A satellite ready to go
From Europe embarked on a show
It's return was planned
For its descent was manned
It's quite unique, what we watch here below

Low-risk, high-consequence outcomes, such as a piece of a #rocket stage #crashing into a high-density city 🏙️ or a large passenger aircraft ✈️. In the latter case, even a small piece could cause hundreds of #casualties ☠️. #Internationally, there is no clear and widely agreed casualty #risk threshold. #Governments have apparently chosen to bear the slight #risk of having to #compensate for one or more casualties ☠️., rather than to require launch providers to make expensive technological or mission design changes. Assuming that each #reentry spreads #lethal ☠️.#debris over a 10m2 area, we conclude that current practices have on order a 10% chance of one or more casualties ☠️.over a decade. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-022-01718-8

#Falcon 9 performs a reentry burn 🔥 to protect itself against the heat 🌡️ and speed during entry, the #Booster for #Starship is designed not to need such a capability. It will endure the higher forces during reentry with its robust design rather than actively braking.
The #Starship 🚀 reentry has some similarities with the #SpaceShuttle, mainly in how it will endure the #heating 🌡️during the #reentry using termal protection tiles. The #landing with the so-called “belly flop” is much different. https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2023/03/starship-debut-reusability

That could be a first - a telescope (!) looking at the #OrionNebula recorded the fiery #reentry of #Starlink satellite going straight over it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJJUz5amEGE&t=677s (with https://twitter.com/Marco_Langbroek/status/1628430380205219840 confirming the ID).

Made this as a memorial for the original Iridium constellation, a fleet of satellites known for their trio of highly reflective phased-array antennae generating brilliant flashes of light at night as they reflect the Sun beyond the horizon. While they attracted much ire from astronomers due to their glare, I watched a few in person and I thought they were beautiful.
