What I decided to do is create a thread dedicated to anything SpaceX and Blue Origin.


This is where all of the news regarding these two companies will go.


Good or idea or bad. If bad, this will go away.

Sorry if Musk's being able to allow his Telsa Boongdoggle tempers my enthusiasm a bit.  His ability  to suck on the left hind teat of the US Taxpayer makes me comment accordingly.

Don't know if I would want to be manning an experimental space ship with a mission named "Demo".  :silly:

@kevindavis

I didn't realize that there were that many Topics posted to Space that we needed to bundle some together.

I just did a search on Blue Origin and SpaceX.  I got 5 hits on Blue Origin for the last 60 days and 16 for SpaceX.

Not a lot of traffic to be lumping them together.

@Elderberry


I understand, but there have been a lot of videos of SpaceX and Blue Origin so I figure that I post them in a single thread.

Knock yourself out. You're the Mod. Feel free to merge the one's I post when I forget where you want them to go.

Are you going to add the ones that have been posted in the past? Or just from now on?

I have but one vote, and I'd say the past threads can be left alone.

With Monday night launch, SpaceX to become world’s largest satellite operator

ARS Technica by Eric Berger - 1/6/2020

https://arstechnica.com/science/2020/01/with-monday-night-launch-spacex-to-become-worlds-largest-satellite-operator/

Quote
In 2019 SpaceX launched two batches of 60 Starlink satellites—one experimental, and the second operational. On Monday, the company plans to add 60 more satellites with a nighttime launch of the Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.

If all goes to plan, this mission will be just the first of as many as 20 Starlink launches this year as SpaceX builds up a constellation of satellites in low-Earth orbit to provide global Internet service. SpaceX may begin to offer "bumpy" service by the middle of this year to some consumers.

Following this next launch, scheduled for 9:19pm ET Monday (02:19 UTC Tuesday), SpaceX will have a constellation of nearly 180 satellites in low-Earth orbit, each weighing a little more than 220kg. This will make the company simultaneously the world's largest private satellite operator (eclipsing Planet Labs), while also being the most active private launch company.

STARLINK MISSION

https://www.spacex.com/webcast

Quote
SpaceX is targeting Monday, January 6 at 9:19 p.m. EST, or 2:19 UTC on January 7, for its third launch of Starlink satellites from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. A backup launch opportunity is available on Tuesday, January 7 at 8:57 p.m. EST, or 1:57 UTC on January 8.

Falcon 9’s first stage supported a Starlink mission in May 2019, the Iridium-8 mission in January 2019, and the Telstar 18 VANTAGE mission in September 2018. Following stage separation, SpaceX will land Falcon 9’s first stage on the “Of Course I Still Love You” droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean. Approximately 45 minutes after liftoff, SpaceX’s fairing recovery vessel, “Ms. Tree,” will attempt to recover a payload fairing half.

You can watch the launch live below, starting about 15 minutes before liftoff, and learn more about the mission in our press kit.

Dragon cargo capsule brings home space station science experiments

Spaceflight Now by  Stephen Clark  January 7, 2020

https://spaceflightnow.com/2020/01/07/dragon-cargo-capsule-brings-home-space-station-science-experiments/

Quote
SpaceX’s 19th Dragon resupply mission to the International Space Station ended Tuesday with the capsule’s splashdown in the Pacific Ocean southwest of Los Angeles with nearly 3,600 pounds of cargo and experiments.

The reusable Dragon supply ship concluded a 30-day stay at the space station at 5:05 a.m. EST (1005 GMT) Tuesday, when the station’s Canadian-built robotic arm released the Dragon spacecraft.

The release of the Dragon capsule came after the spaceship was detached from the station’s Harmony module and maneuvered to a position below the complex using the robotic arm.

SpaceX flight controllers in Hawthorne, California, monitored the Dragon spacecraft’s departure from the space station, while station commander Luca Parmitano tracked the capsule’s movements until it exited the vicinity of the research lab.

The Dragon spacecraft closed its navigation bay door later Tuesday and ignited its Draco engines for a nearly 13-minute deorbit burn at 9:51 a.m. EST (1451 GMT). The braking maneuver put the spacecraft on a trajectory to re-enter the atmosphere on a northwest to southeast flight path over the Pacific Ocean.

The SpaceX supply ship jettisoned a disposable trunk section to burn up in the atmosphere, while a heat shield protected the Dragon’s pressurized compartment during a scorching hot plunge back to Earth.
