Despite all weather odds #SpaceX Starlink 8 booster 1049.5 made a picture perfect launch & landing on JRTI tonight making it the 1st booster to land 5 different times. Its been quite the week for SpaceX. More pics soon. #NASA #Space
Any news about the fairing ?
Ms. Tree and Ms. Chief departed from the fairing recovery zone at about 5am ET and are now en-route to Port Canaveral.
There is no update on the recovery.Silence has historically meant that SpaceX did not catch it. Still a good chance that they might have scooped it from the water though.
Tracking suggests that Falcon 9 has been secured and that Just Read the Instructions droneship is on the move!Why did it take so long? Crew are not allowed onto the droneship at night so they had to wait until daylight to complete ops.
For the 5th time, the #SpaceX F9 launched from CCAFS LC-40 taking another batch of #Starlink satellites into orbit. It was a beautiful launch & made better by landing on JRTI making 5 flights & recoveries for the 1st time. #NASA #Space
Last few shots from my remote camera at pad 40 CCAFS of #SpaceX #Starlink 8's mission last night. A beautiful launch & an historical mission as B1049.5 landed successfully for a 5th time on JRTI. Have a favorite, let me know? Prints are available. #NASA #Space now time 4 a break!
Ms. Tree and Ms. Chief are 30 minutes from Port Canaveral.
Welcome home Ms Tree and Ms Chief! Catch or no catch, those are some beautiful ships.
@SpaceX Fairing catchers Ms. Chief and Ms. Tree have returned to Port Canaveral. This was in support of the Starlink 7 Mission.@SpaceXFleet
Ms. Tree has returned to port canaveral with a damaged fairing and an up catch net. #SpaceXFleet #SpaceX @SpaceXFleet
Ms. Chief has returned to port canaveral with what appears to be an intact fairing and the catch net up. #SpaceXFleet #SpaceX @SpaceXFleet
The first piece of Ms. Trees fairing is on the hard. The transport trucks have arrived and the crane is in place to move Ms. Chiefs half. #SpaceXFleet #ouch
bit of coverage from me...I need breakfast. Ms. Chiefs fairing half has been loaded onto the transport truck. Both boats have pulled around to corner to their regular spots. The damaged fairing is sitting on the hard in a heap #SpaceXFleet
Despite it beginning to rain, Ms. Chiefs fairing half just had the tarp removed. It looks undamaged from this side. #SpaceXFleet
Just Read the Instructions droneship is tracking for an arrival time just after dawn ET on Sunday June 7th.
Due to poor weather offshore overnight the arrival time for Just Read the Instructions will be moving later today.The Fleet is still 100km north of the Cape. Looking more like 11 - 5pm ET but hard to say.Updates to follow but I will give a 2 hour arrival notice at a minimum.
Well look who finally gave another ping. I know they look close but there is still a couple of hours till they get to the channel. 4-5pm is still a good rough estimate of Port Canaveral arrival of B1049.5 on JRTI. #SpaceXFleet
I have spotted B1049.5 on the horizon. #SpaceXFleet #SpaceX #JRTI
'Just Read the Instructions' droneship arrival time has now moved to ~7pm ET per Canaveral Maritime Pilots.
Look at all of the scorch. B1049.5 is almost here! Hello JRTI!#SpaceXFleet
