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.
Deployment of @OneWeb satellites complete
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
We have lift off in Florida!Thanks to our colleagues at @SpaceX for a successful launch. Follow us for more updates throughout the rest of the mission.#OneWebLaunch16 🚀
👋 We say goodbye to the last of our forty satellites as it successfully separates.Our team will now continue to work through the morning to confirm contact with all our spacecraft 🛰️📷: @SpaceX#OneWebLaunch16 🚀
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!Read about the mission: nasaspaceflight.com/2023/01/oneweb…
All @OneWeb launch 16 satellites separated successfully! 21 satellites successfully contacted on the first pass 💪💪 waiting for the next passes for the balance … @SpaceX
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.
Interaction of boostback burn and second stage!
