Falcon IX Upper Stage Recovery Kremlinology
Dec 6th, 2008 by Jonathan Goff

I just wanted to post a couple of short thoughts about the Falcon IX Upper Stage information that came out in the article I linked to in a blog post a few days ago. Specifically this picture from Figure 9 of the Asian Space Conference Paper (with my labels added) provides some interesting hints at how SpaceX is intending to recover the stage:

Musk ambition: SpaceX aim for fully reusable Falcon 9

Интересная статья.

Что это собой представляет?
"Dragon is designed for water landing, but could go to land landing later via airbags or a pneumatic piston that pulls on the chute. With that capability you can land almost anywhere, but currently the nominal landing site is just off the coast of California."

Видимо то самое подтягивание на парашуте в момент касания. :roll:

CAPE CANAVERAL - After being removed from the U.S. Air Force's 45th Space Wing's launch schedule for five months, SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket is back on the board. The most recent 90-day Eastern Range forecast released Tuesday has the new rocket's maiden launch planned for November 29 at 11 a.m. local time.

I'm pretty sure it's N.E.T. date.
BTW, did you see the picture of Ares-I-X that accidentially captured pad 40 and something standing there?

Вообще, если "классически", то вторая ступень где-то 0,2 от массы всей ракеты.
 

Только в случае равенства УИ и массового совершенства ступеней. :wink:

Not final:

Hawthorne, Calif.-based SpaceX said in early October that it expects to deliver Falcon 9 flight hardware to the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla., launch facility in November and then launch one to three months later :wink:  :wink:

WASHINGTON — Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) has requested a Feb. 2 launch date for the maiden flight of its new Falcon 9 rocket, according to a recent launch range forecast issued by the U.S. Air Force's 45th Space Wing.

The Hawthorne, Calif.-based SpaceX said in early October that it expects to deliver Falcon 9 flight hardware to the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla., launch facility in November and then launch one to three months later. Falcon 9's debut originally was planned for 2007 but development of the rocket — along with that of its smaller sibling, the Falcon 1 — has taken longer than SpaceX expected.

But the new launch target comes with a caveat. SpaceX's proposed 11 a.m. EST (1600 GMT) liftoff would conflict with an already approved United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 launch of NASA's Solar Dynamic Observatory, according to the range forecast released Oct. 28.

SpaceX said as recently as Oct. 21 that the inaugural Falcon 9 launch is a demonstration flight that will carry a prototype reusable cargo-carrying vehicle being developed with NASA funding help. The mission will provide aerodynamic and performance data on the Dragon capsule qualification unit, although the primary customer for the mission in a U.S. government customer SpaceX says it is not at liberty to name.

SpaceX officials have said the flight is not intended to count as one of the Dragon flight demos SpaceX is obliged to fly for NASA under its Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) agreement. That 2006 agreement promised SpaceX $278 million in incentive payments in exchange for three demonstrations of Dragon's ability to deliver cargo to the International Space Station.

The first demo was to have occurred in September 2008, followed by a second in June 2009 and a third in September 2009. In February 2008, SpaceX and NASA amended their COTS agreement, rescheduling the first Dragon demo flight for June 2009.

In addition to its COTS money, SpaceX received a $1.6 billion NASA contract in December 2008 to haul some 20 tons of cargo to the space station between 2011 and 2016.

While SpaceX works to get the first Falcon 9 off the ground, the company continues to press NASA and Congress for funding needed to modify Dragon and demonstrate its reliability as a crew-carrying vessel.

SpaceX Chief Executive Elon Musk says that Dragon could be made ready to carry crews approximately three years from the time NASA provides the funding to make the necessary modifications, which include development of a launch escape system.

Вторая ступень и ниобиевый насадок

[zyxman]

Ну шо, скоро должны появиться опроверганцы - "Фальконы никогда не летали на орбиту", вроде так?  :twisted:

[Технократ]

Опроверганцы, это они точно.
Класное словцо.
Эти сволочи, будут упираться до последнего, а потом хором завопят: "А чего тут удивительного, Маску за бабло дали технологии все производители, и вообще все ему сделали на заводах Боинга и Мартин-Мариеты..."
А под занавес, после пятого успешного пуска будут вылизывать заднице маску, вопя - надо немедленно закупить для Россиии технологию производства Ф-9 и точка, типа мы всегда об этом говорили....

Берии и Сталина на них нет....
О темпера о море...

[Бродяга]

Интересно, Маск попробует спасать первую ступень или нет?

 Это аж 9 "Мёрлинов" выкинуть, накладно как-то.

А разве не уже?! :shock:  Мне кажется где-то было уже про пятый пуск.
А он полетит в итоге уже в феврале, да?!
