Successful deployment of 60 Starlink satellites confirmed
This sure didn’t look norminal, near first stage MECO. #Starlink
Elon: Yeah. There was also an early engine shutdown on ascent, but it didn’t affect orbit insertion. Shows value of having 9 engines! Thorough investigation needed before next mission.
Starlink-5 from Max Brewer bridge.5th time flown. Unfortunately it did not successfully land. #starlink #spacex #falcon9 #rocketlaunch @SpaceX
L i f t o f fThe #SpaceX Falcon 9 blasts off Kennedy Space Center Pad 39A this morning, where Apollo 11 once launched to the moon. It was the first Starlink launch from the historic pad.Streak captured by @johnkrausphotos for Supercluster
Last launch aborted due to slightly high power. Possibly, but not obviously, related to today. This vehicle has seen a lot of wear, so today isn’t a big surprise. Life leader rockets are used only for internal missions. Won’t risk non-SpaceX satellites.
Today’s Falcon 9 launch was the second time SpaceX has re-flown a full payload fairing. After landing in the water, both fairing halves were quickly recovered.
