Voyager 2: Nasa loses contact with probe after sending wrong command

Last month, the spacecraft - exploring the universe since 1977 - tilted its antenna to point two degrees away from Earth after the mistake was made. As a result, the probe has stopped receiving commands or sending data.



This why most space crafts crash when they set measurements in Standard but transmit it as metric.

Voyager 2: Nasa loses contact with probe after sending wrong command

Last month, the spacecraft - exploring the universe since 1977 - tilted its antenna to point two degrees away from Earth after the mistake was made.

As a result, the probe has stopped receiving commands or sending data.

However, a carrier signal from the spacecraft was picked up on Tuesday during Nasa's regular scan of the sky.

The space agency said the signal, which it likened to the probe's "heartbeat", confirmed Voyager 2 was still broadcasting, as engineers had expected.

Nasa said it hopes communication will resume when the probe is due to reset in October.

Not a NASA launch, and it's not a NASA site.  Elon said a while back he didn't believe a flame trench (pit) would be necessary,

SpaceX is currently building out launch facilities for the Super Heavy Starship at KSC pad 39A.  It will have the water deluge system today's launch at Boca Chica was missing.
https://spaceflightnow.com/202...

When the launch mount at Boca Chica is repaired and returned to service, it too should have a water deluge system.

For comparison, before today's launch of B7/S24, the most powerful rocket to lift off (it also exploded!) was the Soviet N1 (circa 1969-72).  The N1 had a multiple flame trench design.




I wonder if this idea of having so many rocket engines coupled together is such a wise idea.  Maybe Saturn's approach of five or so bigger engines is the way to go.

Didn't the old NASA launches always toss a couple of Olympic swimming pools of water into the pit upon launch or something?  Why did they stop doing that?

Yeah, that van that got smoked in the rear was Spaceflight Now's setup.   There's a lot of other cams that were authorized to be very close.  Not all cams survived.  Seems those closer to the ground had the best survival rates.  I'm sure SpaceX had them all sign a damages waiver .  :-)

Conjecture right now is that the Raptors in B7 were of an older design, not the latest iteration, so possibly more prone to failure.  Also good conjecture — the rubble blast from underneath the launch mount is thought to have been responsible for damage to most if not all the Raptors that failed at launch or during flight.
