Watch SpaceX launch Crew-9, returning w/ the Boeing Crew!

SpaceX's Crew-9 mission is the 9th operational flight under NASA's Commercial Crew Program. Launching NET September 28, 2024, it will be the first crewed launch from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. This mission will transport NASA astronauts Nick Hague and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov to the International Space Station (ISS) for a science mission known as Expedition 72, lasting approximately five months.
It was originally planned with a crew of four, but adjustments were made due to issues with the Boeing Starliner, reducing the crew size but maintaining the mission's critical objectives. Crew-9 represents a significant milestone as the first crewed mission from this launch pad and will conclude with a historic splashdown in the Pacific Ocean, introducing new operational procedures for SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft as well as being nicknamed the "Boeing Rescue Mission" as it will be the mission that will return Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams from the Boeing Crewed Flight Test.

[@paulmichaelfreedman8334]

Exciting indeed, but I think that when Starship is operational, their focus will have to be on HLS and getting a starship moonbound. The re-using part will be put on the backburner for a bit, I suspect. But when HLS is ready, they'll be right back on track, as they'll have to re-use tanker starships a lot, from the get-go.

first crewed launch from SpaceX's workhorse pad SLC-40! What a show. and next year we'll see these two guys come back with Butch and Suni. Good thing the Florida weather cleared up just in time for liftoff, I thought we were in for a scrub.

[@kgsimracing]

I’ll never get over watching a booster land. I know it’s as routine as a sunrise nowadays…. But when I watch a landing, I cant help but think of how much went into getting a 135ft structure to land with such precision. From every valve and turbo pump…to each engine and every relight.. to the sensors, software and guidance system. Everything working in harmony to do something I never thought I’d ever see. It’s truly amazing and they continue to make it look so easy

[@CRBenham20]

really sucks that a company like boeing can strand 2 people in space forcing the dragon crew to launch with 2 empty seats to bring them back, meanwhile the FAA is hammering spaceX with delays on starship for "safety" reasons when they are the ones who will be bringing those two stranded astronauts back from the station.

I think the new 9 engine burn offers redundancy to prevent another booster landing incident like the last one

[@nixonperez]

It was a single engine entry burn, this burn profile started with AX-2 and since then Crew-7, AX-3, Crew-8 and now Crew-9 have used it too. Its a single engine entry burn and a 1-3-1 engine landing burn. The Falcon Heavy Side Boosters for the Jupiter3/EchoStar24 mission also used this 1 engine entry burn and 3 engine landing burn profile.

[@rryk]

Does it get quieter inside the cabin once the rocket is flying past the speed of sound? Obviously, some vibrations will go through the rocket itself, but I wonder if there is a noticeable reduction in sound volume for the astronauts.

[@slamhead]

Does heat from the exaust cone radiate in space? I would think it does not.

The thing about MaxQ is if you say “maximum dynamic pressure” you still haven’t explained anything. If you say “dynamic pressure is the force of the moving air. If you’re driving and you stick your hand out of the window at 80 mph, you get 16x as much force on it as if you were driving 20 mph. That’s the force associated with dynamic pressure, and that’s how it works, relative to speed.” If you say that, THEN people will know what you’re saying.

I was just noticing that max-q happens right at the scale height altitude, which on Earth is about 8km (the guy called out the max-q at 8.1 km). That's the altitude where the pressure is 1/e of the STP. Is that just a coincidence or is there some relationship there?

[@Fadamor]

If they didn't separate until after nominal orbit insertion, does that mean the second stage is now going to orbit for the foreseeable future?

They usually have a deorbit margin. I think the only 2nd stages that don't are GTO.

[@saedali4446]

Is it my eye or it's same length rocket and flame?

[@Vermiliontea]

I didn't note that they used 9 engines for entry burn. But they would do that to use less fuel (== increase performance). When you burn in the vertical axis, the shorter the burn, the less fuel wasted. During vertical burn, thrust for one g is always waste, so the longer you burn, the longer you're going to burn for that one g, and all that fuel is wasted. 3 engines is normal? I think? They would not use only one engine. That would be way too wasteful. But 9 engines would put a big g-load on the empty rocket, so I dunno. This is also why the high thrust of the Raptor engines is so important. The Starship need to get up to speed as fast as possible. This also why everyone else is using boosters, which effectively makes the rocket a three stage rocket. There's a whole discussion to have about that too, and why that is not so smart for reusable rockets, but leads to lowest cost for a throwaway, modular rocket, like Vulcan or Angara.

[@nixonperez]

It was a Single Engine entry burn, not 9 This burn profile started with AX-2 and since then Crew-7, AX-3, Crew-8 and now Crew-9 have used it too. Its a single engine entry burn and a 1-3-1 engine landing burn.
