SpaceX is now completely focused on getting Starship to orbit. In this video, I look at the new Starlink deployment system on Starship SN24. With SN24's launch anticipated after thorough testing, SpaceX's innovative approach promises a revolution in satellite deployment, and I can’t wait to see this thing in action!

Hey all - Ewan here! As the creator of this channel, I have never actually put my own voice to any of the 50+ videos I've uploaded. My narrator Beau does a great job, but I wanted to try making a different style of video on the recent Starship developments, so here it goes! Don't worry, I'll still have a normal video this month, this is just something extra 😉
Please don't stop using your own voice ;(
The narrator is too iconic Ngl I prefer the narrator I’m sorry, I hope no offense is taken 🥲
@@racistman928 he is bri'ish
I like this style!
Hi Ewan, and thanks for all the work you've put into these videos. I like their brevity.
Aye! Really nice to hear your voice, love it! :) (oh nice, didn't know you live in germany!)
Thanks! Been here for almost 2 years :)
@@primalspace how do you like Germany so far? I hope you feel well welcomed. Always curious what "non-native" think about Germany :)
There are many things I love, its just a beautiful place (here in Hamburg). The architecture is brilliant and there are so many green areas. The public transport is also amazing, so much better compared to the UK! In all honesty though the whole "Germany is so efficient" thing seems to be a lie haha. You still haven't really accepted cards instead of cash or emails instead of calling and sending letters. But overall it is a second home to me :)
@@primalspace so glad to hear! Yes, Hamburg is indeed really beautiful (and not peak efficient, compared to southern Germany ;) ). But yeah, burocracy and unwillingness to change is indeed a very German thing that Noone ever tells you about.
@@primalspace I live in Hamburg too. what I like the most are the people, waterways and also green areas
1:00 Aside from when Ariane 5's first launched destroyed two actual satellites because they didn't properly vet their flight computer for the new trajectory Ariane 5 used compared to Ariane 4. Arianespace is the same company that criticized SpaceX for not using the first launch of Falcon Heavy to launch a customer payload instead of their more exciting mass simulator.
3:20 Yes, Starlinks have gotten bigger. They'll have 10x the capacity, if I recall correctly. This may mean they need less sats overall instead of the proposed 40,000. Time will tell.
Still an unsustainable business model. It's not like poor people around the world countries could ever afford it.
@@oldmandoinghighkicksonlyin1368 they already make a profit
@@AnthemAnimation How would you know that? SpaceX doesn't release any official or audited financials and are not a publicly traded company.
@@oldmandoinghighkicksonlyin1368 FCC filings force companies to disclose the number of satellite communications antennas they distribute for obvious reasons. From this publicly available information we already know that Spacex has sold enough to cover the launch costs of their constellation so far. The only way one could argue that they haven’t sold enough would be to say that Spacex sells their launches at a loss which is hard to believe with reusable rockets
@@oldmandoinghighkicksonlyin1368 Ah, yes, investing billions into an "unsustainable" business model. What fools! If only they'd listened to some genius in the KZhead comments section. Let me know when your honorary certificate of knowing what an MBA is arrives in the mail, bucko.
Waitt, this is Primal Space right? ;)
Thanks for having an extra video on this!
"sn24 will be the first starship to orbit" boy did that age well.
Although Beau's narration is great, it's wonderful to hear your voice!!!
Nope the other voice is way better
Yeah
This was a great video. Thanks, Ewan. Looking forward to your next vid.
Would love a video specifically on the mechazilla chopsticks, about how they work and especially the pulley system and the rail system which carries it on the tower
Here you go, months ago someone with more knowledge on crane and associated equipment already did a video on the tower lift. He's also talked about the frankencrane kzhead.info/sun/jbKKqrybeJeHq40/bejne.html
@@Jaker788 thank you so much
what happend to the voice?
Thanks for good stuff.
Argh. Voice threw me off for a sec there. A welcome change though. 👌👌
that bit about astronauts hand-throwing satallites is something I've never heard of before, where did you find that/where can I read more? Thanks!
PEZ need to make a starship shaped model
I like the dispenser design much better and a logical size with minimal strength loss regarding the fuselage structural integrity. Perfect.
Maybe not "minimal" though, the slit could have been even smaller if they launched by the smaller side. It is probably a tradeoff to simplify the loading and unloading mechanisms.
I’m living in Germany too 🇩🇪
Nice!
Best Channel
3:08 I believe this value was referring to the V1 satellites. This number was thrown about before we heard about V2 publically I believe
Very well done, this format is fine. Awesome, thanks!
I do prefer the previous voice to this one
SpaceX didn’t reinvent the door goddamnit. They redesigned the door they intend to use primarily for Starlink missions.
I hope throwing them out doesn't make the ship start spinning.
