST officially announced? And then you go on to refer to a November of last year rendering, .
means locating and mining the water -- and spacex uses methane thrusters -- dont thing they have a hydrogen one. Though dont think anyones seen the hls thrusters yet.
Starship is too tall. This would make it extremely unstable on the lunar surface. It looks like even a small incline would cause it to tip over. An example is tipping over of that lunar lander (I forgot it's name). What's wrong with a short, wider lander like Alpaca?
@@alphatech4966 I get what you are trying to say but a hexagon is a six sided 2d shape. Great channel though. Can't believe you haven't got the 100k yet! Put some shorts out, these will be randomly put out there!
Worse case?? what does Musk mdo being first passenger on moon having got out of his massive stood up pencil Then finds hoist is broke dust filled wier motor broke how does he get back inside a skyscrapper machine with door at top. landing flat exits to ground level as Star Trek run around or 2001 Kubrk moon taxi is logical simple. pencilm shape Earth to space space to moon shape not relivent only keep engines up from dust stone rocks. attachable fuel pods and side engines at a way station point should be easy to create and attach in orbit
I really like not only the changes but that several landers have proprietary changes for what each landers requirements. The one change that still needs to be made is removing the NASA logo from the landers!
Ill be glad when political appointed BILL NELSON is retired by Trump. Further NASA needs to mothball certain facilities and given a CHIEF of operations with clout. ELON should have say on NEXT nasa boss.
Come on, first build a wagon to bring back the astronauts instead of talking about theories about how you build a Lamborghini 😂😂😂😂😂 If the astronauts were Russian or Chinese they would bring them back within a week,

The landing legs would need to be self levelling, otherwise it could tip over on landing.
That can happen?!🤣🤣

EXCITING TECHNOLOGY AND
MECHANICS.
GREAT TO SEE WHEN
IT ALL PERFORMS
AS EXPECTED.
And One Day be a
Trusted System
😂😂
Great program- one of your best yet. Keep it up.
Starship should have for both missions to the moon and mars Tesla robots on board to provide the system works before they commit to human astronauts 😊
I can see Starship tipping over on landing.
No hyperbole in your title? I'm stunned!
yes! that's because you already understand the content I'm referring to
It’s still Clickbait, nothing really new was announced by NASA. Speculating on rendering that go back to last November.
7:03 - 1.4 million miles to the moon? I thought it was around 238,000 miles...

Pls more titles like this! 🎉
Title is inaccurate
Yeah!
It's pentagonal not hexagonal.
Viewed this one for second and read the comments. Saving more of my time.
right - no real new information
those solar panels are at 60 degrees from each other, 6x60=360
Starship = exciting....Starliner = excruciating.
so interesting
exceedingly excruciating
Right to get the house cleaned up and pls. Help me I'm a agriculture experience nice keep it up
Thank you for your comment! That’s right!

yes it is! but we have to wait more!
@@alphatech4966 True!
Did you miss that NASA just officially announced new cargo Starship to the Moon. It’s all there.
Your opening statement says that we recently probably haven’t seen too much info about SpaceX Starship lunar lander. Your title, however states that new info was JUST officially announced?
And then you go on to refer to a November of last year rendering,
.
He also states that haven't done a propellant transfer which they have
Fire your script writers and whoever locate your information
Should they be testing these lunar modules by having them occupied on earth to practice is function and maintenance
They should make it capable of refining water into fuel on the moon.

If we’ve learned anything over the years it’s that Musk is an expert at building animation videos.
Personally i think spacex animations are paticullarly awful.. bezos and BO way better at them.
His animations may not be the best but he is really good at developing new rocket and engine iterations better than anyone else.
5 solar panels in a 'hexagonal pattern? C'mon AT how does that work?
The remaining missing position will be the door for astronauts to enter and exit.
@@alphatech4966 I get what you are trying to say but a hexagon is a six sided 2d shape.
Great channel though. Can't believe you haven't got the 100k yet! Put some shorts out, these will be randomly put out there!
Whatnis a soya rays 😊
What is the best design for a lunar lander? NASA and SpaceX apparently think its a pencil.
Elon will have to show he can land his ship on the moon. Much more difficult than landing his Falcon 9 here.
I doubt it's more difficult than that. 1/6 the gravity and no atmosphere.
Worse case??
what does Musk mdo being first passenger on moon
having got out of his massive stood up pencil
Then finds hoist is broke dust filled wier motor broke
how does he get back inside a skyscrapper machine with door at top.
landing flat exits to ground level
as Star Trek run around or 2001 Kubrk moon taxi
is logical simple. pencilm shape Earth to space
space to moon shape not relivent
only keep engines up from dust stone rocks.
attachable fuel pods and side engines
at a way station point
should be easy to create and attach in orbit
I really like not only the changes but that several landers have proprietary changes for what each landers requirements. The one change that still needs to be made is removing the NASA logo from the landers!
30 degrees times six is not 360. Bye.
Ill be glad when political appointed BILL NELSON is retired by Trump.

Ummm.... Please remember, don't buy any spare part from India !
Oh!
Why so much hate man
Ajustable landing legs would you think would be a common sense idea design Duh

To much faith has been placed in Starship. It is a fantastic ship for Mars but the Alpaca lander is the ship for the moon.
9 billion 😂
This is a joke.
Not genius. Just silly.
