"Nominal deorbit burn.""Starlink deploy confirmed."
Quote from: gongora on 09/11/2022 03:39 am"Nominal deorbit burn.""Starlink deploy confirmed."That was very strange. Were the Starlinks deployed after the deorbit burn? Also strange that for both BlueWalker 3 and the Starlink satellites, deployment was scheduled a few seconds after LOS. Also, at Malindi AOS there was no immediate confirmation of Starlink deploy and we had to wait until after confirmation of the deorbit burn.The Mission Audio stream has been made private.
The methodology to read telemetry is to start with the AOS and go backwards in time and read off events. The last item to occur is first to be read off.
B1058 to space and back 14 times! The fleet leader sent another batch of Starlink sats and the AST SpaceMobile BlueWalker 3 sat to orbit this evening. #Falcon9 #SpaceX 📸 for @Teslarati
A #SpaceX #Falcon9 rocket launches this evening beyond the Cape Canaveral lighthouse. #space #spacecoast #floridaspace
Great news! #BlueWalker3 successfully reached orbit and our engineers are talking to the spacecraft. Stay tuned for future updates as the mission progresses.
SpaceX successfully launches Starlink 4-2 from Kennedy Space Center’s LC-39A earlier this evening, marking the 14th flight (and safe return) of booster B1058.
Falcon arching to orbit
Falcon 9’s first stage has landed on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship – completing SpaceX’s first 14th flight of a first stage booster
No obvious limit to rocket reflight so far
First Falcon 9 to complete 14 flights to orbit, and SpaceX’s first 5 burn mission

Here is a comparison of the webcast telemetry from the Starlink 4-2 / BlueWalker-3 mission and 4-20 / Sherpa-LTC2.Both missions were rideshare, to similar orbital inclinations, with BlueWalker-3, at some 1.5t being the heaviest rideshare payload so far.The booster profiles were similar, neither of them demonstrating the performance improvements of the recent 4-27 and 4-23 'pure' Starlink missions.However, the 4-2 second stage demonstrated a similar burn time to those 'pure' missions, indicating an increased appetite for pushing the Falcon 9 performance envelope for paying customers.
Liftoff! Falcon 9 launches 34 Starlink satellites and AST SpaceMobile’s BlueWalker 3 satellite at 9:10 p.m. EDT this evening.This launch marked the first 14th flight of a Falcon booster!
Falcon 9 B1058 launches to space for the 14th time, a new record for the Falcon fleet!
CelesTrak has ephemeris-based SupGP data for 33 of 34 satellites from the #Starlink Group 4-2 launch (2022-111) from Cape Canaveral on 2022-09-11 at 01:10:10 UTC: https://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/supplemental/
BlueWalker 3 is comfortably roaming around the globe, thermally stable and communicating with our ground stations! If you want to learn more about what's next, please take a look at this video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=uUBiGseRDw4 🤠🇺🇸📶#5G
