Juno: New Origins | TerTech Space News Now

Hello and welcome to TerTech Space News Now! We have lots to talk about regarding SpaceX Starship, Branson vs Bezos, space launches, and ASRS updates.

First up is our SpaceX Starship segment! And it was big! SN20 was stacked and a GSE tank arrived! But SM20 was later removed, and rolled back. But the GSE tank was there to stay, And that was all that happened at Starbase! Now let’s go see Bezos and Branson’s rivalry.

And there is nothing new, unfortunately, so let’s see all the launches that happened!

And it was a rip-roaring rocket ride! We saw Chinese launches, Rocket Lab Electron’s return to flight, and an Ariane 5 launch! The Chinese launch was an Earth observation satellite launched into LEO. Up next was a Rocket Lab satellite launch on Electron which saw a USSF satellite launch to orbit. And last up was an Ariane 5 launched from Guiana carrying two communications satellites. Unfortunately, Starliner has unfortunately been indefinitely delayed. No new launch date has been confirmed. But there will be a Chinese launch though, this week! And also, Starborn Aerospace launched SM-1, with TerTech’s first astronaut onboard! And also, Ashtvinayak Aerospace has also launched Gagan CM-7, which smoothly segways us out to our fourth and final segment: updates on the Atmospheric Satellite Reconnaissance System (ASRS).

And we have big news! Ashtvinayak Aerospace has launched Gagan CM-7 carrying 16 satellites including 12 ASRS satellites and 4 Drexxvolv NewNebula technology demonstrator satellites. And Ashtvinayak will also launch Gagan CM-8 soon! This is an exciting week for TerTech and ASRS.

UPDATE: @AshtvinayakAerospace has already launched the Gagan CM-8 mission.

@TerTech the satellite belongs to you but the launch was booked by @ISX that's why I wrote like that

3.3 years ago

I do not know who manufactured them. The customer was marked as “TerTech/ISX”

3,195 ISX

Ehm... Manufacturer by who...

Woah, so many comments in one day?

@SRM quick upvote fun

@SRM Lol.

@SRM hmm.

@SRM Oh, btw, the reason Starliner was delayed was because of the station’s incident.

@PanzerAerospace I did it again. (Look down a few comments)

@SRM Just read it to get your answer.

@SRM Guess that’s a yes. Anyway, Nauka successfully docked. But that’s where it went wrong. After a few hours, Nauka fired its engines without getting confirmation to do it, putting the station in a spin. It quickly reached 0.56 degrees a second. This is extremely fast, even though it may seem slow. A spacecraft emergency was declared, allowing the US to have additional contact with the station’s astronauts. So why didn’t the US stop the engines? Well, Russia designed Nauka for only being able to receive commands from Russia, themselves. A bug in the system caused a false confirmation to fire the engines. Anyway, Russia couldn’t stop it due to it being 70 minutes before being able to pass over Russia. The astronauts didn’t notice any change in this event. Oh, by the way, the station has four gyroscopes, each spinning 6000 revolutions per minute. But, the thrust was able to counteract them. Mission control in Houston locked the solar panels, while the astronauts locked the radiators. Anyway, while Russia couldn’t get control of Nauka, it could get ahold of Zvezda. Using it’s RCS, the station could be slowed down a bit, but not enough. They decided to fire one of their docked spacecraft’s RCS to better counter it. 15 minutes later, the Nauka was out of fuel, and they stopped the station. They flipped it back over, since it was upside down. Total, it turned 720 degrees (including the flip to get the station in the right position). Mission control did some more work, and told the astronauts to take the day off. You can read a better, more detailed version here.

investigator dude from the ‘60s walks up
deep voice: Wanna know what happened with Starliner, and the ISS?
