SpaceX Starship Flight 5 Animation

It's been awhile since i made an animation, tried out new things with camera angles and smoke sims, hope you like it.

[@SeaDemon25]

when that booster recovery happens in real life for the first time its going to be crazy

[@bazanime]

Imagine catching a booster and a starship as well as a full a RTLS test. Brains will explode!

[@ivanshevchuk1699]

It will historical event

[@MrCabbage-qz2vd]

IFT 5 will be the fuel transfer test

[@NassimSYD]

​@@bazanime it will look like the launch never happened like you time traveled back to where the vehicles were still on the pad. Crazy

[@riparianlife97701]

Stronger engines, no heavy engine shielding, no heavy hot staging adapter, optimized grid fins... It's going to be lighter, stronger, faster and tougher than we can imagine, and it's going to fly as often as a 737.

[@clevergirl4457]

I don’t think my brain could handle a booster catch next flight 🫣

[@ErikBromley]

Me neither. Needless to say looking forward to it!!

[@tonywood3660]

Yeah and imagine the environmental damage to the surrounding wildlife reserve, maybe your brain can't handle that either.

[@kiwakatoraco8533]

Amazing work! Hope this happens on flight 5

[@J7Handle]

Booster catch will likely happen with the arms turned to the side, so it's not catching directly above the pad. This in case the arms break, you'd rather drop the booster on the ground rather than on the pad.

[@rainman6598]

In the virtual catch during ift4 the water deluge system did run during the virtual catch, which makes it likely to be caught above the pad.

[@anacletomarcelino243]

The arms turned to the side after clear the tower in ift4. You can see in NSF video. The deluge system during the virtual catch is a adicional protection for the pad.

[@AngryPenguin22]

You nailed the onboard camera angles. Looked identical to the stuff SpaceX showed.

[@AstroNautics-Official]

Hopefully it’s like that.. hopefully

[@danielemancini2547]

Very, very nice animation. Congrats! We dont have to forget that the booster once catched, it will contain some ton of CH4...and this is not sand or water...

Good animation, appreciate it. You can add telemetry data as well.

[@OverlandBound]

Nice one!

[@IamDuf]

I have an idea for a methodology for getting fuel and infrastructure to space with starship for building a tank farm. Using three telescoping rod spars that run the full length of the ship, so as to allow for the mid section of the ship to roll out and be deployed at the maximum zenith. using a depth charger like ejection system to propel the canister tanker pod into a higher orbit so as to be captured grasped with a deployed starship drone ship. reintegration of the nose and rear aft power sections of the ship for reentry into the atmosphere and capture on the second pad side of the tower one OEM for take off with one for landing... once captured the ship gets stretched for integration with the next midsection cargo pod waiting for deployment from the midsection cargo pod tube deployment system within the dual pad tower system ... heat shield tiles only needed the returning sections of the ship. more fuel for deployment wondering feasibility and what savings may be gained with implementation and if possible a diagram with the actions of the launch contained within this system. be cool if you could create an animation for this scenario... Elon said the starship will basically land on the water next to the tower then maneuver so as to have the chop sticks grab the ship. tia if you take it upon yourself

[@angellestat2730]

Great animation... But the music ruined the video.

[@Thefreakyfreek]

Depends I love it

[@krypton13_56]

Don't forget we're having 100% sure a doerbit burn test

[@billybobthe9thjr786]

very cool dude

[@DJFlirt]

Both should land on land as its not going to hurt anything at this point and sve the water if in full effect , let's go , let's go!

[@Frosti800]

Starship is on fire 🔥🔥🔥

[@marcboon6267]

I doubt they will attempt the return-to-tower landing of the booster on the next test flight, but yes, that's the ultimate goal.

[@dungeonmaster8612]

cool,waiting in jule-august

[@Robby368]

Expending the hot stage ring is temporary. They may plan to keep in intact for IFT-5

[@Chexalim]

I disagree. first step is to reduce as much risk as possible while attempting to achieve greater milestones. If they plan to try with the hot staging ring, it will be 1 or more flights after a successful catch.

[@HermieWasHere]

@@Chexalim they are making the hot stage ring lighter so it wont be as heavy.

[@fullmoonprepping4024]

God I wish they used better music in these simulations.

[@Patriot3]

Ditch the music and come off the pad slower. Very cool

[@Ship30]

so this is what my flight will be like :)

[@user-ve4vk5no5o]

It's about time for starship to get landing legs and try to land.

[@julianemery718]

Starship won't have landing legs, that's the whole reason for the chopsticks.

[@alexandrius4971]

​@@julianemery718He's right. On Mars aren't any chopsticks, so its the right way to prove the landing capabilitys with landing legs.

[@BlackBullPistol]

Really nice animation. But they will not throw off the hot stage ring on Flight 5 as far as I know, it was probably already re-designed :-)

[@stofamaan]

my guess is they will land starship on land this time. They succeeded in landing the booster. and starship also "landed" how they wanted and almost at the right location.

