@@KSP_Aviation sound can travel through the rocket itself. There is a video of electron’s stage separation with sound. You can even hear the engine fire because the exhaust gas carried the sound back to the mic
Awesome video! Only things that would have made it even better would have been sound and telemetry. It would have been great to see a Speed and Altitude overlay. Congratulations on the soft landing. I hope referbishment is easier than you expected.
1:10 Great view of Hawke Bay. I saw the flame of the Rutherford engine on Electron Rocket go up, but not for long, as it blended into the sky. So I went back inside to continue watching the Livestream. Thank's Rocket Lab for this video.
Wow - You could almost see Australia - and the puzzled look on the face of sheila they've got running their Australian Rocket Space Exploration agency 🤠
@@kefs trouble with that analogy is that, in this scenario, they didn’t plan on going to California for that trip. They planned on going to Nebraska. And then they arrived. They may plan a future NY to CA trip, and they’ve talked about how they would like to do that in the future, but that wasn’t in the itinerary. They didn’t discover that they couldn’t make it to CA this time, they already knew.
@@kefs you’re not really making any sense, cause they tried the splashdown and it worked. In this video. That’s what we’re all talking about. I accounted for the fact that they changed their old plan in my explanation. We’re celebrating that successful rework, it seems to have gone off without a hitch. And y’know, actually at this point, you seem like the kind of person that just want to debate-lord everything, even if you’re (whether in good or bad faith) misunderstanding what’s going on. So I think I’ll be moving on from this. You’ve been slightly entertaining at least.
Great visually, but sorry that you guys didn't leave the microphone in the Gopro camera to record the sounds of the separation systems going off or the impact of the exhaust plume from the 2nd stage engine, etc.
Thanks for sharing! Would it be possible to add some telemetry data? For example, I'd love to see the velocity, g force, elevation, and temperature of the rocket's skin. Good luck with the next launch!
I would definitely use a "self-steering parachute (SSP)" to land it on a tent. SpaceX was trying to do something similar but never succeeded enough. and at some point, they changed their minds. however, since RocketLab cannot land rockets on the ground, not yet, I would use a large tent between two ships, and the SSP to recover the rocket, which is small enough. here is an example SSP: ruclips.net/user/shortsgIGeTv5WTSU
Only thing that could have made this video better would be having Mr. Beck singing "baby, come back" karaoke style in an inset...and possibly some telemetry
I was wondering this same thing. I would expect a much longer transition between the point of drifting in space and drogue chute being deployed. Footage made it seem like just a couple seconds.
i don`t think. Falcon 9 first stage reaches apoapsis in about 2 mins after separation as usual, so we can expect +- the same time to apoapsis or some value lower.Drogue chute deploys at about 5 minutes after separation, so this is deployed at nearly the same altitude as separation was, but some value lower. Probably 20-30 kilometres, because separation happens at about 70.
It seemed edited for that reason to me, like some proprietary data is being concealed. But I also thought the time on drogue would have been longer to reduce the potential splashdown area. It spent around 8 minutes on main chute.
Ho high does the drogue chute pop at? One second looks like Electron is still above the atmosphere, then suddenly black and then the chutes out - is the drogue being used to steer so it flies engine end down?
You skipped the good part!! Goes from what seems like orienting for entry interface right to drogue deploy down in the atmosphere. Please post the full footage!!
Space starts at 62 miles above the earth nothing has ever been to space because rockets can not produce thrust in a vacuum so the rocket just falls back down
if only there was the sound of separation, that epic "clunk" that you guys treated us with, maybe last year.
you wouldnt hear any clunk since theres almost no air

yeah it was the return to sender from 2020
@@KSP_AviationYou are incorrect.
@@joelholzhausen8377 my bad then
Never a dull moment with Rocket Lab. Constantly expanding and innovating.
It is a great value proposition
Love these videos. I think everybody loves seeing a stage separation followed by second stage ignition in the same shot. Hope you all are well xx
Awesome!
of all the unexpected people I did not expect to see here, you were the least expected person to be here
Jesus?
I wasn't expecting the splashdown to be so gentle.
small rocket :)
@@bjarnes.4423 Also quite a light one too

That was like a softly swaying lullaby, gentle and hypnotic ☺️
Flawless execution! Absolutely incredible!
@@kefsI mean they changed their plan to the pickup method rather than the helicopter method and executed it here, so yes it’s flawless.
@@kefsyou are incorrect.
Ya man, live in the now. Lol that was a hugely successful recovery.

