- SpaceX provides some of the most spectacular sights in spaceflight with the landing of their Falcon 9 booster. But why does the video feed always seem to cut out right as the booster is coming in to land on the droneship?

anyone here after falcon 9's launch and camera cut ?
me! millions spent but can't spend on more cameras
Yeah, Im waiting for spacex to release footage
Yea man its so annoying. Waited a damn year for that
@@manuelbf510 Congrats on completely missing the point. Did you watch this video?
#1 If they know it's not going to work why bother streaming it live #2 ships have wifi and have signal strength on any part of the ocean , why not connect a phone to the wifi and live stream 😂
They cut the camera so that the ompalompas can place the ship down
Iol!!!!
Best comment I've seen tonight!! 😂😂
@eemc2cu but you can see the actual engine of the booster coming in to the picture? I've always tried to respect other people's beliefs but do you by any chance also believe in Nazi's on the moon? 🤔😂
EDIT: and please educate yourself by looking up "gravity turn" that'll explain the 'inexplicable' curve 😉
@eemc2cu hahaha lol you're a funny guy. Well I think you've never been in a plane bc you think those are fake too, but from a plane you can actually see circular rainbows, even while looking towards the ground. The rainbow curves bc you're at 42 degrees of the sunlight refracting (and reflecting) in raindrops (and clouds etc). Furthermore, when using a pressure washer at home, you can also see circular rainbows if you look at the right angle, even though there only a foot in diameter at most. Both of the cases above instantly debunk the involvement of any hypothetical dome in the curving of rainbows. I'm all for asking weird questions, that's what advances science, but please don't ask any weird questions that have been answered and proven many many years ago. Good luck educating yourself man!
I fkn knew it
The solution is actually super simple. Put some merlin engines on the satellite and make it vibrate at the exact same rate. Solved.
Yeah that's it. We are going to Mars, but we can't go to the Moon, because we destroyed all the technology.
Oh we can take pictures of Mars but can't get a video feed of the back of a barge.
Maybe it's the spinning globe or something.

This recommendation was the best thing the algorithm has done for me yet.
The Algorithm just ended this man’s whole career (Elon Musk’s)
I can relate
Short answer for this video: because it is so fake as Musk said, as long as the Earth is Flat and Enclosed, thus there is no such thing as "Space".
Andrey DKS you’re far off man
Romans 10:9-11 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.”
Two years later and SpaceX's droneships still lose signal when the boosters land. Great video, especially because it got recommended at the perfect time, though it definitely seems like not everyone in the comments has watched it. To all those that ignored the video or are annoyed that SpaceX isn't doing anything to fix this problem: the livestream, your entertainment, is not the biggest priority in a mission where they're proving to NASA that their privately-built rockets and capsules are here to stay.
obviously they want to keep it secret from other super power countries. its like giving away the kfc recipe. you dont
$55m per trip but can’t afford a ship to get it right? 🧐

When you can send rockets to space and have them land at the same time in perfect unison. But can’t figure out how to get FaceTime to work.
@Guns N Glory great ide
FaceTime and creating rockets aren't on the same level those are two different things
I bet your face time will be fuck if a rocket try to land beside you also lol...
It's not that they don't have a solution... it's just it's not worth the cost. Why bother... when you can save thousands of dollars.
The same can be said about rescue missions on Everest. We can send man to the moon, but can't get someone off' Everest🤔

And they just landed all three perfectly. Woo
I watched that just off the cuff, didn't realise I was about to watch something so historic.
Luke Parsons that’s what I was thinking
Allegedly...
It cut out again today hmm?
@@nardussnyman2190 ya they didnt have enough money for cgi for the landing part
Several second time delay would solve it, like a memory buffer. It wouldn’t be the real time transmission but for the viewers it will not make a bit difference
thought the same man
even a minute wouldnt make that much of a difference
The issue with that is if you have the delay be applied automatically from the drone ship, you just move the delay to a different part of the video, if you do it manually from anywhere else the lag will still be there. You would need to delay a whole lot more than just the drone ship video feed. Not really worth it. Also engineers wouldn't get to see exactly if the landing was successful until after the delay is finished.
@@dolphay4357 First I prefer seeing "live" the landing itself, and second, If you upload 20s of pre recorded footage (from 1 minute before) right before the connexion is expected to be lost, it would make the transition seemless
indeed, since the rocket itself is fully AI controlled, nobody benefits from an ultrafast live feed
they know by now how many seconds of disturbance they usually get, so they can just delay the broadcast for that amount and have the broadcast catch up with the live feed for a while
Thank you for getting right to the point. That's rare in these times
And if you believe that explanation. Then you'll believe that I sell ice cubes to penguins.
Welp, welcome everyone who just saw it happening again from the human launch

