Slow Motion Footage of SpaceX Falcon 9 Explosion! | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 23247984 United States 01/23/2020 04:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Elon gets to do whatever Elon wants because he is Elon and he has partnered with the US military. Plus he is rich so the american public views him as an all-knowing demi-god. Convential rules of common sense only apply to conventional people like you. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73148267 Elon is a fucking rockstar genius! Proof? Elon endorsed Andrew Yang. I rest my case. Genius. Yang in office. Going to Mars. Income for everyone. Poverty eradicated. Technology. Innovation. Inspiration. SpaceX daily shuttle launches. Star Trek America. Next level of human development here we come! Yang/Musk 2020! |

(OP) Senior Forum Moderator 01/23/2020 08:52 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was doing it blind. The camera I borrowed from everyday astronaut was capable of high speed but the mini HDMI cable I use to hook up to a monitor and steer wasn't compatible with this camera. It only takes a micro HDMI plug and I didn't have a cable for it. I'll fix that next time. I'm glad it came out as well as it did without me being able to see what the telescope was recording. Is the servo/software capable of true variable speed? Listening to the servo during tracking it sounded like it was stepping between a higher speed and lower speed. Yes it's capable of it. Unfortunately I unplugged the hand controller to silence the loud tone it emits when I connect it to my software. It was not designed to do this but I have a hack that makes it work. Unplugging the hand controller at the unfortunate consequence of screwing up the telescopes internal computer which led to an unstable tracking rate. I had to take over a manual control immediately and fight it. I won't be making that mistake again. I'd rather live with filtering out a loud tone from the video then risk computer glitching out. |

(OP) Senior Forum Moderator 01/23/2020 08:55 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No. It exploded when it turned sideways into a supersonic stream of air and was ripped apart by aerodynamic loads in a direction the rocket was not designed to withstand. how cum other rockets don't esplode then? Quoting: confusedBecause they usually don't shut off their engines at max-q, lose control authority, and turn sideways into the flow of air right when aerodynamic forces are at their maximum. you say now that they can esplode it they want to put ppl in it?!?!? nice suicide ride for some ppl i guess. crazy. Quoting: confusedThe test deliberately destroyed the rocket. I suggest you look up what the word deliberate means and stop making an idiot of yourself. The test proved the capsule can get away from an ailing rocket even at max q, the worst moment in the launch when the vehicle is experiencing maximum aerodynamic pressure (and the capsule then experiences even more under the thrust of its escape system). You can see the capsule getting away well ahead of the rocket in my video. Thanks for this. Watching the crew capsule come down, it looked like it crashed. Did I miss something there? that was not the crew capsule. If you look again you can see that it's cylindrical. It's the upper part of the rocket. The crew capsule is just a tiny speck getting away from the rocket long before it explodes. Watch to the end of the video, I highlight the crew capsule in the slow motion replay. |

(OP) Senior Forum Moderator 01/23/2020 08:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | what about the G Force on the crew? Can they survive the variation of acceleration especially the drop? I find the rocket didn't blow up at a very much high altitude. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75590612 It was really only a few g's. They triggered the abort at the most difficult time during the launch, maximum aerodynamic force. That is when the rocket is experiencing the most strain on its structure. It happens while it's still low in the atmosphere. Once it gets up higher there's not enough air to exert much force on the rocket. Maximum aerodynamic pressure usually occurs around Mach 1. The capsule accelerated past Mach 2 during the abort. |

Gotcha! Regarding the controller, have you looked into some of the gaming (Xbox) keyboard/mouse adapters? They're programmable and they have a USB bus where you plug in the controller, mouse and keyboard then it translates your keyboard and mouse inputs into legitimate controller outputs for the console, which normally won't allow keyboard and mouse gaming on certain games. I don't know much about telescopes but have a decent background on hobby servos and robotics. |

The telescope's hand controller is unrelated to the tracking, I use an X52 Pro for tracking input. |
