QuoteSpaceX’s drone ship is heading for a landing zone hundreds of miles off the Florida coast, multiple sources say. No center core landing close to shore, as suggested in an FCC filing earlier this year.

Is the FCC license for the original drone ship position still available to download? I don’t see the coordinates in Raul’s SpaceX Map, and I was wanting to input those coordinates in my Google Earth files.

I don’t see the coordinates in Raul’s SpaceX Map, and I was wanting to input those coordinates in my Google Earth files.The original was 0546-EX-ST-2019Thanks for that, but before Raul deleted his marker of where the drone ship was gonna be, I saw different coordinates than the ones on the FCC.Basically, I just calculated the distance from SLC-40 to the coordinates on the FCC, and it was 35 kilometers downrange. For Raul’s coordinates, I remember doing the distance calculation, which was 40 kilometers downrange. Where do those other coordinates come from?
Any weather folks know anything about that cyclone to the north of the LZ?

Where do those other coordinates come from?Remember the mission is launching from LC-39A not SLC-40, that 5km difference may be due to that.
USAF official confirms no ballast, approximate total value of the mission (including spacecraft and launch services) roughly $750 million.
It looks like they ditched one of the ESPA rings and mounted a couple of the COSMIC-2 sats to DSX? (Either that or the perspective is just confusing me.)
A SpaceX surprise: Falcon Heavy booster landing to smash distance recordBy Eric RalphPosted on June 19, 2019In an unexpected last-second change, SpaceX has moved Falcon Heavy Flight 3’s center core landing on drone ship Of Course I Still Love You (OCISLY) from 40 km to more than 1240 km (770 mi) off the coast of Florida.
