Captured here in this 5-minute exposure:

-F9 stage separation
-Stage 2 engine start
-Stage 1 boostback and it’s following trajectory
-Stage 1 entry burn

This was made possible from our unique perspective north of the launch pad during OneWeb 16’s polar trajectory.

Yes, congratulations OneWeb and SpaceX on another perfect mission.

Many thanks to Steven for his usual exemplary launch coverage.

Edit to add: SpaceX was a tad busy today …

SpaceX had four rockets on four pads and two Dragons on orbit today—as CRS-26 Dragon departed the @space_station with Crew-5 Dragon still attached to the orbiting lab, Falcon Heavy rolled out of the hangar, two Falcon 9’s readied for launch, and Ship 24 was stacked onto Booster 7

There's something special about seeing a rocket fly right over your head while also coming back to land! This is the view from 120 miles south of the Cape, right under the launch trajectory. You can also see sep and the entry burn!

Fog on the water, and a fire in the sky tonight over the Cape as #SpaceX's carried #OneWeb satellites into a polar orbit through crystal clear Florida skies.

This was late in the booster burn, moments prior to MECO.
