How does SpaceX transmit the video feed from the first and second stage cameras?
- ddxv 2y agoI also find it pretty interesting! I recently thought of it while watching the upper stage losing stability and tumbling out of control. It made me realize that it was maintaining the video feed even as it tumbled / spun. Is it just that the radio goes out in all directions and is thus received in sufficient quantities to build the video feed?
- LorenDB 2y agoThat is from five years ago. Today, they use Starlink, at least on Starship. https://x.com/EvaFoxU/status/1798695001746289112 https://x.com/EvaFoxU/status/1798695001746289112 https://x.com/FutureJurvetson/status/1768282662710710639 https://x.com/FutureJurvetson/status/1768282662710710639
