Well, there were two options back then. As I recall, the original plan for crewed LEM testing was to launch the LEM and the CSM to LEO on separate Saturn I's then perform rendezvous and proceed with the testing. I believe the thinking at the time was Saturn V's wouldn't be ready in time. As...

If I understand this correctly, Artemis III would be much like Apollo 9, where there was a full test of the docking, crew transfer, operation, and redocking of the LEM / CSM in LEO. There was no need to fly to the Moon to do this, nor is there a need to do it with Orion and Starship. Breaking...

Instead of scrolling the speed back up, I disengaged FSD and when it asked "What happened?" I made several reports that it shouldn't be dropping down to the indicated minimum speed limit. When I arrived home and the car connected to WiFi it uploaded almost 11 GB... I'm guessing that was mostly...

Yep, I noticed the same thing on my way home from the eclipse last week. Once I crossed the GA state line on I-75 southbound, it felt like SFSD found every Minimum Speed 40 MPH sign and reacted to them. It was highly annoying. After encountering a few and scrolling the speed back up, I...

I don't recall any issues heading north to Ohio for the eclipse, but that might be because the nav routed me off I-75 N in Dalton, GA on to state highways up to Cleveland, TN to rejoin I-75. But heading back home not long after crossing the GA state line on I-75 S there was a string of Min...

I haven't seen mine do that, but it doesn't appear to be a valid fault code according to the manual. I would cycle the circuit breaker off for a couple minutes then back on to see if a reboot clears it.

I've been keeping an eye on Pivotal Weather's Eclipse 2024 page and the NWS Weather Prediction Center's Twitter/X account. https://www.pivotalweather.com/eclipse2024/?m=nbm&p=cloudcover_labeled&r=conus https://twitter.com/NWSWPC/

They did. Canadarm2 has Latching End Effectors on both ends. There are multiple power and data grapple fixtures on the U.S. segment it can "inchworm" between, including the mobile base system that runs along the truss the solar arrays are mounted on. They also built Dextre, which Canadarm2...

I believe they did hint at the answer. The lander is setup to switch antennas and/or radios in the event of a lost or poor comm link to try to establish a good link. With it on it's side, it's doing that continually now. So they likely only have brief windows to talk to it before it switches...

Perhaps I should have given mine a little more time (although the tech did say my board was internally faulting). If it happens again I might try your approach of buying a replacement board as a spare then waiting longer to see if it recovers before I swap it.

I'm getting it as well.

My 2021 is still under warranty and the estimate I got was listed as 0.00 "Pay Type: Basic Vehicle Limited Warranty" and that's what I ended up paying. I don't see where it's a scam. If it fails under warranty they pay, if fails outside of warranty you pay.

Service Center had my car for 4 days and I got it back today. The tech confirmed the lack of LTE, "Found that the LTE connectivity board was internally faulting" and replaced it under warranty. So it's back to normal.

Similar to my experience and I tried the same steps with the same results. Although mine was working after the update to 44.30.5.1, that I received on 12/22. Two weeks later on 1/5 was when I noticed the LTE was down. In service mode mine shows the modem with Roaming "Allowed" and Valid IMEI...

My 2021 LR's LTE connectivity board appears to have died about a week and half ago. After several scroll wheel reboots, a full power off reboot, and the update to 2023.44.30.8, there is no change. Service mode also shows the cell connection as bad. I have service scheduled next week...

I think you might be referring to Alaska 261, an MD-83, back in 2000. In that case it wasn't Chinese bolts, it was improper maintenance by Alaska on the horizontal stabilizer trim system jackscrew. Little to do with the current 737 MAX issues. To me, it seems that Boeing's slide downhill might...

Here's the ULA stream link... wonder if they'll toss in a Kármán line reference?

In addition to the various web pages already mentioned, I also subscribe to the "Worldwide Space Launches" calendar and all scheduled launches appear in my google calendar. https://calendar.google.com/calendar/[email protected]&pli=1

I've been on 2023.27.7 since October 20th. My car downloaded 2023.44.30.2 just after 8 p.m. tonight.

I agree that they talk too much but, they do have some good moments. I also think that SpaceX has the same problem of talking too much. I'm used to the classic NASA-TV coverage where it was mostly for the working space press and they didn't have the need to fill every second with endless...

I see the same thing here. I'm quite sure the DC-DC converter isn't actually acting that weird. As I recall it started after a Tesla software update (but I don't remember which version) to the car a few months ago and the DC-DC CANbus values SMT is looking for must have changed. So the app is...