Rocket Lab makes it look so simple. Makes you wonder why we haven't been doing this for decades.

Beautiful! Go Rocket Lab or should I say Come back Rocket Lab!
And that is why I am a stock holder, well that & because SpaceX isn't publicly traded at this time...
Now this is cool RL, imagine seeing the helicopter catch this baby 🚁 🪂 through the same cam 😍 great job RL team
No more helicopters.
@@iamaduckquack Yeah I know, iam imagining it.
Splashdown looks really gentle.
Great work. Thanks for sharing the footage. Congrats to the whole team that made this happen.
Thanks for sharing! Would it be possible to add some telemetry data? For example, I'd love to see the velocity, g force, elevation, and temperature of the rocket's skin. Good luck with the next launch!
As some who in the composites industry , I appreciate seeing the carbon in the flash of separation..
Love the footage! It's too bad Rocket Labs doesn't include a view that faces towards the rear as well, but I guess every ounce saved is a good thing.
It went. Over the most spectacular oceanic coastal views anywhere on 🌎.
What stunning footage! Thank you!
Great footage! Must have been the longest decent with a parachute I've ever seen.
The chute “breathes” just like Soyuz! Good stuff. Just don’t let your CEO eat the parachute.
This is truly magnificent footage.
Awesome. Hope next time to see it live and with sound 🙏
5:54 I'd love to know how many Gs were pulled when that main opened.
Looked like there was some damage to some of the fabric squares.
Really cool. Thanks for sharing this. Would be even cooler to somehow put altitude and velocity down in the corner. But this is really fun to watch.
We have Splash down!👩🚀
Good job lady's and gentlemen. 👍🇭🇲
Congrats Rocketlab
Just wow! Thanks for sharing this footage.
Wow, that was a soft landing.
Once again, Rocket Lab takes a step forward...
This footage is brilliant. Imagine how awesome it would be with better footage!

Amazing. Love the uncut footage!
Amazing!
Great work guys n gals. Awesome video
Outstanding video!
Elon has gone quite silent since this lol
man this footage is insane
So cool! Can I request telemetry on the next one? It was hard to tell where in flight it was until the chute opened
Wonder if you could have survived inside, given a very soft chair and a space-suit.
Are there cuts in footage? Such a fast transition around drogue shoot deployment. Does it really hit the atmosphere that quickly?

Nicely done, hope to see Neutron landing back to launchpad.
Great insights. But would love some telemetry-overlay: speed, g-Force, temperature... (and yesss: sound would be awesome..)
awesome! Beck when you coming to Canada??? any meetups?
Thisll be fun to watch!
❤ Rocket lab ⛳
5:55 I thought for a second they had lost the main chute. Thought one of the red sections ripped, but the hole is a bit too rectangle shaped for that.
incredible!
Cool...😎
Shute mishap @5:56 or by design?
Jeez....a swivel on that chute, would do wonders. lol
Are they going to grab this thing before it hits the drink?
No. They tried the catching method but it wasn't working out well.
Good footage but it would be way better with sound
Good Luck to R.L.
C'mon Pete, show us the plasma!
That was soooo cool!🖖😮
Upper stage really accelerates away eh!?
Nice.
It's a long way home.
Baby got back!
Cool. Some sound would be nice.🙂
Perfect!
Ever thought of adding a camera on the outside facing downward?
They have! This is so you can see the parachute
nice
Are they still planning to capture in air?
No. This is the new recovery system.
all that tumbling and rolling made me dizzy
