Just as a reminder to everyone, this mission will be different from the others, the deployment of the satellites will be 15 minutes after liftoff.

Just as a reminder to everyone, this mission will be polar so it will be different from the others, the deployment of the satellites will be 15 minutes after liftoff.

Not polar, 70° is targeted.

B1049 becomes the second Falcon 9 to hit the 10 orbital launches milestone, landing on Of Course I Still Love You.

Really feels routine, but it's still stunning.

Looks like a bullseye for good measure. Actually more important these days with the upcoming catches of Boosters and Starships.

.. our second stage will coast for about 35 minutes until we reach apogee or the highest point of the orbit where we will conduct that second stage burn...

Did they forget to update the script? I protest the production values!

The launch host said they will be back for SES-2 around T+44m, so apparently their website and HUD got it wrong with a single burn insertion, as it's still coasting.

EDIT: Well, disregard...
