how cool is that!

SpaceX engineers spent several days inspecting Ship 40 in the waters off Christmas Island. They collected heatshield samples and gained vital insight into how the vehicle handled reentry with improvements now planned on future vehicles

The sci-future I dreamed about as a kid is right here at our doorstep

Did you know you can request the raw photos from the Artemis II mission? There is a lot of information hidden in the RAWs that isn't visible in the jpgs.

Check the next post in this thread for the raw

@Erdayastronaut or maybe it’s just how it feels to get older… these things suddenly start to matter. the mind also gets less flexible to try out new things. feeling similar here 🙈

@RealRusty „Unter Berücksichtigung, dass es in diesem Jahr einen Start und einen Unfall gab, sind die Gesamtemissionen ungefähr 327500 Mal geringer als die der Luftfahrt.“

[genia pronina @geniavp]

@RealRusty Hier ist eine gute Antwort!

От лица уебанов обращаюсь к тем, кого забанили в поисковике. Во-первых, сперва выясняем, что на ракете не гептил, а почти 300 тонн метана, а всё остальное водород и кислород. Затем открываем страницу регулятора FAA с анализом выбросов для New Glenn на основе огневых тестов и 12 пусков в год. Получаем цифру в 54500 раз меньше выбросов гражданской авиации, которая составляет примерно 2% от общемировых.

Учитывая, что в этом году был 1 пуск и одна авария, то общие выбросы примерно а 327500 раз меньше, чем от авиации.

@RealRusty Das Wichtigste auf Deutsch: Gemäss Seite von FAA mit der Analyse der Emissionen für New Glenn basierend auf Feuer-Tests und 12 Starts pro Jahr, erhalten wir eine Zahl, die 54500 Mal geringer ist als die Emissionen der Zivilluftfahrt, die etwa 2 % der weltweiten ausmacht.

“My responsibilities included developing and refining instructions for various stages of preparing the orbital ship Buran at the launch complex, as well as for the ground test complex from which the launch was controlled.” #ElenaPronina on her responsibilities in Buran program

@jamesncantrell how amazing!

[genia pronina @geniavp]

@WDequid nice work on the photo!

[genia pronina @geniavp]

@zergotron yes, it is sad. I guess people did not see any value in it. besides, the frustration about the cancellation must have been huge. it’s a nice piece of memory you have here!

Photo of the pass on the name of #ElenaPronina which allowed access to the bunker just 5km away from the launch tower, from which the launch was controlled

[genia pronina @geniavp]

@ShuttleAlmanac thank you! no, I only know Irina Yakovlevna Pronina. There are some more photos of Baikonur, but they are more personal and she does not want to share them for now. Besides, before 1991 it was strictly forbidden to bring any photo equipment to the site.

[genia pronina @geniavp]

@zergotron I will ask her!

[genia pronina @geniavp]

@11K25_Energia so cool! thank you for sharing it. I will send it to my aunt. unfortunately she can only access the archive with the VPN and they also have frequent internet disruptions in Russia, so for her it is not easy to go through the archive herself

[genia pronina @geniavp]

@11K25_Energia Very welcome, I am happy she agreed! I will do.

[genia pronina @geniavp]

@astrogrant thank you for sharing it. As Buran first flew in 1988, Elena was just 25 years old!

[genia pronina @geniavp]

@11K25_Energia yes, it is!

[genia pronina @geniavp]

My aunt #ElenaPronina who worked on Buran, has some more photos from Baikonur in her archive, but since they are more personal, she does not wish them to be published. If something changes, I will let you know ☺️
