I saw one of the dummy satellites bump into the edge of the door on the way out.
- crowbahr 1y agoThey were testing different catapult configurations. Seems clear that one is a no-go but others looked good.
- m4rtink 1y agoActually existing Starlink satellites regularly bu p into each other when lobbed in benches by the Falcon 9. They are built to tolerate that, resulting in much better launch volume and weight utilization (sats are stacked on top of each other & held in place by rods that are then released). The Starship Starlink release demo was quite tame in comparison to that. ;-)
