[QUOTE="A Man Called Charolais, post: 63156"] The show will begin at 7:30 a.m. EST ([B]1230 GMT[/B]), the time SpaceX plans to start its launch webcast. About 10 minutes later, Starship's 39 Raptor engines — 33 on the Super Heavy first stage and six on the upper-stage spacecraft, known as Starship — will begin to chill ahead of ignition, according to [URL='https://www.spacex.com/launches/mission/?missionId=starship-flight-2']SpaceX's mission description[/URL]. Ten seconds before launch, SpaceX will activate the [URL='https://www.space.com/spacex-starship-water-deluge-system-first-test-video']water deluge system[/URL] beneath Starbase's orbital launch mount. ... If all goes according to plan, Starship's two stages will separate two minutes and 41 seconds after liftoff. This will be accomplished via "hot staging," in which the upper stage engines begin firing shortly before separation. ... Super Heavy will perform several engine burns over the next few minutes, steering itself toward a splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico around seven minutes after liftoff. The Starship upper stage, meanwhile, will continue powering its way upward and eastward, reaching a top speed close to orbital velocity (which is around 17,000 mph, or 27,400 kph). But the vehicle won't complete a circuit of Earth; roughly 90 minutes after liftoff, it will come down in the Pacific near Hawaii for "an exciting landing," SpaceX's mission description states. [URL='https://www.space.com/spacex-second-starship-launch-explainer']SpaceX's 2nd Starship launch on Nov. 18: How it will work - Space.com[/URL] Second test flight launch window to open from 1 pm on Saturday. Should be a good show. [/QUOTE]
