1:00:12 · [Music] 1:00:26 · [Music] 1:00:49 · and a good lift off of the Falcon 9 rocket so far 1:00:58 · little more than a minute into flight the Falcon 9 now traveling faster than the speed of sound approaching Max 1:01:09 · Q Max Q represents the point of greatest a dynamic pressure on the vehicle did 1:01:14 · hear that call for Max Q we're coming up on a few events now in 1:01:22 · Fairly rapid succession 1:01:27 · we'll see first stage main ENT cut off or Mo at about t plus 2 minutes and 26 1:01:33 · seconds that'll be followed seconds later by stage separation about 6 seconds after that by the ignition of 1:01:40 · the Merlin vacuum engine and then the payload fairings will separate about 3 minutes and 17 seconds into flight 1:02:10 · you can see actually a nice shadow on the cloud just beneath the falcon9 1:02:15 · rocket the ascent 1:02:23 · plume nice little visual tip there to this 1:02:31 · launch main engine cut off stage separation 1:02:39 · confirmed and recognition all good call outs from 1:02:47 · SpaceX good sequence there Merlin fact he mentioned coming to life and you can 1:02:53 · see that first stage booster heading back towards 1:03:09 · Earth coming up on fairing separation here momentarily great views of both stages in Flight right now you can see 1:03:15 · the first stage on the left side of your screen now in a coast phase and the second stage on the right side of your 1:03:21 · screen burning towards orbit 1:03:30 · and there we go great news just saw those two fairing halves separate our payload Gat N2 is now exposed to the 1:03:37 · vacuum of space heading now t+ 3 minutes 58 seconds and 1:03:45 · counting in real time 350 on the SpaceX feed good Ascent so far of this Mission 1:03:52 · some nice views of the Gat N2 1:04:00 · satellite at this point the next Milestone that's coming up is the first stage entry burn which will come up at 1:04:07 · about t plus 6 minutes and 13 1:04:17 · seconds first stage booster appears to have reached its apy here at about 122 1:04:23 · kilometers in altitude 1:04:32 · once the entry burn Begins the falcon9 first stage will start to slow 1:04:38 · dramatically you'll see the speedometer plummet quite 1:04:52 · rapidly SpaceX uses uh Trio of its Merlin engines on the Falcon 9 first 1:04:58 · stage booster to conduct the entry burn coming up in just about a minute at this 1:05:24 · point it's good view use from the inner stage there on the left hand side of 1:05:30 · your screen good flight of the second stage so far as well 1:06:03 · coming up on the entry burn 1:06:16 · here heard the call for stage one entry burn as well as the safing of the FTS 1:06:24 · the flight termination system now no longer needed at this stage in 1:06:34 · Flight with this burn lasting roughly 20 seconds or so 1:06:41 · you can see the speedometer quite quickly dropping here as the entry burn 1:06:46 · has completed Falcon 9 now slowing as well through atmospheric drag 1:07:00 · the periodic bursts that you'll see in between those two Hypersonic grid fins 1:07:05 · are the Colt gas thrusters on the Falcon's first stage help to adjust the 1:07:10 · attitude or the positioning of the Falcon 9 first AG booster as it makes its way down towards the Drone ship just 1:07:17 · read the instructions 1:07:37 · first stage now traveling below the speed of sound now unlike a starling commission 1:07:44 · we'll actually see the first stage Landing burn begin almost in sequence 1:07:51 · with the cut off of the Merlin vacuum engine so they'll happen about a second 1:07:59 · apart call for the landing burn and call for M back 1:08:14 · shutdown nominal orbital insertion stage one leaning L deploy 1:08:26 · stage one Landing confirmed and for a 19th time this first 1:08:32 · stage booster b173 has landed once again 1:08:41 · safely this Landing Mark spacex's 371st booster Landing to date and the 998th 1:08:48 · booster Landing for this particular drone ship just read the 1:08:53 · instructions nice view of of the Gat N2 1:08:58 · satellite as it continues on its way coming up next will be the reignition of 1:09:05 · the Merlin vacuum engine on the second stage at about t+ 26 minutes 41 seconds 1:09:11 · it'll be a burn of a little bit more than a minute setting up for the deployment of the 1:09:17 · satellite just about 33 minutes and 58 seconds post liftoff 1:09:26 · it's a really nice clear views of this satellite as the sun is hitting it at a really nice 1:09:34 · angle mailing on countdown one I wanted to say a special word for Michael Taylor 1:09:40 · as this will be his final mission he has been at the Forefront of space flight for the United States for several 1:09:47 · decades we would not be where we are today where in United States Space Program history without him and we'd not 1:09:54 · be where