Wow pretty cool, wonder how that impacts certification. I am guessing there are multiple categories that a rocket system needs to pass checks in order to pass, so maybe they have a contingency for such cases.

Yeah, if I were the USSF, I'm not sure I would be comfortable putting a billion-dollar spy satellite atop Vulcan just yet. I'd probably want a bit more investigation into the GEM 63XL SRBs before giving them the stamp of approval.

Back fell off

[-] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Is that supposed to happen?

[-] Idea@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 month ago

That's not very typical, no.

I mean, "the back fell off" is kind of the entire concept of rocket stages, so in a way, it is typical. They usually have to fall off in the correct sequence, at the correct time, and in one piece though.
