Falcon 9 Block 5 completes its hold down firing! Totally enveloped itself in exhaust and she’s still standing once it cleared! 🤩 woohoo! 👏 @Teslarati #spacex #falcon9 #Block5
Falcon 9 Block 5 static fire test complete ahead of next week’s launch of Bangladesh’s first geostationary communications satellite. Vehicle is healthy. Data review will take a few days—will confirm a target launch date once that review is complete.
Meanwhile, on Florida’s space coast there is no fog this morning.

I'm a team member of Bangabandhu Satellite Project from Bangladesh. Some moments ago we came to know that @SpaceX is analyzing the bug of testing result of block 5 in California. We are still in doubt our satellite will be launching either 8 or 9
The Falcon 9 rocket has been moved into the horizontal position at launch pad 39A following yesterday's engine test firing: spaceflightnow.com/2018/05/03/fal…
We are ONE day out from the launch of Bangabandhu-1!This is the FIRST launch of a "Block 5" Falcon 9 rocket model, as well as the FIRST Bangladeshi communications satellite!Get your cameras ready for this launch of FIRSTS!
Hearing that SpaceX has informed Bangladesh’s telecommunications commission that Bangabandhu-1 liftoff is now targeted for NET Thursday, May 10. Obviously we need to wait for full confirmation by SpaceX, but still interesting. #Falcon9
