less than a bong to go.
It's difficult to find a full list of the satellites onboard, but this does an alright job

mission control audio is LIVE

Will this be the 9th flight for that Falcon-9 booster, or that a different one?

>>12617887
>Launch vehicle: SpaceX Falcon 9 with first stage B1058.5 (prior launches: DEMO-2, ANASIS-II, Starlink-L12, CRS-21)
The current flight leaders have 8 flights; B1051 and B1049 iirc.

>>12617890
>>12617887
my bad; B1049 is still sitting on 7. So B1051 is in the lead currently (as of last Wednesday when it launched some Starlink satellites )

>>12617797
Forecast:

Weather will be good and launch will proceed as planned.
Landing will be successful and look very cool, once again.
Reporting/commentary will be extremely homosexual, as always.
Chat will consists of 90% ledditors and 10% brainchads.
In conclusion: NASA fags once again eternally BTFO

ahh hell yeah my boi tranny

fuck this

>>12617797
So is this a generic patch that'll keep getting used like the Starlink one? Guess we better get used to it.

>https://arstechnica.com/science/2020/06/planet-teams-with-spacex-to-expand-its-earth-observation-constellation/
" SpaceX has worked with Planet to devise a means of attaching the Planet satellites on top of its stack of 60 Starlink satellites. These rideshare missions came together quickly, as Planet and SpaceX only signed an agreement about six months ago. "This is the result of SpaceX dramatically cutting the cost of access to launch," said Mike Safyan, vice president of launch at Planet. "It's significant. They cut the price so much we could not believe what we were looking at." "

>>12617943
fog is the "in thing" this week, it was all over the snine static fires

>>12617947
perhaps. the patch URL has _01 in it, which suggests it will change for Transporter-2...

RED ON WEATHER

Holy shit it's Ryan Higa!

>>12617954
man florida is fucking weird, I've been there a few times—it can really just go from sunny to downpour to sunny over the course of 5 minutes.

scrubbed

SURFACE ELECTRICAL FIELDS NOOOOOOOO

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

wtf scrubx

pack up boys....it's over

IT'S OGRE FOR SCRUBX

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

wut

>>12617969
What a disastrous payload. spacex the new nasa? Bankrupt soon...

>>12617967
What did they mean by this? Static discharge?

Wasn't this a non-instantaneous launch window though?

see you all tomorrow morning then

>>12617979
honestly I have no clue. I assume it has to do with
"Do not launch within 10 nautical miles of the edge of a thunderstorm that is producing lightning within 30 minutes after the last lightning is observed."?

>>12617989
>>12617979
Some lightning goes from the ground to the cloud. Storms affect everything around them for miles.

saving the thread for tomorrow's attempt

TACTICAL SCRUB INBOUND

STARSHIP RIDESHARE SOON

Damn that sooty grey booster is kino

>>12617797
>clover on the patch
Alright which one of you fucks is involved with this?

Imagine the money oldspace lost out on with this single launch...

Bros... if something goes wrong, they'll lose 143 fucking satellites
How much is this payload worth?

>>12622301
f1 flight 4 had a clover on it. it worked, and saved the company. every single patch since then has also had a clover. It's a spacex tradition

>>12622303
Probably not more then others, those sats are tiny, so not worth much

Cape SSO kino inbound

That payload stack is pretty kino

>>12622318
ya

Let's roll

HOLY KINO THAT TRACKING SHOT

holy shit, that stage2 cam was WOBBLY as fuck

earth looking pretty as always

Stage 1 landings are always exciting

Pretty views of the bahamas from the first stage

>>12622332
Is this the first polar launch from Cape Canaveral? Is the recovery vessel in the Bahamas or something?

>>12622335
There was a polar Cape launch last year, though it was a RTLS landing

>>12622335
See >>12617824

>>12622335
2nd polar launch since the 60s, previous one was last year.
see >>12617824

nearly hit something there.. getting awfully crowded in those skies.