It was ULA's Rob Gagnon. I've never heard him make that call before. It had to be something Amazon asked to have added.

Strange... My 21 3LR (Intel Atom) doesn't have any issues with the few high res flac files I put on the SSD, 96k, 192k or any other sample rates. I would be curious to know what the issue turns out to be.

Absolutely not required. What little does survive entry is the reason for targeting Point Nemo in the uninhabited South Pacific.

Perhaps it's a staged rollout on the play store. I got the 4.25.0-1953 update from the play store a couple days ago.

Had to change my vote. I found some significant corrosion on the negative terminal last week and mobile service replaced my 12V battery today (and cleaned up the connector) under warranty in my May 2021 built 3. The photo is after I scraped some it off.

NTSC had a 60 Hz field rate (30 Hz frames) in the monochrome days. When RCA's monochrome compatible color system was selected, that required the change to the 59.94 interlaced field rate. It's common to have to change the CCD shutter rate (not the actual frame rate) of video cameras when a...

I thought that X logo looked familiar!

What revision is your WC? I recall reading that -F revision gen 3 units had an issue with some internal relays.

Yep, my car supports 2.4 and 5 GHz. It's been a while since I tried it, but my car does not appear to support WPA3 encryption, at home or my android phone's hotspot. I have to use WPA2-Personal. I am not familiar with iOS, but that might be something to check.

Perhaps something on this page will help. https://www.starlinkhardware.com/how-to-access-the-starlink-router-settings/

If I recall correctly, my charge port LED turns solid blue as does my Gen 3 WC if the charge limit is set below the current SOC of my car. This is without any scheduled charging set. Ex: Charge Limit is 50% and the car is at 51%. The link is good but there is nothing to do.

Now I'll correct myself. Although it did fly on a Saturn V first and second stage, Skylab was a 200 Series S-IVB that was intended to fly on a Saturn IB. The Backup Skylab B is a 500 series that was built for a Saturn V stack. It's the one on display at the National Air and Space Museum.

Skylab was a actually a Saturn V S-IVB third stage. ;)

Since the microgravity portion of the flight only lasts about 4-5 minutes, it's about $100,000 minute for that part of the experience.

This one? https://hankookrebates.com/Rebate/?rebate_campaign_seq=UiQfH0Q1wjY%3d

ULA's Vulcan Cert-1 Flight Readiness Firing (FRF) live stream is scheduled to start at 6:45pm ET. NSF stream is already up.

I saw that message my first time last week. I was on an interstate at night, approaching a bridge as patrol car with it's blue lights on (not flashing) was crossing over the interstate.

Interested, PM sent.

u-blox mentioned that Tesla was using their NEO-M8L here on twitter back in 2019.

I believe that's the frustum from one of the SRBs (likely the one that this camera is from) still attached to the drogue shoots. You can read more about the process here under "Descent and recovery".

There was no reignition, that's just bits and pieces of the remaining solid propellant burning and smoldering. No real usable thrust or propellant at the point they separated from the rest of the shuttle stack.

Drifting off topic, but the SRB onboard video was equally good. Quite a dynamic ride and impact on the ocean surface.

I'm guessing that's just part of the RF testing, as the other photos show testing both above and below it's intended frequency range. "The EUT is a non-pulsed Automotive Radar which operates in the 76-77 GHz spectrum and supports 3 sensing modes"...

Both are rated test pilots that took a completely new human rated spacecraft on a test flight. I'd say so. As the Astronauts Astronaut, John Young put it before flying STS-1... "Anyone who sits on top of the largest hydrogen-oxygen fueled system in the world; knowing they’re going to light the...

As mentioned earlier, the WC only supports 2.4 GHz WiFi channels. Although I haven't checked on the latest firmware, last time I tried, mine did not appear to support WPA3 or WPA2/WPA3 mixed, it only accepted WPA2. It also did not appear to support a 64 character hexadecimal pre-shared key...

The Canadarm 2 picked up Dextre to use for the inspection. Dextre has five cameras, including one inside each hand.

That's after it was encapsulated inside the fairing. Here's one that shows SWOT just before it was encapsulated.

Looks like Tesla requested the FCC to hold off the release until February 7. "However, this device will not be marketed until Mid-January 2023. To avoid any unnecessary disclosure and competitive harm before our product launching, we would like to request above exhibits to be held for another...

No need to launch to see what the impact could be. For example Apollo 12 and Atlas Centaur AC-67 are the lessons in triggered lightning. While 12 did make it to the moon, AC-67 failed at 48 seconds after launch with the loss of launch vehicle and payload.
