FL/AL/MS/LA/TX - GULF OF MEXICO - Hazardous Space Operations - UPDATEOn November 15, 2023, between 5:25 a.m. and 11:10 a.m., rocket launching operations are scheduled to take place near Boca Chica Beach, Texas. Back-up launch dates and times include each day following November 15, 2023, between 5:25 a.m. and 11:10 a.m., until conditions permit the launch. Mariners operating offshore in waters east of Brownsville, Texas, are advised of the scheduled rocket launching activities and associated hazardous areas which may impact navigation interests. Navigational hazards from rocket launching activity may include, free falling debris and/or descending vehicles or vehicle components, under various means of control. Mariners should avoid all waters within rocket flight trajectories originating from launch sites in the vicinity of Boca Chica and Brownsville, Texas. Rocket launching operations high risk areas will be bound by the following approximate positions:25-51-00.0N 096-46-00.0W,25-48-00.0N 096-14-00.0W,25-40-00.0N 095-03-00.0W,25-21-00.0N 093-15-00.0W,25-26-00.0N 092-48-00.0W,25-58-00.0N 092-47-00.0W,26-04-00.0N 093-18-00.0W,26-01-00.0N 094-13-00.0W,26-00-00.0N 094-48-00.0W,26-03-00.0N 095-43-00.0W,26-06-00.0N 096-45-00.0W,26-07-00.0N 096-57-00.0W,26-03-00.0N 097-07-00.0W,26-02-00.0N 097-12-00.0W,25-57-00.0N 097-12-00.0W,25-52-00.0N 097-01-00.0W and25-51-00.0N 096-46-00.0W.Rocket launching potential debris areas will be bound by the following approximate positions:22-53-00.0N 076-48-00.0W,22-50-00.0N 076-49-00.0W,23-49-00.0N 081-17-00.0W,23-44-00.0N 081-30-00.0W,24-20-00.0N 084-58-00.0W,24-57-00.0N 090-10-00.0W,24-43-00.0N 090-30-00.0W,24-47-00.0N 092-27-00.0W,24-45-00.0N 093-47-00.0W,24-28-00.0N 094-45-00.0W,24-29-00.0N 095-03-00.0W,25-08-00.0N 094-48-00.0W,25-18-00.0N 096-20-00.0W,25-26-00.0N 096-38-00.0W,25-59-00.0N 097-11-00.0W,26-02-00.0N 097-11-00.0W,26-03-00.0N 097-10-00.0W,26-06-00.0N 097-01-00.0W,26-32-00.0N 096-23-00.0W,26-42-00.0N 095-53-00.0W,26-41-00.0N 091-31-00.0W,25-49-00.0N 089-50-00.0W,24-53-00.0N 084-28-00.0W and24-03-00.0N 081-04-00.0W.Detailed information on launches and associated hazards will be available on the day of launch on VHF-FM Channel 22A. Specific scheduled information and times can be found on traffic signs located at the entrance of South Bay and Barracuda’s Cove. Additional information can be found at the following website: https://www.cameroncountytx.gov/spacex/. Attached as an enclosure to this LNM is a graphic of the high risk and debris areas associated with the upcoming rocket launch.
Here are the NGA notices in normal text:
Per the USCG District 8G weekly Local Notice to Mariners that came out earlier today, the launch period starts on November 15.
For those curious: Installation of the FTS charges requires a launch license. If they're taking the explosives right now, it's probably gonna show up today. Labels on the back of the box confirm that they indeed are the explosive charges, as depicted by the 1.1D class label.
Is this the FTS Explosives team? #SpaceX #Starbase #Starship #Superheavy
Flight Termination System (FTS) work is taking place today. Obviously won't be "pulling any pins" until just before restack near launch day, but it is another good sign they are staging for next week (NET 15th).nsf.live/starbase
Regarding ongoing speculation about a potential launch license: NSF reached out to FWS and FAA for updates on the progress of the Starship license. No updates as of this morning.
Booster 9 Flight Termination System (FTS) install - the explosives that will destroy the vehicle in case of anomaly.An improved system from Booster 7 after its FTS trigger resulted in a "It's just a flesh wound!" reaction during the first test flight.nsf.live/starbase
And Ship FTS work too!
Ahead of Flight 2, Jack Beyer (@thejackbeyer) has a detailed guide to Starship's pre-fueling activities, the pre-launch sequence, and the propellant load nuances. Plus, an overview of the trajectory timelines for Booster 9 and Ship 25.youtube.com/watch?v=vpcoik…🤵 Hosted by Jack Beyer (@thejackbeyer)🖋️ Written by Alejandro Alcantarilla Romera (@alexphysics13)🎥 Video from Michael Baylor, Jack Beyer, Sean Doherty, Jay DeShelter, John Galloway, Starbase Live, SpaceX, NASA.✂️ Edited by Ryan Caton (@DPodDolphinPro).
Both boxes now have explosive installed...NOT armed...
and they're done!

Booster 9 and Ship 25 had their FTS charges (detonators?) installed today. Now we wait for the FWS and the FAA. @NASASpaceflight
The LR11000 crane is now in now laid down ahead of launch. Work on the FTS continues, and a restack will follow. nsf.live/starbaseCurrently, there is no official public confirmation of a launch license at this stage, but SpaceX is fully acting like they've at least got a nod and a wink from FAA officials.
And that work is continuing:nsf.live/starbase
