Author Topic: NSF SpaceX Starlink L6 B1051.4 "There's a Pad Out Here Somewhere" Landing Bingo (Read 50934 times)

Helodriver · « **on:** 04/22/2020 05:59 am »

NSF SpaceX ASDS Landing Bingo returns because its not the game we want, its the game we need now.

After many repeated routine landings the dispersal patterns have gotten wider, the crush cores have been squished, and finally a returning core missed the droneship entirely and went for a swim. Most recently a booster had a Merlin fail on the way up and we're still not exactly what happened on the way down but suffice to say, it didn't land. What had been near perfect bullseye droneship landings barely worth attention are events of interest once more, now with consecutive droneship landing failures. Can the booster figure out how to defy the winds and find the deck again? Will B1051.4s 4th landing attempt bring success back to OCISLY or will it be adding to the Atlantic artificial reef program?

So once again the game is afoot! No shotgun start, the game is immediately open! For a Fast and furious scramble for tomorrow's scheduled launch!

The game remains as played in prior iterations. If its not broke don't fix it.

- JCSAT-14 ( http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=40219.0 )

Pick your square, one per player. Closest square to the center engine when it comes to a halt gets the prize!

This includes post landing walkabouts, or Octograbber nudges!

No prize for fireballs, debris, or damage on deck!

If it hits the ship, goes kaboom, punctures holes in the deck, falls over in transit, there is no winner. Only a booster standing tall and triumphant as the ASDS sails into the harbor will generate a win!

Water squares are meaningless, except for "I told you so" bragging rights. If it falls in the sea, no winners.

This thread remains the official record of who chose what square when. For that reason any edited pick post is invalid.

Use Dan's scraper to see which spots have gone:

NOTE: There may sometimes be a slight delay of a few minutes at most between scraper updates, so check the last few posts before yours too, just to be sure. Scraper is operational as of this edit. Thanks to DanielW for setting the scraper up, it helps a lot!

Judging is by me, Helodriver using imagery of OCISLY sailing back into the harbor to help determine a winner. Rocketcams, helicopter or drone shots, and landing coverage will also be used, but where it sits at the time of unloading will be final.

Winner gets a one year EL TWO membership for free! If a current EL TWO member, you can donate it to another member or add it to your own term length.

The winner will also get a unique SpaceX artifact suitable for display or resale on Ebay to Bill Carton! (the Roadie here on NSF)

Good luck SpaceX, Good luck Starlink L6 and Good luck to NSF readers! Streaks are made to be broken!

The scraper is doing a great job! No need to kill it!

Barring a tragic maritime accident on the way home looks like we will have a winner and OCISLY's recent bad luck will be over!

So I guess it's too late to guess X-93

CrazyHorse80 · « **Reply #117 on:** 04/28/2020 09:46 am »

So, do we know where the F9 landed? I still don't know if it is near one side or the opposite...

Helodriver · « **Reply #118 on:** 04/29/2020 05:02 pm »

So, after a few days of waiting for any high angle or aerial shots to come in of B1051.4's return from the Starlink L6 mission which make Landing Bingo easy to judge, those were not to be.

This lack of elevated perspective, coupled with no released downward looking views from the on board rocketcam to align with the deck markings, meant triangulation with known ASDS features was going to be the method required to determine booster landing position.

Fortunately enough talented photographers were there to greet the returning fleet, including some of NSF's own, to capture a direct keel line view from the front of OCILSLY to gauge X axis, a shot lining up the antenna masts on opposite corners of the droneship for a diagonal cross deck line; and a direct side on shot with the ship's center mass mark for Y axis.

A video capture showing the booster immediately after landing aboard, showed one leg touching the inner yellow circle and provided rotation relative to the camera by comparing the angles of the telescoping leg struts in relation to each other.

Combining these disparate cues allowed determination of positional and rotational orientation of B1051.4 to a high degree of accuracy. So without further ado, J-22 is the winning spot chosen by TorenAltair !

J22, please

So Congratulations to the winner TorenAltair who will receive a unique SpaceX artifact prize and L2 Membership! Please PM me to pass contact details!

With this successful landing, the ASDS failure streak is broken and the "bingo curse" seems lifted!

ASDS Landing Bingo Will Return!
