They could have been waiting for s/c acquisition again before calling it a success. I dunno.

Awesome, congratulations all of SpaceX and Thaicom. No scrub, no abort, no rollback, just a smooth launch at the start of the window. Also, fastest turnaround yet. That there may be many more this year!

(but hopefully with some faster coverage after SECO for all the interested people

)

And thanks NSF for the coverage

are we getting the wrong times for these second burns? or are they just being very slow to tell the world that things went OK?

The relights occur thousands of kilometers downrange and present a significantly tougher challenge for communications from ground tracking stations than the initial launch. My guess is that's related to the relatively slow confirmation of success on this and the previous launch.

And that's the way it's done, congrats SpaceX!

Congrats to all @SpaceX on a successful and seemingly flawless launch!
Hopefully one of many more successful launches with some nice soft terra forma landings.

Probably. Do they even have tracking for SECO-2?

Grats to SpaceX and Thaicom on their choice of launch provider

William's article updated (give it a read, it's great - I know one of you didn't, asking a question that was answered in the article, sinner).
