32
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,700
A join us as we take a dive into
the challenges. 

33
00:01:51,700 --> 00:01:54,600
Faced during the test flight, 
the invaluable insights gained 

34
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,700
at the potential impact of this 
system on the future of space 

35
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,700
travel. 
Now, the Starship system, 

36
00:02:01,700 --> 00:02:07,300
booster 7-inch ship 24, it's a 
groundbreaking test flight. 

37
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,200
That happened today in this 
challenge is the limits of 

38
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,700
Rocket technology SpaceX and 
it's Relentless pursuit of 

39
00:02:14,700 --> 00:02:18,400
revolutionising space travel 
recently conducted an ambitious.

40
00:02:18,500 --> 00:02:20,700
Test flight for its Starship 
system. 

41
00:02:21,100 --> 00:02:23,100
Now, aiming to push the 
boundaries of Rocket 

42
00:02:23,100 --> 00:02:26,200
engineering, the test flight. 
Showcased, The Staggering 

43
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,400
capabilities are the Starship 
system. 

44
00:02:28,700 --> 00:02:32,200
While overcoming numerous 
technical challenges to get it 

45
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,400
into the air, the test flight 
started with the pre-launch 

46
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:41,200
cooling of the 33 Raptor engines
on booster 7 now at T minus 16 

47
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,000
seconds or 16 minutes and 40 
seconds. 

48
00:02:44,300 --> 00:02:46,700
Small amount of propellant flow 
through the engines. 

49
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:48,300
Gradually, reducing their 
temper. 

50
00:02:48,500 --> 00:02:52,400
Archer to prevent thermal shock 
and potential damage to the 

51
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,500
intricate components within. 
And this cautious procedure 

52
00:02:55,500 --> 00:02:58,600
mirrors the cooling approach 
taken with the tank farm, and 

53
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,600
propellant loading systems at 
Starbase Texas. 

54
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:07,600
And as the countdown progressed 
T minus, 47 seconds, Mark the 

55
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,600
beginning of the fluid 
interfaces vent down sequence. 

56
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,900
This crucial step involve 
venting any remaining. 

57
00:03:13,900 --> 00:03:17,000
Propellant from the lines, 
connecting the booster in the 

58
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,000
ship quick, quick. 
Disconnect the qds to minimize 

59
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,900
damage during liftoff at T-minus
eight seconds, the Raptor engine

60
00:03:25,900 --> 00:03:30,200
startup sequence, commenced in 
the 33, Raptor two engines, 

61
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,700
ignited, in a staggered manner 
before ramping up to flight 

62
00:03:34,700 --> 00:03:37,300
thrust levels. 
Now, for this test flight, the 

63
00:03:37,300 --> 00:03:41,800
edges were initially limited to 
around 90 percent thrust. 

64
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,500
And despite the Restriction, 
booster 7 broke records by 

65
00:03:45,500 --> 00:03:51,100
generating an astounding 67. 
8,000, kilonewtons of thrust 

66
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,400
surpassing the Soviet Union's N1
rocket, which held the previous 

67
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,500
record. 
It 45 thousand four hundred 

68
00:03:58,500 --> 00:04:02,400
kilonewtons of thrust. 
Now with the hold-down clamps 

69
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:07,000
released booster 7 and ship, 24,
lifted off from the pad, it T. 

70
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:12,500
Minus 0 simultaneously, the ship
QT, arm responsible for fueling 

71
00:04:12,500 --> 00:04:17,399
ship 24, this engaged and 
retracted to avoid damage from 

72
00:04:17,399 --> 00:04:19,700
the departing rocket. 
And it's exhaust. 

73
00:04:19,899 --> 00:04:23,800
Now as the full stack began, its
gravity turn the vehicle, clear?

74
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,600
The tower and pitched down range
toward the Gulf of Mexico and 

75
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:32,100
booster seven experience. 
The loss of five to six Raptor 

76
00:04:32,100 --> 00:04:36,400
engines during the first stage 
Ascent but successfully endured 

77
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,200
Max Q. 
This is the period of peak 

78
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,300
aerodynamic stress around 55 
seconds. 

79
00:04:42,300 --> 00:04:46,200
After liftoff at this Milestone 
tested, the structural Integrity

80
00:04:46,500 --> 00:04:49,700
of both 24 and and booster 
seven. 

81
00:04:49,900 --> 00:04:54,100
Now unfortunately, though the 
vehicle began to spin and was 

82
00:04:54,100 --> 00:04:57,100
ultimately destroyed by the 
flight termination system, 

83
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,100
despite the premature end, the 
test flight provided invaluable 

84
00:05:01,100 --> 00:05:03,800
insights into the performance of
the Starship system. 

85
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,900
Now in a hypothetical full 
mission, profile booster 7 would

86
00:05:08,900 --> 00:05:13,200
have continued burning until 
around the t plus 2 minutes and 

87
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:18,300
49 seconds Mark at which point 
all 33 engines would have. 

88
00:05:18,500 --> 00:05:22,800
Down four booster engine cutoff.
The vehicle would have then been

89
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,900
at an altitude of approximately 
64 kilometers or 40 miles up and

90
00:05:27,900 --> 00:05:32,700
climbing rapidly ship. 24 would 
have separated from booster, 74 

91
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,000
seconds. 
Later coasting away from the 

92
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,400
booster for five seconds before 
igniting. 

