Bermuda AOS.

Loss of video. Webcast host says Falcon 9 and SES are now in orbit. No additional word on if we have had SECO. Saying to check their website for further updates.

EDIT: SECO has occurred, but still have another critical engine restart coming up for the second burn.

SpaceX ending the webcast.

Pad empty, coverage over for now.

Let's keep this SPECIFIC to updates.

Big events coming up with the restart.

The "AOS Bermuda" call talked over (and drowned out) the launch/flight controller; I thought I heard a SECO call under the AOS Bermuda call, but wasn't sure.

If you rewind back to the stage separation, you can clearly see the first stage performing some RCS burns. Probably the best images of first stage RCS so far.