This is so fucking beautiful. Every time!

nice dogleg

map still has the starlink launch trajectory? lol

>>12622343
That's a seagull

Son of a Bitch!

ez landing

>>12622350
He was about to become a spacegull

>>12622349
Seems like it.
What a weird oversight.

pretty sure furthest leg from camera is broken

>>12622359
why would you think that lmao

>>12622359
If it were the thing would have tipped already

>>12622359
If it were broken, I'm pretty sure the whole thing would fall over.

>>12622349
>>12622357
Not sure what you guys are looking at, but you know this is a polar orbit, right? They precess like that as Earth rotates. I see three orbits, the third being almost perpendicular to the camera.

144 sats in one go, amazing.

>>12622349

Yeah, that was a bit confusing for me too.

>>12622362
it look slanted

>>12622365
>>12622366
no they have crumple section

>>12622362
This I'm pretty sure there's a shadow on the left.
That being said it might be able to stand on 3 legs if the 4rd isn't extended because the mass would be slightl shifted to the extended sides.

>>12622367
yeah that's from last week's starlink launch

>>12622369
Huh, weird.
Not sure what's happening here.
>>12622367
Check out pic related, there's a second trajectory in grey.

>>12622375
>Not sure what's happening here.

it's what happen when they land too hard

>>12622375
Oh yeah, it was already gone over the edge by the time I looked. It's even got the first stage landing path.

>>12622350
Steven?

This music is fire! I seriously want to know where they got it from.

>>12622393
Test Shot Starfish, all tracks are on spotify

>>12622393
Newfriends don't know about Test Shot Starfish.

>>12622393
For real

>>12622399

Thank you anon, that was very kind of you.

They used to list out the song names on stream. Sucks that they don't anymore.

>>12622421
accidentally posted to the wrong thread

>>12622425
first time they've showed that camera view I think

SPAC

>>12622414
I think someone decided it didn't fit with their new "curved timeline" layout. Isn't that about the time they stopped mentioning TSS?

>>12622369
faggot doomerposter BTFO

>>12622440
They could just briefly show it at the top of the screen periodically

>>12622442
>Elon is browsing the thread
>Asks support ship to change views for this

>>12622442
I thought the main point of watching the second stage live was the music?

good orbit

deployments aren't very dramatic. Blink you you miss it!

off they go!

both fairings caught successfully

bros...

>>12622548
6 million dollars right thar

>>12622548
How heavy are the fairings?

>>12622548
wow, that was quick. Nice job this time

>>12622545
woo hoo! is this the first time they got both of them?

>>12622558
nah

It's gonna be back in sunlight soon. Maybe we'll get better views of the last few deployments.

rumor is these starlink sats have laser links

Can y'all actually see any of these deployments, I cant see a thing?

>>12622575
yep some earlier ones you could see them tumbling out

>>12622575
wheeeeee

>>12622575
The only illumination for the rideshares was basically the equivalent of a cheap flashlight.

>>12622593
wow, that actually isn't clear at all. Here, 3 eons in paint.

we sun now

sick spins of the second stage underway
are they just gonna let the payload adapter drift off?

>>12622616
think it burns up with s2

That was a kinda concerning loss of signal

What a mission. The absolute madmen.

next up, sn9 hop

>>12622393
Also on Soundcloud
Some of his older tracks are even better

>no more music
booo, now i have to create my own playlist

"Starship Rideshare" incoming. RIP Small satellite launchers :(

if there were enough satellites on orbit, wouldn't that literally solve global warming

>>12623340
that would require a FUCKTON of satellites. I mean billions if not trilltions of them. What the space debris doomers don't understand is that space is huge and sats and small. Pictures like this only look bad because they inflate shit until each object is many times the size of a large city.

>>12623463
The point of kessler syndrome isn't that there are like 1000 decommissioned sats slowly deorbiting, it's everything from that to spent staging bolts, frozen liquid and so on reaching a point where they aren't trackable anymore. Like when they collide with several times the speed of sound and then you have even more junk. It surely isn't a problem yet, but do you really want launch windows and courses to get cucked because they have to wait before that Zimbabwean space station (dissassembled, plus) can be asked to vacate the area?

Space is huge is just half of the formula
Humanity is also really retarded.
