At the end of 2020, astronomers discovered an old rocket booster from the 1960’s making its surprise return to Earth. In this video I will be looking at the mysterious return of NASA's centaur rocket and how scientists use spectroscopy to identify objects like this one.

If exposure to space alters spectroscopic properties of the materials we use, it would be interesting to track the changes in these properties in something that goes up and returns many times, such as a falcon 9 booster. Their limited exposure to low pressure microgravity environments should be able to provide many data points on this.

@arcosprey4811 Год назад

its not space itself, but rather solar radiation. The F9 boosters don't really get that affected by solar radiation but if you look up pictures of the Skylab station and its CSM you can see how much solar energy affects the materials. They appear rusty, corroded. The ISS has special protection against that since its more modern ofcourse.

@makon2824 Год назад

@craidiefin 3 года назад

@@jameslangridge1674 If not monitored you risk the loss of a spacecraft because there was a piece of debree in the way. Which creates a cloud of debree further increasing the chances of hitting something. Which causes more collisions. Worst case scenario is that the chain reaction creates a cloud of debris that prevents spaceflight for years, maybe even decades. This is known as Kesslers syndrome. Luckily only one major collision has occured. In 2009 Kosmos-2251 and Iridium-33 collided at a nearly 90 degree angle creating two debris clouds and by 2011 around 2000 fragments of 10cm or larger were catalogued.

It's crazy that we can analyze the composition of objects and planets from so far away And if we'd ever receive a visit from an actual alien spacecraft we could even make out what it's made of

@paulstein8854 Год назад

I love the idea that we would probably be able to tell if an object is artificial and not made by us. Sure we might not be able to do much about or with it, but at least we can say we were aware.

The Roadster is not free-floating in space. It's still firmly attached to the Falcon 9 second stage, so the visuals should show that. Also, all the wheels were removed except for one which is visible in one of the camera views (front left). 👍

@samrowe2889 Год назад

Why were the wheels removed

@ganymede3141 Год назад

@@samrowe2889 The wheels were removed because they were trying to shave as much mass off of the car as possibleb (battery was removed as well) to be able to launch it into heliocentric orbit (solar orbit). The wheel that they kept on (so it could be seen in one of the cameras and give the illusion that all 4 were left on) had the suspension removed and was welded in place to the subframe to prevent strong vibrations and possible damage from the rough launch environmemt.

I kinda wish they would have tried to point a telescope at it and taken a picture, could have been a cool image.

@devindykstra 3 года назад

Sorry to be downer, but It would be really hard to see. They would have needed a super powerful telescope and even then it likely wouldn't be clearly visible.

@jasonpatterson8091 3 года назад

I'm wondering when the mystery of this begins. It was observed, people went, "Huh, that must be an old rocket stage," then immediately figured out what type and then which mission's booster stage it was. This was then confirmed by additional observations. What was the mystery?

@honkhonk8009 Год назад

Theres no mystery. Its just cool. Imagine coming back in a few years and grabbing this piece of literal history and dragging it back into a parking orbit. Like it was launched in the 60s. Its older than the majority of people living on this planet. Its cool knowing that when it comes back at its closest approach, we would living history for the next generation of people to put in museums and such.

@cpufreak101 3 года назад

@Ms Ignautus I believe an actual plausible solution is dedicated "graveyard orbits" around most celestial bodies. We already have graveyard orbits for satellites around Earth not low enough to burn up on their own (albeit not every satellite reaches this). Even if their existence becomes forgotten, it'd at least A: be out of the way, and B: provide some clues to future astronomers as to how this "artificial ring" came to be.

@DavidJJJ 3 года назад

That’s correct, the videos from these sorts of channels are all pre launched months in advance, since they are not time sensitive. You just need a bunch of stock footage, Wikipedia and a semi decent narrator. And as someone mentioned in the comments it may as well be a computer narrating it.
