Первое включение 2-й ступени - ок

[Раиль]

Похоже мимо села

[Старый]

Ну что с посадкой?

[Раиль]

огонь слева от баржи и картинка пропала

с чего вы взяли

Ну ненадежная связь с баржей, 600 км же!

[Старый]

Чего они про спейскрафт лопочут а про лэндинг - нифига?

[386DX]

На перерыв ушли. Пока непонятно, что с первой ступенью...

Огонь двигателя несколько в стороне появился, не сверху. За кадр до пропадания связи.

 This is all that anyone really could see from drone barge #SES9

[Искандер]

Если в баржу не попали - плохо, посадку на землю могут запретить.

100% ясно, что до баржи она дотянула, а в рамках этого пуска это уже достижение.

01:49
T+plus 15 minutes. The Falcon 9 rocket and SES 9 are currently flying over the Atlantic Ocean.

01:47

T+plus 11 minutes. The first phase of tonight's launch appears to have gone according to plan. SpaceX reports the upper stage and SES 9 are on the right trajectory following liftoff, as the rocket continues coasting toward the point where the Merlin vacuum engine will reignite for its second burn.

01:47
The outcome of the first stage's landing attempt is unclear. A bright light, presumably from the rocket's engine exhaust, illuminated the landing ship before the video feed from the vessel froze.

01:44  SECO
T+plus 9 minutes, 15 seconds. SECO 1. The Falcon 9's second stage engine has shut down after injecting the SES 9 satellite into a preliminary parking orbit. The Merlin vacuum engine is due to restart at T+plus 27 minutes, 7 seconds, to put the SES 9 spacecraft into a geostationary transfer orbit.

01:43
T+plus 8 minutes. The vehicle remains in a nominal trajectory. The terminal guidance phase of the launch will start soon in the final minute of the second stage burn.

01:42
T+plus 7 minutes. The kerosene-fueled Merlin 1D upper stage engine generates about 210,000 pounds of thrust in vacuum. Altitude is now 167 km.

01:42
The first stage has completed its re-entry burn to aim for a landing on a recovery ship position 400 miles east of Cape Canaveral.

01:41
T+plus 5 minutes. 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.

01:38
T+plus 4 minutes. The Falcon 9's payload fairing has been jettisoned.

01:38
T+plus 3 minutes. 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.
Cold gas nitrogen thrusters are now firing to re-orient the 156-foot-tall first stage booster in the correct attitude for its engine burns to target a landing on SpaceX's drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean.

01:36
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 40 seconds.
And chilldown of the second stage's vacuum-rated Merlin 1D engine has started in preparation for its ignition.

01:35
First stage propulsion reported to be nominal.

01:34  LIFTOFF
LIFTOFF of the Falcon 9, launching a 5.8-ton multi-mission communications satellite for SES.

01:34
T-minus 60 seconds. In the final minute of the countdown, the flight computer will command checks of the first stage Merlin engine steering system and the Falcon 9 propellant tanks will be pressurized for flight. Thousands of gallons of water from the 53 water nozzles on ground facility's Niagara system will also be dumped onto the launch pad deck to suppress the sound and acoustics of liftoff.
The command to start the ignition sequence for the first stage will be issued at T-minus 3 seconds, triggering the Merlin engines' ignitor moments before the powerplants actually ramp up to full power.

01:33
T-minus 90 seconds and counting. The SpaceX launch director and the Air Force Eastern Range have given their final approvals for liftoff of the Falcon 9 rocket at 6:35 p.m. EST (2335 GMT).

01:32
T-minus 2 minutes and counting. The rocket's Merlin 1D engines have been chilled down for ignition.

01:32
T-minus 2 minutes, 30 seconds. The strongback is being retracted to launch position.

01:31
T-minus 3 minutes and counting. The rocket's destruct system is on internal power and being armed, and liquid oxygen topping is being terminated. A steering check on the upper stage engine is also complete.

01:29
T-minus 5 minutes and counting. The Falcon 9 rocket is confirmed on internal power.

01:28
T-minus 6 minutes and counting. The Falcon 9 rocket should now be operating on internal power.
The strongback umbilical tower will soon be lowered a few degrees to clear the rocket for launch. The procedure begins with opening of cradles gripping the rocket at attach points, then hydraulics lower the tower into launch position.

01:28
T-minus 6 minutes, 30 seconds. The Falcon 9's heaters are being deactivated, and the rocket will be transitioned to internal power in a few seconds.

01:27
T-minus 7 minutes and counting. Within the next minute, the Falcon 9's flight computer will be commanded to its alignment state. The Merlin engine pumps are continuing to chill down.

01:27
T-minus 8 minutes and counting. Good chilldown continues on the first stage engines, and closeouts of the upper stage's gaseous nitrogen attitude control system are underway.

01:25
T-minus 9 minutes, 30 seconds. Prevalves leading to the Falcon 9's Merlin 1D first stage engines are opening, permitting super-cold liquid oxygen to flow into the engines to condition the turbopumps for ignition.

01:25
T-minus 10 minutes and counting. The terminal countdown autosequence has started. Any hold after this point will result in an automatic abort and recycle.

01:24  Countdown proceeding
The countdown is proceeding as planned past the T-minus 10 minute, 30 second hold point. No issues reported.

01:22
The SES 9 spacecraft is reported on internal power at this point in the countdown.

01:21
There is a pause point available in the countdown at T-minus 10 minutes, 30 seconds. But the SpaceX team so far has reported no problems in the countdown.

01:18  T-minus 17 minutes
T-minus 17 minutes and counting. The Falcon 9 rocket stands 229 feet tall and measures 12 feet in diameter. At liftoff, its nine Merlin 1D first stage engines will generate about 1.5 million pounds of thrust.
Fully fueled for launch, the Falcon 9 contains more than a million pounds of kerosene and liquid oxygen propellants.

01:12  Stage 2 fueling complete
The second stage of the Falcon 9 rocket has been fueled with its supply of RP-1 fuel and liquid oxygen.

01:09  Launch statistics
T-minus 25 minutes and counting. Here are some statistics on today's flight:

скорее на пару десятков метров.
