Author Topic: NSF SpaceX Starlink v1.0 L8 B1059.3 "Super 8 " Landing Bingo (Read 32613 times)

Helodriver · « **on:** 06/12/2020 04:04 pm »

The SpaceX launch machine is in full swing, with a two week cadence, two droneships and two Cape pads in constant operation. Starlink v1.0 satellites are already up to their 8th launch which we celebrate with Super 8 Landing Bingo!

In the local predawn hour, B1059.3 will roar into its third flight, and then about 9 minutes later check into its cozy offshore motel for a few days stay. Will it land on the deck of OCISLY dead center or go exploring the outer reaches of the landing circles like the last two landings did? We shall find out soon!

So, once again the game is afoot! No shotgun start, the game is immediately open!

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

- CRS-8 ( http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=39977.0 )
- 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:

http://asds.dansdoorway.com

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 analysis 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 L8! Good Hunting JRTI and good luck to NSF readers too!

Seeing as how OCISLY, JRTI, and the Octagrabbers have the ability (and perhaps the intent) to influence the outcome, I suggest that they be deemed ineligible to receive the prizes.

I do not endorse this photo as it was definitely taken with a drone - which is banned at Port Canaveral - but it should help with the bingo results.

Edit: The drone might technically be over the beach with the camera zoomed in but no way to be sure.

pb2000 · « **Reply #140 on:** 06/16/2020 05:52 pm »

Looks like I'm in the running, but it's still tough to tell because a lot of the paint markings seem to have been cooked off by the parade of boosters finding the deck.

I've tried a few different triangulation methods, but can't get much more precise than somewhere in this circle. Helodriver, have you had anymore luck?

the_other_Doug · « **Reply #144 on:** 06/25/2020 02:51 am »

It's been a week... anyone feel like declaring a winner?

Nevyn72 · « **Reply #145 on:** 06/25/2020 04:01 am »

Is there going to be one for L9?

CJ · « **Reply #146 on:** 06/25/2020 06:39 am »

I'm speculating that there haven't yet been enough photos (from the needed angles for triangulation) to allow the F9's location to be determined with sufficient accuracy. Also complicating the task greatly (I'm guessing) is the dearth of paint on the ASDS deck.

Speaking as someone who is (I think, maybe) in the running, IMHO if the needed photos don't show up for this landing, Helodriver's task becomes impossible, so we can't expect a winner on this round unless the needed photos find their way to Helodriver. If that's the case (that no winner can be determined), my suggestion would be to roll the prizes over into a new future bingo.

I'd again like to thank Helodriver, NSF, and all involved in the landing bingos, because this was a fun round, no matter how it ends.

After a bit of delay caused by a wait for the right images to turn up and other factors, the winner of Starlink "Super 8" Bingo has been determined!

Sometimes judging is super easy, one of the dedicated corps of local space photographers charters a helicopter and flies right out over the ASDS and with one image precisely fixes the location on deck.

Sometimes SpaceX televises the landing via the onboard rocketcam and the deck is imaged looking downward from the interstage lining up deck markings, grid fins, and leg tips.

Sometimes as the droneship sails into the harbor, videographers on the piers and seawalls capture a level image from a fixed spot as the vessel glides past, catching the centermark just above the waterline and the antenna towers on the opposite corners lining up to make triangulation lines with the standing rocket body.

Sometimes none of that happens at all, but an oblique somewhat illegal drone shot briefly appears on twitter from someone who does not know or care about the rules for flying around Port Canaveral and you gotta go with that, even if its a weird angle and kind of far away.

Even such an image contains all the information needed for determining position and orientation, even when the deck markings haven't been repainted for quite a while, you just have to use other references, in this case the known positions of the deck perimeter safety guardrail posts, which are fixed and don't change from mission to mission.

A virtual grid was drawn across the deck by lining up every other pair of opposing posts, and voila, rotation and X axis was revealed. Y axis was determined from the blast wall camera as shown during the webcast.

So without further ado the square B1059.3 checked into for its offshore stay was L-24 chosen by unitx

I can't believe it. That's amazing, especially as it's only my second time playing this. Thank you to Helodriver and all at NSF for adding an extra layer of excitement to the booster landing process. I especially look forward to digging into the rich L2 content that I've only dreamed about until now.
