i watched this from my house in Orlando...i could not hear it...but i could see it...it was awesome...i can not wait till they launch the big one Ares V...i want to see that!
The real deal will have ullage motors to "kick" the 2nd stage away from the first and to also help settle the propellants in the tanks for J2X ignition.
Watch an old Saturn V lauch for a primer on staging.
Which videos do you mean? The 2 videos at NASAtelevision channel do include the separation. Btw, it didn't really go as planned, but they had 1 simulation which showed the situation like this.
Yeah, I figured as much it being normal. I saw this video first, then watched others with the tumble after the separation edited out. Not like it was a big deal, rather just a observation. Awesome launch none the less!
The "tumble" was normal. The 1st stage performs a "tumble fire rotation" that causes this on purpose. Upper stage gets a kick-away from first stage during separation on purpose due to the fact that it's not a full-up stage yet (no engine to pull away from sep)
