Don't know if this was already done by someone else, but here is the spacex.com/launches page for this mission saved in a pdf format.

Eeeyup, another member here started doing it two launches ago, since SpaceX stopped:

Yeah, but what I do is a bit different, I copy the text and arrange it similarly to the previous SpaceX mission press kits, while soltasto is saving how the entire website looks. People may have different preferences, so I guess we can continue creating both.
GO for launch, GO for age of reflight

OCISLY has arrived at Port Canaveral with B1059.3 onboard. Detail shots coming once they get this thing berthed.

Octograbbers deployment looks good, no wrapping this time. Also interesting markings on the side of the booster.

Falcon 9 B1059 has returned to Port Canaveral after its 3rd mission, launching SpaceX’s 9th batch of #Starlink sats.

It’s been a while since a booster has returned with the sun out, and it was beautiful!

They have lifted the opposite leg like they did with the other and placed what looks like a little cart/jack under the leg #SpaceXFleet

That’s what they are placing under the legs. They just lifted up another leg and placed the same thing under it

The crane is still attached to the cap this time. I wonder why they disconnected it last time they did this method

Fantastic footage, especially of Octograbber!  I muted the sound though and provided my own soundtrack.

Is that a record for how quickly they were able to go horizontal?
Starship, Vulcan and Ariane 6 have all reached orbit.  New Glenn, well we are waiting!

According to my records, from docked to horizontal it's considerably over twice as fast as the previous fastest time (DM-2).  Quite close to three times as fast.

Did anyone time out how long it took to put up all 4 legs from start to finish? I've been interested in how much they're able to speed up that process. I don't trust myself to get it right just looking at timestamps on the tweets.

Sharing footage from yesterday's beautiful morning arrival of OCISLY and the Starlink-8 first stage. I love filming the SpaceX Fleet working.. and the captivated people out fishing or for a morning run. Always endless visual wonders at the port, but when a rocket comes back things turn to pure magic.



New to the forum and hope it's ok to share. Big fans of my fellow photographer colleagues and friends Chris G., Julia, Nathan, Mike and others.

CelesTrak now has TLEs from @18SPCS for 66 objects associated with the Starlink launch on Jun 13 (https://celestrak.com/NORAD/elements/).

As expected, 58 Starlinks + 3 SkySats +5 debris objects

Did we ever learn about the condition the fairings were in?  Looked good under the tarps, but didn't hear anything after that.

Have a good one,
