tater Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 F9 in startup. Go for launch. Liftoff! MECO, sep, fairing. SES-1 (obviously) Entry burn. Landing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeSchmuckatelli Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 I'm so used (now) to seeing sooty SX rockets that I'm kinda enthralled by the brand new one they lifted at VBerg. Really interesting how sooty it got from just one flight. The glaring difference between the exposed surfaces and those masked by the landing legs was cool to see. (Oddly, I'm getting a flash-back to seeing Star Wars for the first time, with dirty hard-used looking craft - which was a departure from the pristine look preceding SciFi craft used) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sevenperforce Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Was it just me, or did the landing burn look a little shaky on the way in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKI Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Tried to see the latest Vandenburg launch with clear skies. Didn't see anything from where I was haha. A friend said they saw the smoke trail, but they where few miles closer to where I'm at (I'm still like 100 miles away though). Guess I'll need to either get closer, or only pay attention to night launches. Then again a noon launch is probably the brightest the day could get.

They really need some sort of broadband, available everywhere on Earth so they have have better video. Maybe that Amazon thing will happen someday Was hard to tell cause the video quality was so poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beccab Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Still feels weird that we've just seen the third falcon 9 launch of the week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tater Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Apparently 2 more Starlink launches in Feb. March has a possible FH, and the Axiom crew mission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see three on nextspaceflight from LC49-A, plus a possible one from Vandemberg. Realistically, maybe two more from FL and one from Vandemberg?

It was rare that I caught any sign of VBerg rocket launches from LA. (Freaky during the 80s). I've actually seen more launches while on vacation in Fla. Not sure why that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrandedonEarth Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Gawdam, I can already feel the vibrations in the ground from the hype engines spooling up. Who's got a seismograph to get a reading on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
