As Scott Manky pointed out. Near the end of stage 2s flight. The oxygen level was dropping to below methane levels rapidly. Yes. I know. I spelled Manly incorrectly. I would change it. But so many of you like to express your whityness. I decided to leave it as is. Enjoy

I think its because during hot-stage separation, shockwaves reflected back and damaged the fuel injection system, cause fires and leaks on LOX tank. The same shockwave also cause several leaks and damages in the booster

@astrogeo1 8 месяцев назад

Why did the tank(s) leak ? A weak construction, means more weight needs to be put on then ?

@joshua43214 8 месяцев назад

@@astrogeo1The most likely place for the tank to leak is at the fill connection, which would probably not mean huge weight gains to fix.

Yep, it definitely seems like oxygen loss may have been the culprit for the ship RUDing. Hopefully they'll fix that leak for IFT-3 and we can see a cool spashdown by Hawaii!

@Mattsretiring 8 месяцев назад

Great report. Thanks. My 2c on the booster is how aggressive the flip maneuver appeared. That must have contributed to fuel slosh.

@parkershaw8529 8 месяцев назад

It appears the booster needs to push harder during stage separation to prevent propellant sloshing next time. And flipping can be done by three engines, after that, ignite more to do boost back.

@RGVAerialPhotography 8 месяцев назад

Hopefully they'll address those issues for IFT-3 and we get to see a booster splashdown!

Just amazing work, so quick and so well done. I'm going back to look at that still of ST nosecone!!!

@mistrants2745 8 месяцев назад

Scott Manley had a, to my ears, very convincing theory. During the hot staging, you can see there is major and FAST deceleration of the heavy booster. That might have sloshed the fuel too much causing the engines to fail. You can even see engines fail that havent even been turned off. Then its perfectly possible water ram in the emptied downcommer might have caused the RUD.

@thorin1045 8 месяцев назад

one thing that almost never mentioned, the booster slowed down (barely) at the separation, the entire reason of letting the three core engines lit is to prevent this and the resulting slosh, so it maybe not the slosh from the flip, but from the slowing down (which probably not expected, while the flip slosh should be expected end mitigated.)

@bradclifton5248 8 месяцев назад

It would be amazing if the issues were mere software and a few timing and methodological changes to programming were enough to resolve the issues.

@Ian.Does.Fitness 8 месяцев назад

Yes, as Elon says, often the most ironic outcome is what ends up happening. In this case hot staging meant to mitigate propellant issues actually caused propellant issues! 😅 If so though, it’s literally a few tweaks to engine firing and timings and it should work great! The upgraded FTS made to work more efficiently just maybe was a bit trigger happy too! If true, another bit of irony. I bet Elon has been laughing!

@Nidvard 8 месяцев назад

Good catch. If those numbers are accurate, it seems like that slowing down is short but rather significant which could very well point to this being the issue.

@LunnarisLP 8 месяцев назад

@@bradclifton5248 Actually I do think this is most likely. That being said I disagree caling it "mere software changes". Its not so easy to get this stuff right, thats why often enough changes in the hardware are prefered just to make things easier to code.

@jonathancohen2506 8 месяцев назад

With such a radical flip maneuver, and possible fuel starvation being the issue, why not shut down only outer ring on the booster and throttle down the rest. Keeping them lit could resolve needing to relight mid flip

@iamzid 8 месяцев назад

i think either the flip was too fast or the hot staging caused the propellant to slosh away from the fuel drains. either way, i'm sure that spacex had tank cameras in the booster and they already know exactly what the problem was. oh well, considering how well they addressed the problems from last time i have confidence that they'll solve these problems before the next launch.

@RGVAerialPhotography 8 месяцев назад

@@mistrants2745 But the "decelaration" was felt as constant forward acceleration by the booster! Rather, the lateral (pitching or yawing) rotation of the booster would have caused sloshing. Hopefully, not too much weight will be added by longitudinal baffles needed to stop this sloshing.

@lawrenceallen8096 8 месяцев назад

@@randyschreiner7807 Of course I'm including Apollo 1 and 1B and many other hardware tests. The Starship is evolving as we speak. Testing, swapping out equipment (e.g. hydraulic actuators for electric, "flick" separation for hot staging, FTS, etc.). And there will be many variations that will emerge from this initial testing: Tanker versions, Starlink Pez dispenser versions, Lunar landing module versions, even complete launch and forget space station versions. From there, looking back, you wouldn't say 'Those initial starship launches were entirely different rockets," would you?
