Ectoplasm. (OK, no, really? I don't know, but there is a clear green flash that is reminiscent of TEA-TEB just after touchdown. Maybe they flush their starter fluid as part of making the rocket safer to handle?) Edited October 16, 2022 by mikegarrison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly heavier since they were 60 I believe, but the main difference is that they changed the target orbit. The most favourable shell that Cape launches could fill is full now, the new ones go to more deltaV expensive inclinations. In case the current shells are filled before the F9 Starlink launches are retired in favour of the SS Starlink v2 ones (pretty likely), at some point there's going to be even less, 50 or so Edited October 19, 2022 by Beccab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beccab Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 More details on the Dragon Hubble servicing mission study There isn't a lot of time left to choose between reboost and deorbit; considering that NASA will not wait for the 50% chance of natural deorbit in '35, they would have to launch a deorbit module a few years before that in order not to risk it doing a Skylab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beccab Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Liftoff, MaxQ, MECO, fairing sep, landing and now SECO are all done. Successful launch so far, the landing was really dead center I know this gets said every launch, but I'm impressed by how unnoticed this F9 launch went lol. Out of the space journalists i check only Sheetz had anything on it, not even NSF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCgothic Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 It needs to be a URL link. Either select "open image in new tab" and then copy the URL from the address bar, or download the image and reupload it to an image hosting site like IMGBB, which will give you a link as part of the process. Then click insert image from URL in the bottom right of the forum reply editor. Alternatively tweets insert automatically when a link to the tweet is pasted into the editor. Sometimes just needs a few spaces adding after the end of the URL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