93
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:42,200
It's six wrapped or two engines.
Now this ambitious test flight 

94
00:05:42,300 --> 00:05:46,200
was designed without the 
intention of placing ship 24 in 

95
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,200
a stable orbit. 
Now instead the Engines have 

96
00:05:49,500 --> 00:05:51,900
what a fire. 
Just short of full orbital 

97
00:05:51,900 --> 00:05:54,100
insertion. 
Sending the spacecraft on a 

98
00:05:54,108 --> 00:05:57,600
trajectory to re-enter over the 
Pacific Ocean near Hawaii. 

99
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,900
Now, meanwhile, booster 7 would 
have flipped around just after 

100
00:06:02,900 --> 00:06:08,200
stage separation in reignited. 
Its inner 13 engines for What's 

101
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,100
called the Boost back burn, 
which would have occurred a 

102
00:06:11,100 --> 00:06:13,300
little over three minutes after 
liftoff. 

103
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,400
Now, this burn would have lasted
about 55 seconds. 

104
00:06:16,700 --> 00:06:19,200
Directing the booster towards a 
splash Down in the Gulf of 

105
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,500
Mexico, roughly 19 miles off the
Texas coast. 

106
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,800
Now, unlike the Falcon 9 though 
booster 7 wasn't designed to 

107
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,300
perform an entry burn as the 
stainless steel construction 

108
00:06:32,300 --> 00:06:34,900
offers great temperature 
resistance compared to the 

109
00:06:34,900 --> 00:06:39,000
aluminum used in Falcon 9 
instead, booster 7 would have 

110
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,900
relied on its for grid, fins for
orientation and steering towards

111
00:06:42,900 --> 00:06:46,600
the targeted, Landing zone of 
the Gulf of Mexico. 

112
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,300
Now, the vehicle was expected to
go. 

113
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,600
Go transonic around seven and a 
half minutes after liftoff with 

114
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,100
a final Landing burn. 
Starting around 10 seconds later

115
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,500
at this Landing burn lasting 
approximately 23 seconds would 

116
00:07:00,500 --> 00:07:03,600
have used the boosters three 
innermost engines, bring you the

117
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:08,000
booster to an impact speed of 
about eight point five 

118
00:07:08,300 --> 00:07:11,600
milliseconds which is 19 miles 
per second. 

119
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,500
Sorry 19 mph upon hitting the 
water. 

120
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,200
The water and 10 seconds after 
Splashdown boost. 

121
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,600
Seven would have tipped over 
onto its side in the event. 

122
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,400
That the tip over did not cause 
the vehicle to break apart vent.

123
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,700
Veils on both propellant tanks, 
would have opened to allow water

124
00:07:28,700 --> 00:07:32,100
to flood the vehicle sinking. 
It intentionally, they don't 

125
00:07:32,100 --> 00:07:35,400
plan to recover those now. 
SpaceX is ultimate goal is to 

126
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,400
fly super heavy boosters, back 
to the launch site and use the 

127
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,400
massive Chopsticks mounted on 
the launch Tower to catch the 

128
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,800
boosters as they come in for a 
landing. 

129
00:07:46,100 --> 00:07:49,200
Now, this Innovative approach 
could enable Turnaround times 

130
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:53,700
for the boosters as no recovery 
assets would be needed in the 

131
00:07:53,700 --> 00:07:56,500
vehicles could be placed 
directly back onto the launch 

132
00:07:56,500 --> 00:08:00,900
Mount shortly after landing. 
Now, assuming ship 24 had 

133
00:08:00,900 --> 00:08:05,300
reached engine cutoff, it would 
have coasted for slightly over 

134
00:08:05,300 --> 00:08:07,000
an hour. 
And during this time, the 

135
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,900
vehicle would have vented all, 
but nearly 14, tons of 

136
00:08:10,900 --> 00:08:15,600
propellant, that's 10, tons of 
locks liquid oxygen and four 

137
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:20,800
tons of CH4 And to maintain the 
correct amount of ballast during

138
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,800
re-entry. 
That would have happened if the 

139
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,700
vehicle had survived. 
The nearly 10 minute long 

140
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:31,100
re-entry, phase shift 24 would 
have gone, transcending, just 

141
00:08:31,100 --> 00:08:35,100
under 1 & a half hours after 
lifting off from Starbase for 

142
00:08:35,100 --> 00:08:38,700
this test flight don't recovery.
Attempt would have been made for

143
00:08:38,700 --> 00:08:42,600
ship 24. 
Unlike booster 7 ship 24 would 

144
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,000
not have performed a landing 
burn. 

145
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,100
It was expected to impact the 
ocean at terminal velocity. 

146
00:08:48,500 --> 00:08:52,300
Approximately one and a half 
hours after liftoff, had the 

147
00:08:52,300 --> 00:08:55,400
mission progressed that far. 
Unfortunately, they did have to 

148
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:59,100
terminate the flight with the 
flight termination system over 

149
00:08:59,100 --> 00:09:02,900
the Gulf of Mexico and they lost
both the booster and the ship 

150
00:09:02,900 --> 00:09:05,800
during this flame. 
Now, despite the challenges 

151
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,100
faced during the test flight, 
the data in the experience, 

152
00:09:09,100 --> 00:09:12,400
gained from the event will 
contribute to the development of

153
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,600
future Starship missions with 
each new test. 

154
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:21,100
Each new booster, each new ship,
SpaceX takes one step closer to 

155
00:09:21,100 --> 00:09:25,900
transforming space travel, 
making the dream of affordable, 

156
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:31,100
huge space, travel, huge, 
Rockets affordable, and 

157
00:09:31,100 --> 00:09:34,400
sustainable for the future of 
all humankind.
