Just Happened! SpaceX Revealed 1st Starship Payload Deployed to Orbit that Shocked NASA&Blue Origin
Successful liftoff and landing are merely the starting points in the journey of a rocket. The true measure of Starship’s long-term success lies in its ability to execute its missions effectively.
Recently, SpaceX officially announced that Starship will deploy payloads in space during its Starship Flight 7, paving the potential for billion-dollar missions in the future.
Let’s find out on today’s episode of Alpha Tech:
As we know, to maintain financial stability and launch frequency, about 60% of SpaceX’s Falcon and Falcon Heavy rocket launches are dedicated to Starlink satellites. The remaining launches carry payloads including satellites and scientific installations from various customers and organizations worldwide.

This positions Starship—the world’s largest reusable rocket, with the ambitious goal of sending humans to Mars—on a development path that addresses every aspect of its mission without concerns about funding throughout its future journey.
Clearly, Starship must first serve as a revenue generator for SpaceX before pursuing its grander ambitions. That moment has now arrived – in SpaceX’s latest update regarding the major changes for Flight 7, they announced that Starship V2 will deploy a simulated satellite in space for the first time.
This is a crucial exercise related to the primary function of the spacecraft’s cargo bay.

This mission involves deploying 10 experimental Starlink satellite models designed to accurately replicate the size, weight, and physical characteristics of the next-generation Starlink satellites. While these are not operational satellites, they have been built to test and validate Starship’s deployment systems under realistic conditions.
Using these experimental models ensures the tests are conducted safely without generating space debris, aligning with SpaceX’s commitment to responsible space operations.

Elon you sure know how to hire them. That is Definitely your Success.
Great episode!
Glad to see the cargo door minimized, and corners rounded to reduce hull stress points, I seem to remember a writ on that very issue! 😂
In the video, didnt mention which direction the new slider door moves? up? down? to one side? or splits?
Any slider likely better than a flap door. Flap doors are for tents… 😂
Will be nice to start launching large diameter Telescopes, give the Astro Nerds something to keep busy with instead of Astro-Whining about Starlink satellites.
Yeah! getting closer to operational every launch! Soon if NASA wants to use Boeing Capsules, Elon can ask them how many they want launched at a time? 😂 Maybe a dozen or so fit in Starship?
That way, if some are dysfunctional, maybe others can get your astronauts back? 😊
Or Elon can offer to do a nose mount on a Starship for Jeff's rockets, and get them into orbit like a hood ornament on a '56 Chevy… 😂
Starship is gonna change everything..
Things will start getting busy in orbit, and fun to watch from the ground with amature telescopes.
Might be a good time to buy stock in those telescope companies, as there will be alot going on for people to watch and share images of, with recordings of their communications…
Basically SpaceX will be making Space a business opportunity zone right before our eyes…
Will be fun to see You Tube channels pop up to cover it all…
And its gonna come fast! its been what? 4 years since Hopper roughly? Another 4 years will see a sky filling with ships big enough to see with the naked eye at night.
Also soon the first lights at night on the Moon… Imagine that? Moon Base area lighting coming on at Lunar dusk?
Glad somebody was relentless enough to make it happen!
Thanks to Elon and the SpaceX tribe, Houston, we have a future!
Unfortunately for SpaceX
I’ve beaten them to it in KSP with my starship!
BEAT THAT SPACEX
The JWST uses beryllium for it's mirror for it's high heat capacity and thermal conductivity, and it is segmented because it is cheaper to produce 18 smaller mirror than one monolithic.
No-one has even brought up the "small" problem of the crew emergency escape for Starship. How is that supposed to happen? After Challenger you would think that would be pretty important.
It is objectively fascinating, especially if it comes to fruition.
Tht wld a huge payload towards mankind. We'll keep on dreaming, who knws everything, one day it will happen in a blink of an eye by no other thn Mr. Genius Elon and his SpaceX.
I am positive about the predicament of my Scientific Eng'g hero. there is no need for me to re-eggin.
I wondered with all of these Spacecraft, Spaceships we're jst sending in outer space, does it affect our Earth 🌎 Plasma❓️
Thank U ✨️

I was about to applaud, then I realized this is “First payload to a sub orbital flight”
Always deception😢
If I was in charge of spacex my second priority would be to create and launch a low orbit Oxygen harvester with a powerful Ion engine that uses Nitrogen. This is to defeat air resistance. The harvester docks with a tanker in a higher orbit and supplies the Oxygen. That way the cargo on the tanker launched into space is soley Methane. As a power source, well I remember a ball shaped object on a tether being launched from the space shuttle. The tether generated a current so powerful it blew the cable if I remember right. Perhaps this could be used to power light supercapacitors feeding the Ion engine firing powerful pulses behind the harvester.
The shift to a Pez dispenser-like system for payload deployment is a game-changer, efficient and innovative. It’s inspiring to see how this could open doors for larger and more complex missions.
Click bait 😂
They need to have Robots build the base and see a round trip before they send people .
At this rate, they could deploy fig newtons the size of manhole covers in space and day now!
BULLSHIT clickbait
So based on your numbers it will Take only 10 Starship flights to Match all Pre2025 starlink lunches in terms of bandwidth ie. 60 v3s/launch * 10 v2s/v3 * 10 launches = 6000 v2s bandwidth equivalent. So in a single year ==> July 2025 to July 2026 they will be able to double the bandwidth of the network quite easily I suspect while still landing a test starship on the Moon The following 18 Months might only get another 10 starship starlink missions of the ground but would also include 5 Unmanned Mars ships a maned landing on the moon and a few commercial and military missions perhaps including a Space Station skeleton. After 2028 the sky's NOT the limit.
Since the Starship will not reach orbit, how can the deployed payload be "Deployed to Orbit"?
I was going to suggest hollow balsa mockups, but that Elon, throwing out fairly accurate birds to deploy. 😊
I wonder if the first leader of the Mars community will be Emperor Elon.
Bye.
1% information and 99% rehashed old news.
Space on the orbital ring is limited, and he's launching dummy satellites? More junk to clean up.
No news channel is trust worthy
"Just happened". Headline that prompts me to skip the video.
Thumbs down after 3 seconds of audio…
The only thing that "Just happened" was more click bait! Starship Payload Deployed? Deployed What? More click bait? It NEVER deployed anything yet! You Channel is full of crap and click bait! You Tube community is laughing at you! Your channel is the biggest Joke on the Web!
it's great we not alone, UFOS come youtube.com/watch?v=Gb1MwLjAmNc&t=2s
Exceptionally Brilliant!
Maybe Elon will send his robots in first so they can be there working to set up habitats, deal with cargo and maybe even start the manufacturing process for more oxygen and the methane needed.
Once we get a whole starbase up and running, then we can build in space 🎉
Elon is planning ahead! Rockets to get to Mars, boring machines to protect from the radiation on Mars, everything!
