Есть запуск МД второй ступени!

[testest]

Давно так не переживал. Все-таки отработала новая ступень.

[che wi]

[azeast]

8 минут полёта...

[instml]

First stage reignition!!

[Salo]

Выключение МД.

[testest]

Сказали, есть включение первой ступени? Или мне показалось?

[Salo]

Видно как дуют Драко.

Всё так, она ж многоразовая  

[che wi]

Не показалось ))
Будет контролируемый бултых в Тихий О.

Успех!

1609 GMT (12:09 p.m. EDT; 9:09 a.m. PDT)
Second stage shutdown confirmed!

1608 GMT (12:08 p.m. EDT; 9:08 a.m. PDT)
T+plus 8 minutes. SpaceX says the first stage engines are reigniting right now to guide the spent rocket to a controlled splashdown in the Pacific Ocean.

About one minute until the second stage Merlin engine is supposed to shut down as the vehicle reaches orbit. The rocket is aiming for an orbit with a low point of about 186 miles, a high point of 932 miles, and an inclination of 80 degrees.

1607 GMT (12:07 p.m. EDT; 9:07 a.m. PDT)
T+plus 7 minutes, 20 seconds. The vehicle remains in a nominal trajectory. Altitude now is 310 kilometers.

1605 GMT (12:05 p.m. EDT; 9:05 a.m. PDT)
T+plus 5 minutes, 20 seconds. Everything reported to be going well with this second stage engine firing. The Merlin vacuum engine uses an ultra-thin niobium nozzle extension for greater efficiency in the upper atmosphere.

Downrange distance is 383 kilometers south of Vandenberg.

1604 GMT (12:04 p.m. EDT; 9:04 a.m. PDT)
T+plus 4 minutes. Flying for the first time, the SpaceX-built payload fairing has separated as planned.

1603 GMT (12:03 p.m. EDT; 9:03 a.m. PDT)
T+plus 3 minutes, 20 seconds. The Falcon 9 first stage engines have cut off, the stages have separated, and the rocket's second stage Merlin vacuum engine has ignited for its approximately six-minute firing to reach orbital velocity.

1602 GMT (12:02 p.m. EDT; 9:02 a.m. PDT)
T+plus 2 minutes. Now soaring at an altitude of more than 20 miles, the Falcon 9 rocket's first stage will shut down and jettison in about one minute. Two engines will be turned off first, followed a few moments later by the remaining seven engines.

1601 GMT (12:01 p.m. EDT; 9:01 a.m. PDT)
T+plus 1 minute. The Falcon 9 rocket is approaching the speed of sound and the phase of maximum aerodynamic pressure.

1600 GMT (12:00 p.m. EDT; 9:00 a.m. PDT)
LIFTOFF of SpaceX's next-generation Falcon 9 rocket, proving new designs for higher performance and improved efficiency while delivering Canada's Cassiope space weather research satellite to orbit

Отделение?

[Salo]

Есть выход на орбиту, судя по радостной реакции.

[instml]

Они уже радостные, про отделение никто не говорил

1614 GMT (12:14 p.m. EDT; 9:14 a.m. PDT)
John Insprucker, the Falcon 9 product manager at SpaceX, says the flight looked great. The rocket flew down the middle of the ground track and appeared to reach the planned orbit, he said.

We're standing by for word on separation of the mission's six passengers and the outcome of the first stage re-entry and splashdown experiment.

1611 GMT (12:11 p.m. EDT; 9:11 a.m. PDT)
 The Falcon 9 second stage has flown over the horizon from Vandenberg Air Force Base, putting the rocket in a planned loss of signal period while the upper stage begins maneuvers to release its six satellites passengers, beginning with the Cassiope satellite at T+plus 14 minutes, 15 seconds.

Как там управляемый спуск?