They'll probably be thrown out a lot slower than in the animations. Also, the header tanks will be full of fuel, so the center of mass is slightly closer than if that were not the case. And there are RCS thrusters that keep the starship orientation in the desired direction anyway.
They have thruster to stabilize the ship and the sats will be ejecting slowly about 17, 000 miles per hour, lol.
@@myballsitchsomethingfierce6319 When you are sitting in a speeding train, do you also die violently when you touch the door? Just like the people who touch the speeding train while standing outside? Speed is relative. Get over it. Play KSP. Jump in a train. The starship will be carrying the satellites, both will go around 17,000 miles per hour. Then the starship will slowly eject them (1 mph?), so the starship will go 17,000 miles per hour and the satellites (if pushed into the direction of travel) will be going 17,000 + 1 miles per hour.
What I think is likely to happen is after they get return to launch pad to work, they will spool up the offshore platforms. Sea landings of Superheavy will greatly increase capacity and then Starlink launch capacity can go way up.
yep, also constrution and launching of starship from the cape will increase in the coming years.
4:48 The human kick stage.
I think the white box is for the starlink loader since it will not fit inside starship
Starlink would make a good steady source of income. It also makes for a good simulated payload that can be lost without too much worry.
Real voice reveal? If it is, Love it!
cool
Love
Beau and You are great !
1:37 It’s also mass-produced satelites, made by the thousands. So losing 50 or 150 isn’t the end of the world, whereas most other satelites are unique, or are made in such small numbers that they’re essentially handcrafted. That makes them expensive, hard to replace.
it might be the prison of the world if that happens
@@tomikun8057 You mean if Musk does a Kessler?
SpaceX Pez dispenser 🙂
The old titles is Starship Pez Dispenser
So this guy has a voice ? 😂
Who is the original narrator ?
Starlink is easily the most profitable space product ever. Profits exceed all commercial launch revenue for all commercial launch companies combined. They have plenty of money coming in to build the hundreds of starships Elon wants
Does anyone here have any idea what happened to space X pink or Star base pink?
I’m voting for pez dispensers out of the pez dispenser
Talk about spacepolution dumping 52 satellites or more out at a time
are you from northern ireland?
Scotland!
@@primalspace that was my second guess
Innovation always occurs in new tech startups. Its when the bill comes due that people realize they have to make money and IR&D is the first thing to get cut. Happens every time.
This is key. Musk has a unique talent for creatively funding development of future products. Starlink is intended to in part fund Starship's development. Model S helped fund R&D for Model 3, etc.
Nothing against your voice but the classic narrator has just an amazing voice, please keep using hid
They are bigger because they need all the Space Force stuff now.
Imagen going all the way to the ISS....only to throw a satelite into orbit by hand !
The Ambasat deployment at 4:25 is a little too reminiscent of a symbol i have seen in the past. Kind of unfortunate 🤣🤣
I just noticed that...
How many years? 80, a few hundred or a few thousand?
Narration is !!!!!!! But content is still the best
It is just one big cd player... This with a cd changer inside it.
D o o r You open it
As always, Elon Musk's companies are very innovative. Even disruptive. With doors of this size minimize sealing. Do you notice which side is the door? Yeah, that's right they thought that too. This mechanism has the opportunity to dispense at the right time and interval programming which gives flexibility. Very clever. The method of Falcon 9 is deployed at once. One problem that I see is the reaction to deployment because you have the Third Law of Mechanics. How do they solve this?
Since Ship 24 is only going sub-orbital, not only will it not achieve stable orbit, nothing that is ejected from the pez dispensor will achieve orbit either. meaning, Elon can put a bunch of mass simulating boiler-plate versions of Starlinks in the bay and they could burn up too, and there's no risk of having a bunch of dummy sats taking up parking space they arn't making use of. This way he can get this matter out of the way early.
I heard that this one will fully get into orbit
It's literally just barely orbital speed and not circularized, to get to orbit from there is a fraction of delta v. The reason it's on this self demising orbit is in case of failure, it'll drop where it was planned without a deorbit burn.
Primal Space? More like Primal SpaceX
Güzel
Ofcourse we need our drone network 2.0 set up uhm.. i mean starlink 2.0
SpaceWaste 2.0
Very small door. The astronauts will have to crawl inside.
The dispenser system actually points for Starship being overweight, not allowing the use of a payload hatch. More suited for commercial applications. That system would require more structural reinforcements, adding more weight. Not a surprise if Starship is only used for Starlink missions not farther than LEO.
I think it only shows that the hatch has more complexity and so less chance for success on the first flight, like the hot gas thrusters that were also cancelled for the first flight.
Musk has said that later iterations will be lighter
Yeah this is plausible since they still need several generations of prototypes to get to their target weight.