[@Darth_Revan25]

When SpaceX manage to pull off catching both the super heavy AND starship, it'll be a total gamechanger in cheaply getting stuff to space and back. Cannot. Wait.

[@tonywood3660]

yeah case of reality catching up with fiction. Maybe....

[@smudge7251]

beautiful simulation. catching the booster with the chopsticks will be spectacular. Is it another splash down for the ship in flight 5? i thought maybe they would try land it.

[@sergeant_salty]

I will literally cry if they catch the booster on the first try. They're gonna have to name SpaceX the 8th wonder of the world

[@MrCabbage-qz2vd]

SpaceX will be the biggest commercial Space company aside from nasa in the near future

[@fatitankeris6327]

It'd be nice if they perfected everything for the catch beforehand like how NASA was planning the SLS. Destroying the tower would be bad.

[@sergeant_salty]

@fatitankeris6327 valid criticism, but after all these years of Starship development I've grown to like the approach. Plus, good news, the 2nd launch tower is under construction👍

[@PaoloDanielAviationSpaceflight]

Cool

[@tylertoenyes7530]

Future flights will not have a separation of the hot stage ring. The ring will be engineered to be much lighter and integrated into the booster design.

[@FutureAIDev2015]

Are they seriously already going for the catch on flight 5? Holy crap That'll be amazing

[@ihateflatearthers]

Elon confirmed

[@ThiagoNunesRS]

I think for the flight 5 the booster 12 will have hot staging ring soldered, it will be orbital, will deliver some starlinks v2, will do a deorbit burn after a orbit and a half and Ship will land on Gulf of Mexico.

[@ihateflatearthers]

The point of jettisoning the ring is to reduce weight, which is for v1 boosters, future boosters will have lighter integrated structure

[@Shoz_]

Dope

[@tomdarco2223]

Right On

[@paprikar]

i guess chopstick arms are better to move too, just more control overall. With all directions.

[@av_kovko]

In the Booster, it is necessary to improve the flame extinguishing system after turning off 13 engines after landing the Mechazilla, otherwise rapid unscheduled disassembly of the Booster and destored OLM.

[@The1QwertySky]

there is no flame extinguishing system, theres a deluge if thats what you mean and nothing needs to be improved there

[@michaeldeierhoi4096]

Also the OLT is sturdy to handle a RUD on the pad after the booster has returned primarily because little fuel is left in the tanks.

[@ThePhantomRocket]

Only change I'd really make is that the catch is, as of now, planned to be pretty much directly over the OLM, with the deluge running. Other than that, great work!

[@pantheraerospace752]

I predict the in-space Raptor relight will happen as well

[@reagank.2268]

where did you get that information? I haven't seen that anywhere

[@Niklas09]

@@reagank.2268 Elon Musk got asked in an Interview for the next launch, and he said that the fourth launch was really good for the Booster that they could do an catch landing on the pad for the next launch.

@@Proxicentia omg your insane! i just used a tile texture and streched it accross the vehicle. But i appreciate your hard work!

[@ogaduby]

great animation, but i dont think the starbase, launch platform and everything there are worth risking it having booster land there for IFT-5. nor the starship for that matter... 1 or 2 more successful soft splashdowns and then, for sure... they have future reiterations already being implemented, all these are kind-of older versions of both starship and its booster.

[@AzutodwasTaken]

how do you make an animation man i,ve always wondered that but im guessing you dont have to make every frame right like there has to be somthing

would like to see a small cut scene where the booster rotates to align the nubs with the chopsticks. ntm pendulations of the booster...

[@SajuukGold]

Killer music go SpaceX go!!!!!!!

[@Thefreakyfreek]

I did not expect this musick here At All but i lov3 it

[@tonywood3660]

When and if they can get this thing to LEO and beyond with 100 tonne load as musk keeps waffling on about then maybe give it some credence. As it is, it cant reach LEO in a completely stripped out version as the fuel capacity is too low. As for fueling in orbit, the paradigm is sadly lacking although the CGI is pretty impressive. Artemis - 1 , starship - minus 4

[@clevergirl4457]

Lol this is some fan made animation why are you complaining here?? Anyways, the test flights are not fully fueled to account for the lack of payload: ofc it can reach LEO, the velocity of the 3rd and 4th flights were literally just a couple 100km/h from 27,000km/h. In a little over a year this program has gone from a tumbling mess of dying engines, to having both vehicles safely splashdown under control.

[@intheknow7659]

As long as it doesn't go BOOM at the tower or suddenly drops..

[@michaeldeierhoi4096]

If the booster dropped there is little fuel left in the tank to cause a big boom and it definitely would not effect the OLT much because it is very sturdy.

[@intheknow7659]

@@michaeldeierhoi4096 Shock load is unknown. The devices to terminate a booster, if they malfunction..

[@michaeldeierhoi4096]

@@intheknow7659 If you are referring to the FTS that is a separate issue though it might be activated if the booster was returning off course. But the part I think they have down pat for the booster. The issue is if the catch fails at the tower. It may, but I expect Space X will do everything possible to make it succeed. We'll see.
