Chaotic Graviton vs iSpace
Who will be the first to actually reuse a reusable rocket?
iSpace, the leader in satellite launch service, released a video recapping its progress on Launch Complex 1. According to iSpace, building gamma space station and "reuse" Beta rocket are its currently primary goal.
(Chaotic Graviton's Falcon 9 rocket)
Yesterday, Chaotic Graviton team released its "True Reuse Falcon 9". And this amazing craft is designed to be truly reused and reflown.
(Vehicle assembly building of Pad A at LC-1)
The buildup of Launch Pad A at iSpace Launch Complex 1 for iSpace Beta reusable orbital booster is nearing completion. And Chaotic Graviton seemed to be ready to reuse its falcon 9 rocket booster. I expect that we'll see the first rocket to do it twice using the same hardware soon.
SRNews 001.
Relaunch 1 was completed yesterday as you saw, Team is currently working on our ACID System (basically an auto craft switch) and we're working through the stage separation issues.
We're also redesiging the transporter hardware as you may have seen. NET ~2 Days for ORFT-2
@ChaoticGraviton Sunday. Congratulations!
@GalaxyEye Galaxy News 002 when?
Potential topic to do it on :)
It's been done. Post coming later today.
Probably iSpace tbh
@Tweedle_Aerospace ok
im preping YT video of launch rn
@Chtite451SR2 I would like to watch a video just for interest not really that I need proof.
Rn it's on the pad on its crawler
Edit: but then again... it's not vizzy sooooo... mabye not lol
@Staticalliam7 lol yea, I didn't launch yet though, I will soon however, and carry those sats up
If anyone wants proof, tell me ;)
Oh yea, if I must, I'll release flower-1
@Chtite451SR2 won and did it last night with Flower-1
@Tweedle_Aerospace bro, whats you're point? I could've posted it half a year ago but i never got around to finishing the extra features i wanted to implement. The video is meant to show the fact that it works, and not be a trailer for the craft itself being posted.
@iSpace If you ever need help with a problem for reuse, you can dm me on Discord, or mention me in an unlisted post!
@NebulaSpaceAgency hoping to prove you wrong lol. NET for a reuse attempt is ~5days for Me and Chao
@iSpace about that launch requirement, any way I can contact you to book a launch that isn't a ride share?
@ChaoticGraviton Cool!
Team is ready to reuse first stage(Rideshare 7). We won't launch a second-hand rocket in April unless we receive a new launch requirement.
@ChaoticGraviton i just now got the notification for this and completely thought you were just randomly dming me
@NebulaSpaceAgency we're going to have a talk sir.
@Insanity not publicly
@Tweedle_Aerospace does that mean i didnt do it?
@Insanity uhhh...
I want to learn how to do that for flower-1 lol
@Insanity that hasn’t been posted yet
cough cough
personally i say iSpace, sorry Chaotic lol
@iSpace May? That's too much time. Might have custom droneship landings by then!
Almost everything is ready to go to refly the Falcon 9, just need to get some time on my hands to record the video. (might also touch up on the recovery hardware)
The Team and I are highly confident we can get TRF9 done in two weeks, well, atleast the first version
