T+31 minutes, 48 seconds. Inmarsat-5 F4 has separated and is on its way to its final geostationary orbit.
Congratulations to SpaceX and Inmarsat on another successful Falcon 9 mission. This marks the 32nd overall success and the 34th Falcon 9 launch since its debut in June 2010.

S/C Sep!
Article from William Graham updated:
https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2017/05/expendable-falcon-9-inmarsat-5-f4-launch/Thanks to Steven, Zach and Chris - plus all the folks who chip in - with the coverage!
Per tradition. ONE POST EACH of congrats are allowed in this live thread (for nostalgia). All discussion and such go in the other threads.
Thanks again to the L2 members for paying for these amazing servers that allow us to cope with the massive demand of these launches.
Also, my own congrats! Per the pre-launch coverage and some reports from sources - and pending post launch review - this could be the cleanest mission yet! (No issues with the flow, LRR, etc. First time launch, etc.)

The webcast is coming to a close, offering to check out SpaceX's social media.
It was really a pleasure to help cover this launch. I'll see you later.
