Liftoff of Falcon 9 and Transporter-6 with 114 payloads headed to orbit — including @launcher’s first-ever spacecraft, Orbiter SN1
You cannot win them all. Autotrack was doing well, tracking the booster all the way until entry burn shutdown. But, the early morning sunlight made the booster the same color as the sky. Neural net did not detect it. Problem will be corrected by adding additional training data.

Falcon 9 B1060 returns to land at Cape Canaveral after launching Transporter-6
A tint of green is seen at the tip of the flame as the center merlin engine reignites for landing burn at SpaceX Landing Zone 1

While we are waiting for deployment, the choreography of the launch of 114 cube-sats is quite impressive. I notice the cabling leading down to the second stage. Does SpaceX control the release of each individual, or does it just send a signal to the Sat Containers, and then the owner of the cube-stats containers orchestrates the deployments?
