Firemetal Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 That launch. O_______________________________O. First a top notch liftoff and then a bull's eye landing on the barge. All that hype... was worth it. Fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatastrophicFailure Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 They should bring the camera feed back up passing over Antarctica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper_f Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 And the one after that is on Feb. 8th with Falcon 9 • SpaceX CRS 10. When they return to flight status, they sure do not kid around.

StrandedonEarth Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) With those two stand-downs, I'm sure they have lots of completed vehicles sitting around waiting for their turn on the launch pad. At one point they were being held up by fairing production, which led Elon to look into ways to recover those ($6-$7million per). At least fairing production should have had a chance to get ahead.

Oliverm001x Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) Satellite seperations 7 minutes away Orbit confirmed as nominal. S2 burn has raised it up to 625 km circular inclined orbit! Currently over Madagascar, trajectory takes it over the middle east, just missing continental Africa.

TheEpicSquared Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Telemetry says 1st Iridium satellite has deployed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliverm001x Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) 1st satellite deployed successfully (according to a preliminary report), deployments every 100 seconds. In multiple levels Looking like a successful mission so far... The deployments are allegedly just out of camera view Where is the camera gimbal when you need it Second Satellite should have deployed. Telemetry is not available as of yet so it is as of now unconfirmed. Currently the satellite is out of the range of the grounds stations so telemetry is temporarily unavailable... More info to follow on the situation once connection is regained. Edited January 14, 2017 by Oliverm001x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliverm001x Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Update: All systems nominal but due to ground station anomalies still unconfirmed satellite deployments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEpicSquared Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Controller issue from the ground station means that SpaceX can't confirm if the remaining satellites have deployed, an update in roughly 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
