It looked like a small leak from the bottom area of the booster after separation.

It looked like a small leak from the bottom area of the booster after separation.

I reviewed the video several times; indeed, there is evidence of ice shedding in a stream-like pattern. This phenomenon appears immediately following each firing of the attitude control thrusters. I believe it is caused by excess ice accumulating after each firing event. Thank you for your keen observation; I will also seek input from others. Additionally, I will review previous launch data tonight.

I will provide a video clip of the area of interest—please maintain focus on the left screen and the bottom of the booster, where streams of frozen propellant (perhaps liquid nitrogen) are released following thruster firings.