What when the starlink satellites come out of the door but then someone notices it’s made of something else and not actual satellites
Your voice is different but content is outstanding 😂👍👍👍
does the narrator have a youtube channel?
Wouldn't this cause Starship to tumble end over end? The dispenser slot is not right in the middle, and they are not ejecting on opposite sides simultaneously.
I think this could easily be counteracted by the RCS thrusters
This narration is much better. I didn't have to increase the playback speed.
要是有汉语字幕就好了
Starship, open cargo bay door!
Ha! "but with everything Musk related, expect some delay". I really don't mean to have a go, it's a fair sentiment based on his own words. At the same time it shows people have become a bit "spoiled" (ie, how many YT channels exist (& thrive) solely on the pace of ideas, progress, vitality, etc., over @ NASA)?
"We're in the business of turning impossible into late!" - Elon Musk Fair enough... ;-)
it really should be everything space related. Nothing is ever on time here/there.
What happened to his voice
I prefer the other voice
channel dead????
Hmmmm sealing the door could be a problem like shuttle blowing up big engineering is way needed. Hmmmm can Musk do it
I think they want to do 54 satellite instead of 100+ because it's there first mission and don't want to loose too much money if it fails. But don't want it to go to waste if its Successes.
This will utilize all the payload volume, the satellite design has just gotten that much bigger.
RIP... Primal Space

Could humanity make city in the mars crater with AI atmosphere traped with globe around the crater?🤔🤔🤔👆
We haven't even walked on Mars...
"Why SpaceX Reinvented The Door" clickbait, he just cut out a hole on a metal cube
Still a kind of sliding door.
@@ooooneeee he did not invent that also
Change the voice!!!!
What the actual F.....UNSUBED
Huh?
The other voice is much better. Who TF is this guy?
@@Thuisbezorgdd the other voice is so accent less compared to this. You know what? Forgot it, why would someone argue over a voice?
Great engineering but wasted on a bogus buisness idea
Wow, more renderings based on Musk fever dreams. Those never get old.
A fever dream that will be making regular flights sooner than later :)
Like the landing rockets I guess. Must be a sad life of yours.
@@aqeelraja4750 Hasn't made it to orbit, survived re-entry, booster hasn't flown yet, hasn't flown as a complete unit yet, haven't seen all engines even ignited on the ground yet, and the chopstick mechanism hasn't even come close to demonstrating it can catch the thing. Heat shield hasn't shown it can work, but several have fallen off just lighting the engines. No flame diverters. But sure, it's not a pipe dream. It just hasn't shown that it can work.
@@oldmandoinghighkicksonlyin1368 my point was that you’ve given it no time. It’s early days lol
@@aqeelraja4750 Didn't Musk say we were supposed to be on Mars by 2022? My point is he says a lot of crazy things. Well, lies, actually. It'd be neat to see that thing fly, but if it does, and if corporations take over space exploration, you won't like the result in 50 years. The last time corporations dealt with exploration and colonization, we ended up with the Dutch East India and Hudson's Bay company.
Not a surprise Starship ends up as a big flop. And SpaceX returns to developing the Red Dragon lander, and a bigger fairing to Falcon Heavy. As they should did first. Starship looks as had a rushed design phase.
Big fairing for FH was planned since that rocket had been chosen for Gateway launch, Starship progress has nothing in common with this. Also, I haven’t heard anything about Red Dragon returning, could you say about it in more detail?
@@andriinaum1411 the Red Dragon lander was SpaceX initial thought for a Crew mission to Mars. And in my opinion it would been the best. They would just need to develop the lander and a fuel module. While the voyage to Mars would be done with a modular Spaceship assembled at LEO. This Spaceship could be developed by other companies. Then landing on Mars with the Red Dragon, and possibly using it as Ascent module. It also could work as a cargo vessel for supply mission to Mars using the Falcon Heavy. And the Red Dragon could also be used for mission to the Moon. If the missions were successful, SpaceX could focus into Starship development next.
@@RogerM88 yeah I know about that program, but you mentioned that SpaceX returns to this plan and I don’t know about it
Bro You seems too judgemental, first let Starship get to orbit and time will tell and SpaceX knows what changes they need for future vehicle performances or modifications.
Critics thought the same about reusing rockets and landing rockets. Short of human error starship will launch and safely reenter Earth's atmosphere
Nice, more trash in OUR orbit.
Satellites, not trash
Nope it won’t happen. This system will fail.
wtf is wrong with the narrators accent?? an indian-irish guy?
Nein. That just sounds wrong
SpaceX, cluttering the sky with junk.
Satellites, not junk
why does you voice sound like this?? the previous voice was better
The voice is no good ! Old one was better
can we have the old person back he speaks rly annoyingly
No, I very much prefer the old voice. I almost unsubbed
