Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Plumber576: DARPA satellites damaged at SpaceX processing facility at least it sounds like they were "cheap" cube-sat satellites that were damaged. https://www.darpa.mil/news-events/2020-05-11 The upcoming demonstration flights are all planned as rideshares, catching a ride to LEO on a launch with other missions. The first demonstration, Mandrake 1, is a cubesat that will carry supercomputer processing chips. Mandrake 2 is a pair of small satellites that will carry optical inter-satellite links for broadband data. These could form the basis of future optically meshed computer networks in LEO. The program also is targeting a risk reduction payload called Wildcard, a software-defined radio that will experiment with links from LEO to tactical radios. A data fusion experiment with the ability to host advanced third party algorithms, known as massless payloads, is intended for an upcoming Loft Orbital mission. “It's important that we get the design right,” says Paul “Rusty” Thomas, the program manager for Blackjack. “We focused first on buses and payloads, then the autonomous mission management system, which we call Pit Boss. We anticipate we'll begin integrating the first two military payloads next summer with launch via rideshare in late 2021, followed by the remainder of the Blackjack demonstration sub-constellation in 2022.” Blackjack aims to demonstrate sensors that are low in size, weight, and power, and that can be mass produced to fit on many different buses from many different providers, for less than $2 million per payload. |

Ooops!
First post on this page beat me to the RUH-RO! Someone has some 'Splainin' to do, Elons going to be pissed. An SN RUD, part of the testing process. A satellite 'falls' over, human error. I could only imagine how loud the 'Oh Shit' was. |

I was impressed with satellites stats, 10,000 Watts output, resulting in a much smaller receiving dish on the downlink-earth end.
The old ones were HUGE due to limited capacity of the early solar cells and downlink power was very low power wattage. |

Then they see pics like this so I have to make a circle with my thumb and index finger, then using other index finger demonstrate a LEO vs. a GEOS orbit. Is fun educating people, actually asked to to inform them of the next one, especially on the new 80" TV.

Good satellite deployment.
The next mission will be great with lots of deployments unless the mishap a few days ago delays the flight. |

We moved and won't be getting in to our new place for about a month. This is about 3 miles away from the new place , staying in a motel about 3 miles off the beach. Took this from the 2nd story balcony. Our new home will have a much better view. |

"Last flown for the seventh time on December 13th, Falcon 9 B1051 is now scheduled to attempt its eighth orbital-class launch and landing just 36 days later, beating the 51-day world record by almost a third (~30%) and simultaneously becoming the first Falcon booster to launch eight times."

Weather is supposed to be clear tomorrow morning so I hope it's a go.
A bit on the cool side but that shouldn't be a launch issue. |
