SECO-1 is confirmed. Starting now, a 43-minute coast phase will be in effect until Falcon 9 reaches its apogee. At that point, a short burst of the MVac engine will raise the perigee.

All right. We will now take a commercial break for the majority of the coast phase. When we return, the second stage will do its perigee raise and eventually release the 10 Iridium-NEXT satellites.
Don't go away just yet.

Watched contrail and a bit of orange flame from the beach at the end of my street (about 65 miles NW) and hurried home to see the landing. Grid fins looked to be in great shape. Noticeable lack of burnt bits on the stage one camera lens too!

New titanium grid fins worked even better than expected. Should be capable of an indefinite number of flights with no service.

Most of you are (thanks!) but remember, until the last sat is deployed, this is updates only.

Stage 2 live telemetry popped back up on screen, and the 'map view' camera is panning around Antarctica.
About 2/3 of the way to ignition 2