@@carlwest so, you are saying, in order to fake the landing, CGI is used? Do you know how much work needs to be done?? You needed to create an EXACT replica of the drone ship, and the EXACT same lighting conditions with fog and any other things, and then you need to get the material of everything EXACTLY perfect, not to mention the amount of editing you have to do, and anyways this IS a live feed, ad you can clearly see that the feed is synced up with the rocket (you can see it during launch).

Good Explanation Clears my Doubts - Thanks 👍
Seeing those boosters return and land at the cape will never get old. It's just some straight Buck Rogers stuff.
Seeing one land (five years ago) gave me goosebumps. Seeing two land in synchrony in the same video shot gave me palpitations and I cried.
I would do anything to see that in person. And yes, that includes wearing Princess Ardala's obedience marriage collar.

Flat earther spotted?
kimsmithih really? Well aren’t you simple
@Mariasol Nevada you can thank technology that this is real, but if you think this is fake, you should think the same thing about electronics because we don't know how they work, just that they do and that they exist and function LIKE the Falcon 9 🤣🤣🤣
It can't be that hard to figure out, it's not rocket scie.....
Nice one

This was a recommended video. I saw the live launch last week and was very disappointed not to see the booster land. Now I know the reason, so thanks for posting.

You are quite the problem solver my friend. Elon's got nothin on you.
Thats hyperthink my friend, front of the class !
If a rocket lands at sea. And no ones around to see it. Does it land?
MJW it should be if I poop my pants and I don't feel it, have a I really poop my pants
no because it is still on it's way to land. maybe we can call it "caught on a ship" or it is still on transhipment.
NO, IT FKN SINKS.
No, it doesn't land. I T S E A S.
Niiiice one! ❤🙏❤
Thank you guys!!!!! You answered to my question!!!!
they could broadcast from the platform, to a small drone (outside the jet wash), up to the sat
It would need a very large drone for the antenna
When I saw the camera cut out during the dragon landing I out laughed out loud knowing conspiracy theorists would have a field day with this one
There are no theorists when they can provide truth. They do cuts because they need time to release some of the oxygen out of the dirigible for stability. And here's what then happens: th-cam.com/video/bvim4rsNHkQ/w-d-xo.html

Sal what you doing here😂😂
@BC Bob I bet you also don't see the excitement of people going to school which has been happening for hundreds of years....
Bruh stfu i see way to many of these comments
@BC Bob he meant that it is the first spaceX launch with humans with it
Commercial flight is now possible this is great!
The evening one the other night was kick ass, as you could see the blue ocean reflection and the platform light up. Evening entries are terrific for the reason. Peace.
They could also develop a "vibration-reduction/canceling" for the directional antenna to keep the signal stead
My proposed solution: Just make a software change so that if the feed goes out, when it comes back, it ends up getting replayed with an "instant replay" label or something. At least then we get to see it! (even if slightly non-live)
The current situation is so much worse: you potentially end up waiting hours until someone finds and links to the later-uploaded video with the 5-seconds of missed footage.
Wow, so simple, this needs more likes.
Definitely a good idea - if it transmits a buffer.
I'm not sure if it transmits a buffer, to me it sounds more logical that it just transmits a live signal (to save bandwidth). The actual footage is in that case pulled off the droneship itself physically or transmitted at a later moment when there's no live broadcast anymore.
Maybe they could use a spring to dampen high frequency vibrations and a series of actuators to keep the lock, though that would probably be a bit expensive to develop.
@@DvDick I think they already do, but those merlin engines at 5 meters are just a bit thrusty :)
Most of the time, if not all the time, this video is transmitted via UDP rather than TCP. So that means you can lose packets. To make it TCP would require a receive antenna onboard which again increases cost for 2 seconds. If you are a computer performing calculations you want real time data not buffered data (TCP). If you lose data you can handle that more gracefully. But knowing whether it is buffered or not is a whole bigger problem.
Man I was thinking way too complex. Like static build or radiation. Nah. Just doing the truffle shuffle
Cuz it's FAKE AF that's why
so they can't mount a stable antenna on a second ship
and pigtail the signal because why ? the cable would be too long . . . ??
I must be using too much rocket science on that as well...
I too figgered the rocket juice was interrupting the signal,
not the mechanical vibrations overcoming the limitation
of the digitalized signal broadcast.#harmonics
I was thinking the body of the rocket reflected the signal or something like that.
@Sanuk Jang Lery yea they mentioned that sorta, the problem once again is that the cost/benefit ratio isn't all the great. They would have to add a whole new vessel for what's like 3 seconds. That can be a lot of money for that little time
@Watchdog it's just a big thruster, no reason for radiation.

