STARLINK MISSION

On Thursday, September 3 at 8:46 a.m. EDT, 12:46 UTC, Falcon 9 successfully lifted off with the twelfth Starlink mission, carrying 60 Starlink satellites to orbit. Falcon 9 lifted off from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Falcon 9's first stage previously supported launch of the GPS III Space Vehicle 03 mission in June 2020. Following stage separation, SpaceX will land Falcon 9's first stage on the "Of Course I Still Love You" droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

The Starlink satellites deployed approximately 15 minutes after liftoff.

По оценке компании, размещение на орбите в общей сложности 11 тыс. спутников и ввод их в эксплуатацию обойдутся в $10 млрд. ...

т.е. производство и запуск одного спутника обходится в $1 млн?

Tracking shows that Falcon 9 and Of Course I Still Love You droneship are now underway from the LZ and heading towards Port Canaveral!

Oh, hey! The Sisters are on their way back with scooped fairings. It appears they left around 3:30 ET and are happily speeding along.

Так и не сообщили - поймали створки, или из воды выловили ?

Так и не сообщили - поймали створки, или из воды выловили ?

раз не сообщили, думаю, это значит не поймали
Дурь это все таки - обтекатели сачком ловить.
Странно, что от этой дури Маск никак не откажется, уж сколько лет прошло.

Мало что дурь, так еще и нетехнологичная и некрасивая дурь. Прижимистый Маск, все ему мало!)

One of the fairing catchers can just barely be seen on the horizon now.  It looks like the fairing is still being held in the scoop net, this usually means it is damaged. #SpaceXFleet #SpaceX

Ms. Tree's fairing half is definitely broken. #SpaceXFleet #SpaceX

I can't tell for sure because I'm at a bad angle, but I think they're using tree's scoop net to put the fairing remains on the dock.

GO Ms. Tree's fairing half from the 12th Starlink mission is in several pieces. #SpaceXFleet

A few more close ups of GO Ms. Tree's fairing half from the 12th Starlink mission. Looks like Ms. Chief recovered much flatter pieces or they are below the deck line. Not much to see on its deck from here. #SpaceXFleet

Of Course I Still Love You droneship and Falcon 9 B1060.2 are progressing well and currently tracking towards an arrival just after dawn on Sunday morning.

There's also a remote possibility of arrival on Saturday evening just before dusk. More to follow throughout tomorrow!

 Ken Kremer @ken_kremer 4 ч. назад

these were new fairings as far as we know. will be posting more fairing pics later today


 Julia @julia_bergeron 3 ч. назад

The thing about broken fairings is we usually don't hear what caused the mission to fail. Looking at the NOAA bouy data for 41002 it seems there could have been some instability with winds near the LZ. But, it could have simply been hardware failure. 1/2 #SpaceXFleet

Bouy 41001 to the northeast shows a similar pattern but without the spike ahead of launch. Without weather balloon data we don't know upper level wind conditions. They did collect the remains so I'm sure SpaceX will learn from the loss regardless of the cause.
