@SpaceX
In addition to the thousands (>10k) of Starlink kits we are delivering in response to Hurricane Helene, the @Starlink team and @TMobile activated our Direct to Cell satellites to provide emergency alerts for all phones and carriers of those in affected areas.

The @FCC has also rapidly approved emergency special temporary authority for coverage in Florida ahead of Hurricane Milton.

We have now enabled basic texting (SMS) for those on T-Mobile phones in hurricane affected areas. Text messages have already been sent and received. You can text loved ones, text 911 and continue to receive emergency alerts.

If a phone connects to a Starlink satellite, it will have 1 to 2 bars of signal and show "T-Mobile SpaceX" in the network name. Users may have to manually retry text messages if they don't go through at first, as this is being delivered on a best-effort basis. The service works best outdoors, and occasionally works indoors near a window.

SpaceX says it will attempt to catch the Starship Super Heavy booster with the pad chopsticks, but it would “require healthy systems on the booster and tower and a manual command from the mission’s Flight Director. If this command is not sent prior to the completion of the boostback burn, or if automated health checks show unacceptable conditions with Super Heavy or the tower, the booster will default to a trajectory that takes it to a landing burn and soft splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico.”

TOXICMAN: kosmonautix na FB psal, že se neví, jestli třeba nechtěj odstartovat bez povolení, ale pak to radši stáhli :D

VYHULENY_UFO: Fingers crossed

Starship’s fifth flight test is preparing to launch as soon as October 13, pending regulatory approval.

mmmmm, frosty

PES: jo. ocividne tohle umi dobre, jde jim to a ziskavaji naskok pred konkurenci (boeing, ula, blue origin).

KAERO: "agilní vývoj" ;-)

PES: spousta tech 'srapped' ani nebylo dostavene. Nektere byly ve stavu jen par valcu kdyz zjistili ze neco musi predelat tak je zrusili a zacali znova.

TOXICMAN: Fíha, úctyhodná várka "Scrapped"...

PES: na wiki je to pěkně zpracováno v tabulce

Starship 30 was stacked on top of Booster 12 overnight for more full stack testing prior to Starship test flight 5.

cold frosty one

Flight day 3 after the EVA. We would have been in a ~190x730km orbit.

SEJDA: otázka ovšem je kolik g je volný pád na vodní hladinu při selhání padáků.

SEJDA: no a taky ze unikovy manevr musi 'zdrhat' pred zrychlujici raketou, a pri startu ve falconu maji astronauti spicku zrychleni 3 g, takze unikovy manevr 4 g by byl nejspis ponekud pomaly.

PES: SuperDraco jsou tam jako launch escape při startu, což se testovalo, ale při přistání se to ani netestovalo. Opakovaný zážeh se testoval, neúspěšně, teď už chápu proč.

PES: nevim proc si myslis, ze SuperDraco budou po zapaleni vubec nejak regulovane. Jsou certifikovane jako "zacpana trupka" pruraznyma ventilama, ktere NASA certifikovala na X roku, kdy se nemusi vymenovat, a NASA garantuje, ze na tech X roku tesni.
Vetsinou se motory reguluji zmenou otacek cerpadel. Nejsem si jisty, jestli SuperDraco maji vubec nejaka cerpadla. Tak by sa vlastne jejich tlak reguloval jenom frekvenci otevirani a zavirani elektronicky ovladaneho ventilu u tlakovaciho helia. Coz je presne to, co minule zpusobilo explozi.
