At the end of 2020, astronomers discovered an old rocket booster from the 1960’s making its surprise return to Earth. In this video I will be looking at the mysterious return of NASA's centaur rocket and how scientists use spectroscopy to identify objects like this one.

  • If exposure to space alters spectroscopic properties of the materials we use, it would be interesting to track the changes in these properties in something that goes up and returns many times, such as a falcon 9 booster. Their limited exposure to low pressure microgravity environments should be able to provide many data points on this.

The F9 boosters don't really get that affected by solar radiation but if you look up pictures of the Skylab station and its CSM you can see how much solar energy affects the materials.

I say seemingly because solar radiation will eventually degrade them, but it would take so long that the change would be insignificant for one human lifetime. On the other hand, chuck a dildo in space at high enough velocity to escape our system and it'll eventually reach another planet with sentient life, if there are any. Imagine them studying this ancient object of unknown origin and purpose.

    • It would take a fully upgraded (Block 2) SLS to get that stage back to Earth orbit, and due to the size of the thing probably another SLS launch to bring it safely back to the ground in one piece. Meanwhile you could send some humans to the Moon or Mars (including at least the start to a moon or mars base) with those two SLS launches. Point being, nobody's going to go spend the money to go out and get discarded rocket stages outside Earth orbit. It's just economically unfeasible with current propulsion technology. Our current record is that it takes SEVERAL entire Saturn V rockets to go get maybe 50-100 kilograms of Moon rocks. Technology has improved some, but not by the orders of magnitude it would take to go get a spent rocket stage back from deep space. Even less likely to go get the Tesla roadster, as its orbit is more different from Earth's than this Centaur rocket stage. Did I mention that this Centaur rocket stage has as much mass as TWO mid-size cars (2,462 kilograms or roughly 2.5 metric tons)? And that's with NO fuel in it. You gotta cart ALL that mass ALL the way back to Earth, and then once it's there the best option I can think of to get it on the ground would be the Space Shuttle, but that's not flying anymore so we'd have to come up with a different solution.

    • @@jameslangridge1674 If not monitored you risk the loss of a spacecraft because there was a piece of debree in the way. Which creates a cloud of debree further increasing the chances of hitting something. Which causes more collisions. Worst case scenario is that the chain reaction creates a cloud of debris that prevents spaceflight for years, maybe even decades. This is known as Kesslers syndrome. Luckily only one major collision has occured. In 2009 Kosmos-2251 and Iridium-33 collided at a nearly 90 degree angle creating two debris clouds and by 2011 around 2000 fragments of 10cm or larger were catalogued.