Cool.
These few seconds of live video are priceless. Its like cutting out a goal in a sports game.
But People who doubt that it's real, will never change their mind because of the live video.
Enthusiasts will not get less enthusiastic about spaceflight.
So my conclusion is, it's just not worth the extra hassle to have it live.
mittamoa this is the right answer. There’s essentially no reason for SpaceX to spend the money to figure out something that is, for them, a non-problem.
People who think its not real are not even worth the trouble, they do what they to for science, not to change a fool's mind
That is not it. That's like cutting out the player who passed the ball to the person who was going to score the goal later going back to his original position. It's simply not necessary.
But we need that footage. If you don't- it's only your personal.
@@GrrrRu you dont NEED the footage, we only have the privilege to see it, bet we dont need to, you want to, thats different
They can land a rocket on a ship but they cannot send live feed of the most iconic moment 🤦
Maybe it's just not worth their time / resources to tackle this issue that is entirely irrelevant to the success of their mission?

PantoMath ya Earth is flat yo
@2be Blunt SpaceX is a private company, they do their own private launches for elon's starlink satellites and contract's from countries outside of the US all the time.
Something as precious as this surely placing another camera vessel next to the landing barge.
And my cynical mind was telling me that Space-X intentionally cuts the feed in case the landing is unsuccessful; they don't want the public to see a potential failure. Great video! Thanks for clarifying!! :)
That would be a first. They've broadcast every single failure when they could and even made a compilation of failures and posted it online.
On Starlink-7 the booster landed on Just Read The Instructions. (The former west coast now a east coast droneship) Just Read The Instructions got major upgrades when it moved from the west to the east coast as opposed to Of Course I Still Love You (East coast droneship) which still has the old equipment. So JRTI has a better connection than OCISLY bc of those upgrades.
Put a camera on a dolphin
Or, as suggested below, just delay the live footage transimition by 10 seconds so the vibrations will end before it starts broadcasting.

Hahhaha almost everyone here are from last week space x - NASA launch lol
So how can we see the live streaming of the camera Falcon 9 Rockets while entering Atmosphere at a really high speed ? what difference in video communication equipment are used?
It's a technology called, "Hope they haven't noticed". Surprising the viewers don't notice a discrepancy, that should exist when the Falcon 9 is down range and heading over Africa. The communication are still 100%, no delay, no buffering. Quite frankly, the recent video footage of Prince Charles from SKY NEWS, looked as if it was recorded on a VHS Recorder, with a screen filter effect on top. How about that? Some reporter covering "BLM" protest, had delay and buffering on the live repor in US, probably not that far from his Network Location. It's also hilarious that recently during Dragon Demo-2 an assistant has no problem with communication with the crew traveling twice the speed of sound while supposedly on the other side of the hemisphere, there's land between rocket and headquarters, yet she's chatting away as if she's next door to them. Selective, isn't it?
How about just adding a really big gimbal to the video feed antenna!?

So, you must assume that there is a local recording being made of the landing that is not part of the broadcast. I am sure that there is either videotape or digital imaging being done in order to provide analysis for the engineers and technicians. How about we get to see that?

Oh totally and I’ve seen those, by the way.

For the record, I accept the explanation given in this video. It makes just as much sense.

I love this channel.
The last two landings there were no camera cuts, since the barges have been recently upgraded I am thinking they are using the starlink sats now. Which to me makes since just to be putting traffic across them before having the starlink service even make it into beta. Also if there were multiple transmitters on the barges after the upgrades having hundreds of starlink sats up there it gives you many of targets for the transmitters to broadcast to. Also if that is the case, then it is giving lots of testing data to spacex on how the starlinks are functioning.
WOW, really cool to watch land. kind of reminds me of the bottle toss game people play. Will it land right side up ??!!

