May 27, 2019 · The SpaceX logo is lower on Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy (and not squashed as you have it on FH). Octagrabber doesn't wait for landing stages on the platform of course; I'd suggest you do a separate panel for that if you want to do it at all.

Jan 15, 2025 · Carrying science and tech on Firefly Aerospace’s first CLPS or Commercial Lunar Payload Services flight for NASA, Blue Ghost Mission 1 launched at 1:11 a.m. EST aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The company is targeting a lunar landing on Sunday, March 2.

Mar 25, 2017 · I'm building scale models of the Falcon 9, for this purpose I'm trying to get reasonably accurate dimensions of the rocket. This has proven non-straightforward, as SpaceX doesn't publish more than the total length and diameter, so no data for the individual stages.

Aug 6, 2013 · A major change from Falcon 9 v1.0 and Falcon 9 v1.1 is that all 9 engines are exactly the same. In Falcon 9 v1.0 there were three different models for the center, side, and corner engines. So its already known that some engines having gimbaling and others not is …

Dec 20, 2024 · A Falcon 9 will launch a Starlink batch on TBD at 12:00-4:00 a.m. EST. A Falcon 9 will launch the Thuraya 4-NGS communication satellite for the UAE on December TBD at 12:00-1:23 a.m. EST. A Falcon 9 will launch the first Firefly Blue Ghost & second Japanese iSpace HAKUTO-R lunar landers to the moon on mid-January TBA.

Apr 13, 2023 · For example the orbits (i) 200 km 28.5 degree LEO and (ii) C3 = -2 km^2 / s^2 high energy show performance numbers for other launchers but not for Falcon 9 or Falcon Heavy. Edit: Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy do show up for some orbits, e.g. C3 = -1.5 km^2 / s^2.

Oct 23, 2013 · 1) I think that for the Falcon 9-R the Delta-v is smaller rather than higher. This because while the 9 version is staging at Mach 10, the 9-R separates at Mach 6, that is a big difference in speed. I guess larger than the additional weight of the landing gear etc. that someone evaluate at 2.5 - 4.5 metric tons (I guess closer to the first).

Oct 27, 2020 · The report lays out exactly what would be required, and is in fact exactly what the Falcon 9 does (except using GPS rather than external navigation aids for terminal guidance). And the technology of the late 60s would have clearly sufficed, as commercial airplane autoland, Surveyor, LEM automated landings, and so on showed.
