A gorgeous 1st launch and landing of 2023 as SpaceX launched the Transporter-6 mission. Some onlookers enjoying the booster landing moments before sonic booms rocked Cape Canaveral.

Liftoff of Transporter-6!

I couldn't have posed the public any better if I tried.

I'm counting 114 without another spacecraft for NPC Spacemind on the Orbiter tug.

There are still the Maverick Space Systems payloads announced for the Geometric-1 mission (hosted payloads?), and I don't know if it was announced earlier but maybe it's safe to assume that there are no deployable payloads on CHIMERA LEO 1.

I'm assuming RROCI was on the Maverick port, I don't know if they had anything else there. I'm assuming Geometric didn't end up having any involvement at all in the final payloads. Pushan Alpha should be on either Orbiter or Chimera. I wish Exolaunch would give their number of payloads. I think I'm at 46 of 47 for ISIL.

.@SpaceX has successfully launched a new #Ukrainian satellite PolytITAN-HP-30 into orbit

A scientific experiment will be carried out on the satellite to study the effectiveness of heat pipes as the main element of spacecraft thermal stabilization systems.

Any idea whether the fairings on this launch were new or reused? The webcast host didn't comment on it and I can't tell from the video.

I'm assuming they're new, but it's hard to tell, and SpaceX doesn't always specify it even when they're reused.

Falcon 9 carried 114 spacecraft to orbit that were set to deploy across 82 deployments, 78 of which have been confirmed. Teams are continuing to review data, though it may take customers some time to provide additional information on the status of their payloads
