What are those strap things that come off the second stage when it lights up?
-
You mean from the engine bell? That's a stiffener ring which is designed to fall off after engine startup.
-
Thanks! What’s the need for it?
-
The engine bell is made form very thin niobium alloy and flexes with vibration (during transport, launch and engine startup). The stiffener ring prevents too much oscillation and possible damage from that.

Thanks!
