Weather is looking good for tonight at 10:30pm Eastern. I'll be curious to see what (if any) part of the deployment they'll show. I can't imagine 60 of them are going to be spit off very quickly.
Cool article with lots of details about Starlink here: https://www.teslarati.com/spacex-rev...s-launch-time/ |
Bump.

Thanks..

Long coast phase tonight. Landing and SECO will happen about 10 minutes in, then nothing for almost an hour. Hopefully they'll stick around to show at least some of the satellites deploying, but I really have no idea what to expect.

Everyday Astronaut's stream is up if anyone's in the mood to start early.

I'm new to this. How soon will the webcast fire up?

Scrubbed?

Huh. Launch is scrubbed. Wonder what's up.
Try again tomorrow. |
