Liftoff from a constantly changing LC-39A!

SpaceX launches Falcon 9 for the 33rd time this year, leaving their previous record in the dust, and placing another batch of Starlink satellites in orbit.

Falcon 9 landing confirmed on the deck of "A Shortfall of Gravitas" in the Atlantic Ocean.

This booster -- tail number 1062 -- nailed its eighth landing on a drone ship.

And SpaceX confirmed second stage engine cutoff and an on-target orbit insertion.

Deployment of 53 Starlink satellites confirmed – completing SpaceX’s sixth mission this month!

Only 6?  Seems there is room for 1 or 2 more, ASDS pending.

Just joking, 6 flights per month is amazing.

Smooth mission today, congrats.
Starship, Vulcan and Ariane 6 have all reached orbit.  New Glenn, well we are waiting!

Terrific photo!
What's the focal length should be to get this shot?

Starlink 4-25: I don't believe SpaceX clarified this during the webcast but I suspect the company did not plan to recover the fairing halves from the mission today.

Tracking data shows that support ship Doug did not leave the LZ and left port without fast boats used to recover.

CelesTrak has ephemeris-based SupGP data for 48 of 53 satellites from the launch (2022-086) of #Starlink Group 4-25, launched from Cape Canaveral on Jul 24 at 1338 UTC. STARLINK-4163 & -4146 are currently leading the pack, for pass visibility scheduling.

Here is a comparison of the webcast telemetry from Starlink missions 4-22 and 4-25.

The differences are slight, so I'm still trying to refine the display format for maximum readability. I've made the earlier mission lines thin, and the current mission lines thicker, but I'm open to suggestions for alternatives or improvements.

1. The 4-25 boost phase up to MaxQ was at higher throttle, but spent more time in the throttle bucket, for an overall equal impulse.

2. The 4-25 second stage maintained its acceleration through terminal guidance to SECO, unlike the 4-22 stage, which throttled back slightly at around the 480 second mark. 4-22 therefore had to burn for longer, also for an equal impulse.

Updated  @SpaceX #Falcon9 booster graphic!

With the sixth release in just 17 days, this is how the infographic looks.

Wonder why?
Any idea how many times this set had flown?
Our fairing trackers are an elite bunch.
