It survived Max Q on the first launch with older (and different iterations) versions of the engine, what else is needed to make the demo of a first try a success?
- sbierwagen 4y agoBecause of the engine failures, thrust wasn't as high as it would be in a nominal flight, so max aerodynamic pressure was lower. It didn't hit the max Q it would experience in a regular launch.
- sebazzz 4y agoThis was still raptor 1?
- xiphias2 4y agoNot sure, the board member in all in podcast was saying that there were 1000 small changes over time, so it's not just simply raptor 1 and 2.
