SpaceX F9 : SES-22 : CCSFS SLC-40 : 29 June 2022 (21:04 UTC)

People always seem to be curious about how loud launches get. Well, here's how loud today's launch of SES-22 was from the press viewing about 3 miles away. (embedded Tweet)

For the record, the video showed mostly high 90s dBA with a couple peaks at 106 dBA.

Sound from the press site definitely varies. Crew-4 left my ears ringing. But I've been to launches from that distance where the sound is barely louder than the crowd.

A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship is now getting underway from the LZ towards Port Canaveral with B1073.

Doug towed ASOG out but tug Finn Falgout has the honor of towing it back in for what will be its final mission with SpaceX. Arrival Jul 2-3.

16.54deg, 310 x 35,627km
About GTO-1600

I calculate 1602 m/s. :-)

Enter initial perigee height (km): 310
Enter initial apogee height (km): 35627
Enter required inclination change (deg): 16.54
Enter final orbit height (km): -1
Geosynchronous altitude = 35786.0 km

Burn at   310.0 km: theta1 =  0.00 deg, dv1 =    2.6 m/s
Burn at 35786.0 km: theta2 = 16.54 deg, dv2 = 1599.3 m/s
dv = 1602.0 m/s

The SES-22 mission has concluded with the return of B1073 to Port Canaveral. This was the second flight for this booster and it's a rare treat to see a mostly clean booster with so many now in the double digits of use.

SES relocates SES-22 to 139°W.

REQUEST FOR AUTHORITY TO RELOCATE SES-22
SES-22 is a U.S.-licensed C-band satellite that currently operates at 135° W.L. To
better serve existing and future customers, SES proposes to relocate SES-22 from 135° W.L. to
139° W.L., where it will supplement the service provided by the AMC-6 space station. SES will
continue to provide C-band capacity at the nominal 135° W.L. orbital location using SES-19,
which operates at 134.9° W.L.
