Weather at ASOG at T-1 minute; wind-blown rain illuminated by barge spotlight.

Answer to why news of successful satellites deployment is delayed; remember this is a launch to the southwest of the Cape, not to the northeast and paralleling the Atlantic coast.

We'll confirm satellite deployment after we regain ground station coverage in ~50 minutes.

Launch time to the second?

One last launch from Cape Canaveral for 2022. SpaceX has launched another batch of Starlink satellites to orbit after a phenomenal year of commercial, human and company spaceflight missions. There is just one more scheduled launch for SpaceX from California on December 30th 🚀

With Santa now safely out of everyone's airspace, SpaceX wastes no time launching more Starlink satellites!

This stacked image from Cocoa Beach Pier includes 1st and 2nd stage flight, as well as the 1st stage entry burn.

For what's worth for today's NSF stream the T0 time on our clock was set for 4:34:05am EST and the liftoff occurred only one second off from the clock so not sure if maybe Kelso did the wrong math or SpaceX further changed the clock compared to what he has.

Starlink 3-4 vs Starlink "5-1": virtually identical
