Less than 24 hours till next spacex launch bump. Will be a F9 launch for this one, but another falcon heavy is coming in 12 days.

Looks like we confirmed that the visibility near ground level can be absolute crap and everything go off without a hitch anyway. I would say it was another cool launch/landing, but I sure couldn't see anything to confirm it

Pretty cool watching it come up out of all that fog.

Going down too. I had always been under the impression that it had to go with visual guidance in the final seconds to hit the bullseye, but I sure couldn't see the target until it was practically on the ground. Clearly their GPS systems are pretty precise.

24-hour bump for Falcon Heavy. I'm stoked for the night time launch (and landing). Seeing two boosters coming down side-by-side in the dark is gonna be fun. Window opens at 11:30pm Eastern tomorrow night (Monday).

Wow. I hadn't really paid attention to how complex this mission is. Here's the timeline from the press kit:
Code:
00:00:42 Max Q (moment of peak mechanical stress on the rocket) 00:02:27 Booster engine cutoff (BECO) 00:02:31 Side boosters separate from center core 00:02:49 Side boosters begin boostback burn 00:03:27 Center core engine shutdown/main engine cutoff (MECO) 00:03:31 Center core and 2nd stage separate 00:03:38 2nd stage engine starts (SES-1) 00:04:03 Fairing deployment 00:07:13 Side boosters begin entry burn 00:08:41 Side booster landings 00:08:38 2nd stage engine cutoff (SECO-1) 00:08:53 Center core begins entry burn 00:11:21 Center core landing 00:12:55 Spacecraft deployments begin 01:12:39 Second stage engine restart (SES-2) 01:13:00 Second stage engine cutoff (SECO-2) 02:07:35 Second stage engine restart (SES-3) 02:08:04 Second stage engine cutoff (SECO-3) 03:27:27 Second stage engine restart (SES-4) 03:28:03 Second stage engine cutoff (SECO-4) 03:34:09 Final spacecraft deployment |
