A batch of 20 satellites for the Starlink mega-constellation - SpaceX's project for space-based Internet communication system.
Launch trajectory and telemetry simulations provided by Flight Club - a rocket launch simulator and orbital trajectory visualiser for all things space!
All satellites are believed to have reentered the atmosphere. Downgrading the outcome to full failure.
A RUD of the second stage engine during its second burn led to deployment of the Starlink satellites into a lower than intended orbit. Some may be salvageable using their onboard propulsion to compensate.
Payload deployment confirmed, orbit data pending.
Liftoff.
T-0 is accurate to the second
Falcon 9 is a two-stage rocket designed and manufactured by SpaceX for the reliable and safe transport of satellites and the Dragon spacecraft into orbit. The Block 5 variant is the fifth major interval aimed at improving upon the ability for rapid reusability.
See DetailsThe Falcon 9 first stage B1063 has landed on ASDS OCISLY after its 19th flight.
Result: Successful Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship landing at Of Course I Still Love You.Space Exploration Technologies Corp., known as SpaceX, is an American aerospace manufacturer and space transport services company headquartered in Hawthorne, California. It was founded in 2002 by entrepreneur Elon Musk with the goal of reducing space transportation costs and enabling the colonization of Mars. SpaceX operates from many pads, on the East Coast of the US they operate from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and historic LC-39A at Kennedy Space Center. They also operate from SLC-4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, usually for polar launches. Another launch site is being developed at Boca Chica, Texas.
