Skyroot Aerospace - Updates & Activities

[Suryavanshi]

Chinese state media, banners layout and coverage has it's own old essence. So is ours.

Yes what matters is the substance behind it, no one will care for the small stuff once we start sending starships out of the orbit.
Further these things become cultural Icon and way more appreciated.

At this point people are just sweating the small stuff.
Lauch achieved 90% of the objective and that's enough. They will bring in more fancy stuff once they indulge in bigger projects.

Is thier any greater tech than semi cryo engines in space launch vehicle?

Happened at last stage of its path right?

@Vamsi

SpaceX's Raptor is best engine imo, full flow stage combustion cycle, much more complex than SCE-200's Oxidiser rich cycle & still has higher T/w ratio than SCE-200

during ascent

What's the most complex engines of Russia China Japan Europe ?

Russians, Chinese's most complex is Oxidiser rich Keralox engine, Japanese most complex is Fuel Rich Hydrolox & European's is Gas generator Hydrolox I think

Attach Twimg to thread also bro.

How is the skyroot-isro partnership structured?
Do skyroot has to pay isro for using their facilities ?

Yes

Looks like were using some color wrap around the lower half .

Regarding loss of telemetry during descend . Might be due to curvature of earth . Anyway its descend .

-is it the case that carbonfibre structure could'nt hold after liftoff, hence the cracks?
-spin stabilisers did their job, inspite of the structural failure of outer sleeve, hence the successful mission.
-but when it came back, structural stability must have been near zero, hence loss of telemetry at the end.
-a bullet does not hold the shape without the spin, when it tumbles down to earth.

This crack appeared during the last phase of ascent, probably when it reached Mach 5. Will watch video again to see when exactly it happened

it was not flapping like paper at such high speeds, whatever it was, it had some structural integrity in it.

 

[kurup]

They have used some kind of wrap to cover the entire rocket. That wrap must have disintergrated while ascent . That is in no way a metalic part of rocket .

 

[rone]

The thing everyone overlooking is a space startup with less than 100 million funding achieving something some progressed countries with billion dollars GDP cant even able to do,

 

[Vamsi]

WTF?? Why are the founders sitting back??

Watch again . Just after the spin . The covering starts coming out . At mac 5 when wind is pressing from other side , covering should behave like that . I might be wrong .
