IFT12 V3 Hardware Definitely Faster
IFT12 acceleration off the pad was initially faster than IFT10/11, similar to IFT6, but started to outpace all after 30 s. They throttled the thrust way back, almost half, for max Q, but then found another gear, rapidly increasing to 2 g (could have been more if not for the loss of 1 engine) until hot staging. Unfortunately, with the new status bar layout, there's no booster speed display for about 80 s after hot staging, so can't see if there was a negative jolt that could h
The IFT12 hardware demonstrated superior acceleration compared to previous iterations, initially matching earlier models but significantly surpassing them after 30 seconds. Despite a deliberate thrust reduction during maximum dynamic pressure, the vehicle later accelerated rapidly, reaching 2 g. Although a lost engine prevented higher speeds, the ship continued to perform well after hot staging. Post-staging, the ship experienced a drop in acceleration due to a lost RVAC engine, but the remaining engines were throttled up, achieving a peak of approximately 4 g.
This analysis provides insights into the performance of new rocket hardware, highlighting its acceleration capabilities and how it responded to in-flight anomalies.
