Space Exploration megathread
 
Since a number of cool things are happening in space exploration these days, we'll widen the scope of this thread a smidge. Conversation about all things space exploration are welcome, whether it be from NASA, SpaceX, ULA, Blue Origin, or anyone else. Chances are most of the discussion will still be about SpaceX since they love to make things public and fun, but nothing's off limits. I'll eventually get around to modifying the OP to include resources for other companies too, but in the meantime, feel free to post any cool stuff you run across.

Original OP:

SpaceX expects manned flight to ISS in 2016-2017

I've always casually paid attention to what SpaceX is up to, but I had no idea they were this far along. I'll post a few articles and videos, but here are the high points:
  • It's a three-stage system, and their goal is that ALL THREE will be 100% reusable, dramatically reducing the cost of space flight.
  • The crazy thing about that is that the three stages will all land themselves on land (no splashdowns, no parachutes) right back at the launch site.
  • The passenger module can handle up to seven crew at a time (compared to 3 for the Soyuz), again increasing the ability to move people back and forth easily.
  • As you might imagine, the technology in this thing is way beyond the Shuttle or Soyuz, so in theory, it'll be considerably safer since it can handle more situations automatically.

Here's the announcement page from SpaceX to get you started.

Here's a test flight of the main rocket landing itself. This one is way cool. I wouldn't have guessed you could have that much control using thrusters on the bottom like that.

The rocket test is even more impressive. They are hoping to have these things land themselves so softly that they can reassemble, refuel, and relaunch in only a couple days.

They've got a long way to go, but if they can pull it off, it will DRAMATICALLY decrease the cost of space flight as we know it.

Even more impressive is that the engines are 3D printed. I thought I misheard Tony, err, I mean Elon, when he said that.

So, how is SpaceX able to produce such a powerful thruster, at minimal costs, and still meet the strict deadlines set by their client, NASA? For one, they use 3D printing. That’s right, the most advanced manufacturer of rockets and spacecraft on the planet, relies on a process called direct metal laser sintering, to create one of the most important components of the SuperDraco thruster, the combustion chamber for the engine. The chambers are 3D printed with a material called Inconel, which is very high performance nickel chromium superalloy, known for its amazing strength and toughness.

This image is of the console in the "up" position. If you watch the unveil video, you'll notice that it is not fixed. It flips up out of the way for astronauts to get in and out of the seats. Kind of like the TNG consoles that rotate sideways to allow operators to sit, these just happen to be vertical.

EDIT:
About the 12:40 mark of the unveil video you see Musk entering the spacecraft. About 13:10 you see him operating the console after climbing into a chair. In case your in a hurry to see the console. Personally, I thought the whole video was worth watching.

It's to win the manned space vehicle contract for NASA. Two other teams are competing, Boeing and Sierra Nevada. I'm sure it will be used in the private sector once someone figures out what to do with it though.

OK, maybe I should have said decided what to fund it to do. As the costs go down I'm sure tons of projects will open up. Question is just who will pony up for it.

Yeah, that's the impressive part to me as well. I guess when you have computers that are three decades more advanced than those in the other technology being used, they're capable of some pretty crazy shit.

Of course, now they have to figure out a way to slow it down from falling at incredible speeds and THEN stabilize to land, but their track record gives them a lot of benefit of the doubt that they'll pull it off.

Yeah, as I alluded to in the OP, I knew they were making good progress and had already completed a few cargo missions to ISS, but I had no idea they were so close to manned missions.

You have to think their eyes lit up when Russia started making threats about not allowing U.S. astronauts to hitch a ride in the future. If they can figure it out, that company is going to make an enormous amount of money.

Donger 06-02-2014 10:05 AM
I can't wait until they light off the Falcon Heavy. That's going to be fun to watch (and listen).

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/se1KcS8RtUY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

General story is that this was a test flight, and some sort of anomaly was detected that would potentially carry the rocket outside their (very small) safe zone, so the rocket essentially self-destructed by design.

Donger 08-23-2014 12:26 PM

NASA says it's on in 2017.

http://www.iflscience.com/space/huma...-united-states

NASA has just announced that Boeing and SpaceX have been selected to lead the Commercial Crew Program, founded in 2010. Boeing’s CST-100 and SpaceX’s Dragon V2 will be used to launch humans into Low Earth Orbit and to the International Space Station from Cape Canaveral beginning in 2017. This will be the first human spaceflight launch on American soil since the space shuttle program retired in 2011.

(more at the link)

BigRedChief 09-16-2014 06:16 PM
i think we are going to see a resurgence of space travel and exploration in the 2nd half of this decade. My son is in school to be an astrophysicist. The field expects to grow in the next 10 years and explode in 20 years. It's the ground floor now.

They are expecting private businesses to sprout up. Not to just build the vehicles, but find minerals that they can profit from back on earth. Find water for the long voages.

DaFace 12-17-2014 12:26 PM
Just a heads-up for anyone who cares that SpaceX will be trying to land the rocket on a barge vertically after the launch to ISS this Friday at 12:20pm Central. They only give it a 50% chance of success, but it should be interesting to watch.

Launch got scrubbed at the last minute, so you didn't miss much. Apparently Air Force RADAR went down.

Try again tomorrow at the same time (6:10pm EST), though weather may be an issue.

It's looking like it will probably be 2017-2018 at this point just because of scheduling, but yes. And hopefully shortly after we'll actually break orbit again. It's been too long.

For those who don't follow it very closely, this will be attempt #2 at landing the first-stage rocket vertically on a barge in the middle of the ocean. Last one was the first time they'd tried it, and they got close...

<iframe src="https://vine.co/v/OjqeYWWpVWK/embed/simple" width="600" height="600" frameborder="0"></iframe><script src="https://platform.vine.co/static/scripts/embed.js"></script>

It's not quite as exciting but, by coincidence, the CRS-5 capsule returning from ISS will be splashing down in the ocean around 40 minutes after this one launches.

Busy day for SpaceX.

SpaceX is still tracking towards a 6:03pm ET liftoff of DSCOVR, but unfortunately we will not be able to attempt to recover the first stage of the Falcon 9. The drone ship was designed to operate in all but the most extreme weather. We are experiencing just such weather in the Atlantic with waves reaching up to three stories in height crashing over the decks. Also, only three of the drone ship’s four engines are functioning, making station-keeping in the face of such wave action extremely difficult. The rocket will still attempt a soft landing in the water through the storm (producing valuable landing data), but survival is highly unlikely.

DaFace 02-11-2015 04:49 PM
Take 3 in 15 minutes. Everything seems pretty smooth today (ignoring the fact that they won't be able to try to land it).

It takes successes like this to get to the vertical landing they're looking for, it'll happen soon no doubt, cant wait to see it.

Thanks for getting this thread started, DaFace.

DaFace 03-01-2015 01:50 PM
Heads up that there's a scheduled launch tonight at 9:50 pm Central.

Nothing terribly exciting in terms of experiments this time - no legs and no attempt to land the second stage at all - though it's the first time SpaceX has ever delivered two satellites with one launch.

Weather is 70% GO at the moment.
