Deutsche Gin: SpaceX new base size or $100 billion

According to Deutsche Bank, the central importance of the new “star base” in Louisiana is to pave the way for future large-scale deployment of orbital data centres and high-frequency (HF) starship launches. The ideal orbit of such satellites is close to the Sun-synchronous orbit, in particular the dark morning orbit, which runs along the line of the day and night, in order to obtain a more stable solar energy supply. The south-to-south launch of Bocachica, Texas, will soon be restricted by Mexico ' s direction, while the Louisiana coast has a longer open-water corridor to the south, more suitable for high-frequency launches to such orbits. The initial plan for the new site is five sets of double-launchers, with a total of 10 towers, with a long-term potential for more than 12 towers and more than 30 launches per day. But once the frequency of the launch increases from dozens to hundreds or even thousands of times, the bottlenecks will shift from “rocket flight” to “launch system sustainability”. According to German silver, a single launch, in the liquid oxygen component alone, would amount to a shipment of approximately 180 trucks and would clearly not support long-term high-frequency operations. Thus, SpaceX has included in the new base planning field fuel processing, air separation, pipelines and deep-water harbours, and the geographical conditions for the concentration of local gas pipelines and LNG industrial chains in Louisiana serve this demand. For the market, the main line of commercial space will further extend from rocket manufacturing to orbital deployment, energy, deep cooling equipment and propellant infrastructure if the ship moves to industrialization.
