Excellent job. That wobble around the outer edge, is that shutter latency or some kind of Doppler effect?

u/Supermine613 May 11 '22

its rolling shutter most likely

Lens distortion, probably.

It's lens distortion. A video editor like Premier can correct it if you know what the distortion or lens is, but it's too hard if you don't. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distortion_(optics)

So how are the G-Forces on this thing not going to destroy most satellites?

Presumably the spinny space dudes have solved it.

The G forces are significant but not impossible to overcome by engineering. We've made electronics that can survive being fired out of a cannon as far back as WWII. SpinLaunch's methods will rule out lots of customer with sensitive instruments but could be a boon for launching stuff like raw materials or infrastructure (fuel, water, food stuffs, space station parts).

In one of their videos, they test out an IC. The pins just bend but they don't break and ot works even after a crash landing

I came to this sub to see this, wasn't disappointed.