When you try to take a test but you didn't even read the book..
ruff xm ok yeah that makes sense. It was just the way the video was structured that I thought that
@cornskid Maybe for other events, but this one was released within a few hours.
they had a video of a night launch that didnt cut out a few days ago. also there was a far away view that came out of the day time one
What about placing the transmitter on a giant gimbal-like device to steady it?
Johnathan Sams that’s what I thought
Yeah man, that's so simple....wtf?!
what ever you thought of they probably already done it.. and it still failed apparently so they don't bother with it anymore..
Still, unnecessary costs as this has to be really giant and efficient gimbal for just couple of seconds of stream.
The transmitter IS already on a set of gimbals, that's how it aims.
No one seems truly appreciate the amplitude of the vibrations.
Gimbals provide aiming in 3 axes, but cannot provide the immense amount of damping that would be required to steady out the vibrations.
Thanks for this. The live chat on the stream (which I watch) is always full of reasons for this. From it really crashed into the sea to. . . well you can imagine some of the theories :)
Does seem that they always come up with some bull excuse like it's too far away.
how is the landing recorded then? the one released a few days later? Maybe put a similar antenna on that ship?
How about a high rate high precision egi / imu on the inner gimbal that can stabilize the pointing inertially
They landed their booster for the fifth time without any loss of footage on 'Just Read The Instructions' drone ship, following their Starlink mission on June 3, 2020.
Perhaps the engineers read the instructions when they installed the camera.
Tj Green lol
Tj Green with of course I still love you they gave up on reading the instructions but they wanted it to know they still love it
OF COURSE I STILL LOVE YOU HAVE LANDED
So What is the distant footage of the booster being filmed from?? Maybe a simple thing like a Chopper??
I really liked this video... And also the background music.. can someone tell me what music is it?
It's called "The sound of bullshit" mate.
Who is here after the May 30 2020 live footage of the landing cut out?
Me.
Ok, I get why this can't be live. But they need to manage expectations better. First, have something stating that the connection is "Likely to drop". This is just like the radio silence period of capsules re-entering the atmosphere. Then show the footage as soon as able once re-connected. This should only be minutes ... like a long broadcast delay. People won't care if its not live, but you have 5-10 minutes max until people start tuning out.
Maybe they ignore completely the mockery of missing footage and image damage... to a private business, or the obvious explanation is the real one, there is no footage. People can accept a strong reason, but same reason about cost and bad engineering is not working anymore.
I feel like the easiest fix would be by having an antenna either on a buoy style setup or a smaller ship that either of which could be deployed off the drone ship just prior to touch down and dragged behind the drone ship. Then winched back on board when the rocket has landed
It doesn't make sense to spend the money on that when it's just a couple seconds of video that aren't even lost, just time-delayed.
Just drag a dingy behind it with the transmitter
kingjb82 you will have a similar problem with the small boat, except it will be going out all the time. The pitch and roll on small boats are usually too fast for the uplink antenna to track. Even when using stronger Servos, the flex of the fish and mount causes outages. An electronically steered array antenna could theoretically be used. $$$$
Then it wont be recording directly at the landing
@@IBHunter this. small boats wouldn't work. way to much movement on them. and putting a big enough ship there just ads cost and complexity. its not worth it for spacex since they have the footage anyway and i guess the control center gets to easily see it anyway ;)
I would think that you could send a wider beam with the directional antenna, or give it gyroscope control to compensate
It's so you can't see them pulling a "Capricorn One" .
Haha! And I’m old enough that I didn’t have to google this to understand it. 😆👍
They're clearly been taught by it.
@Keith M Seems like OJ was running from the 'law' in that one, too.
It is the new religion. Gives all you money and we will "promise" to take you to Mars.
@@Lamster66@Haha, you're such a funnyman. So you're saying it's currently fake? But in next 20 years it won't be? By next 2-decades they would've graduated from "knob" polishers, to world travelers. That's new! Very ballsy.
Some of these clowns don't even know, how to work an electronic car-mirror. So 20 years is pretty optimistic.
Thanks for the clarification and technical information.
That was a clarification?
I was wondering this when the dragon crew rocket landed
@DONTRA HICKS ...exactly, Amen to that. All pseudoscience and brainwashing.
DONTRA HICKS and the earth is flat right and the sun is a drawing
1. A tethered flying drone off the end of the ship with the antenna, for vibration isolation. Hover the drone over the water, away from the incoming flight path of the booster.
2. Hover the antenna a few inches above its mount like the puck of an air hockey game. Vibration isolation achieved. Add a skirt like a hovercraft to contain the air flow. The signal cable will have slack coiled beneath the air skirt.
