They originally wanted to do a full mission burn simulation. I think 8.5 minutes?

This one was 8 minutes and 19.6 seconds, so maybe it was a full mission duration burn?

Have been on calls the whole time and not paying much attention. Last I heard they were only going to do 4:30 today. Glad they did go a full burn! (although still would have appreciated a RUD. :D )

My understanding is that SpaceX does full duration test burns of individual Raptors in McGregor. Could be wrong.

I've never watched an Electron launch, but since I picked up some shares I figured I watch today's. Stream in ~7 hours if anyone is interested.

I'm really looking forward to footage of it taking off and flying away from Perseverance and of course the footage from Ingenuity itself.

Donger 03-29-2021 08:01 AM

SN11 might try to fly today. Hours away though:

Well, it seems that it went BOOM again. But with the fog it is unknown for now just what happened during the landing.

Molitoth 03-30-2021 07:29 AM

Welp.... lol.

I'm wondering if they were trying to test something other than just the "landing".