we are today at SpaceX without Mike Taylor so from all of us at SpaceX 1:09:59 · Mike We Salute You we thank you and we look forward to your future 1:10:06 · Journeys great words there from our LD and congrats on an amazing career Mike 1:10:18 · Taylor some good Awards there to their SpaceX colleague amid this ongoing flight which 1:10:26 · is about a third of the way through now post 1:10:41 · liftoff is a Next Generation communication satellite owned by nsil 1:10:46 · weighing 4,700 kg built by is for meeting the 1:10:52 · high throughput communication requirements it's operating in K Band uh 1:10:58 · providing almost 48 gabes per second throughput uh this spacecraft is after 1:11:05 · the launch is going to be positioned at 68° east longitude uh providing 1:11:10 · Broadband services and inflight connectivity primarily on the Indian region there are going to be uh about 32 1:11:18 · sport beams uh covering India Mainland and islands of this region and primarily 1:11:24 · this is designed to also to enhance the capacity by providing eight narrow sport beams over the northeastern region of 1:11:31 · India which requires this support for uh essential communication requirements the whole spacecraft is 1:11:38 · designed using the isos well proven i6k bus with a 6.2 Kow power generation 1:11:46 · operating in 70 volts bus voltage and uh the propell system is a 1:11:51 · bipropellant system for Ortiz and its station keep keeping and we are expecting that it's uh precise launching 1:11:59 · we will have an orbital life of almost 14 years while building the space card we 1:12:05 · used the support of Indian Industries who built us with the lot of subsystems including structures and Hardwares meant 1:12:13 · for the satellites and also the Bots and uh is centers contributed in various 1:12:18 · ways to build the satellite finally uh I'm really happy that the satellite is now ready for launch and uh uh will 1:12:26 · reach its destined orbit meantime in the ground to asasa satl is in the required 1:12:32 · sport we are ready with the ground infrastructure to provide the network of communication very very fast as soon as 1:12:38 · it is made declared operational hoping to see the launch uh go really fine and 1:12:45 · all the very best to the team 1:12:59 · and with some good words from the Indian space research organization leadership 1:13:05 · we are now in the aformentioned coast phase you can see the Telemetry of the 1:13:10 · second stage now cruising over the heart of the Atlantic Ocean making its way 1:13:16 · towards the western coast of the continent of Africa currently t+ 13 minutes 27 1:13:25 · seconds and counting from the SpaceX feed which is where we'll be getting our visuals from here on 1:13:31 · out again the next Milestone that we're looking for is coming up in about 13 or 1:13:37 · roughly 12ish minutes from now when the second stage engine the Merlin vacuum 1:13:43 · engine will reignite for about a 65 second 1:13:48 · burn positioning the satellite to be deployed at about t plus 33 minutes and 1:13:54 · 58 seconds 1:14:22 · as we continue to track the progress of that second stage on its way towards spacecraft deployment do want to thank a 1:14:29 · few more folks for your support in our live launch coverage today the third and less than 24 hours 1:14:36 · it's been a blistering Pace here thanks to uh jabel Zimmerman apologies if I 1:14:45 · mispronounced your name there but appreciate the $10 Super Chat and the kind of wordss saying thanks for the coverage appreciate you jelle 1:14:55 · Trinity AKA mommy mama t one of our wonderful channel members also with a $10 Super Chat saying thank you to the 1:15:01 · awesome mods I agree we have I would argue the best moderators in the game 1:15:06 · another Channel member Mitchell Wilbur with a very generous $20 Super Chat thank you Mitchell good to see this 1:15:12 · afternoon says good job all involved appreciate that support Patty 1:15:17 · chel $5 Super Chat good to see you again Patty who says awesomeness thank you 1:15:23 · space flight now thank you mods and live chat peeps I was a great time thank 1:15:29 · you and appreciate spikes as well with a 5B Super Chat as 1:15:41 · well I see our moderator Mark Otto has also joined 1:15:46 · us helping us out here in the live chat appreciate you mark popping in here and 1:15:52 · of course as we're getting ready for the deployment here between now and flight 6 1:15:58 · we do have a mission preview up on the channel here on YouTube so you can go ahead and take a look at what we are 1:16:05 · anticipating what SpaceX is planning for flight 6 not only just talking about the 1:16:12 · mission from our understanding of it but we also had the opportunity to speak oneon-one with the member of NASA's 1:16:20 · astronaut office NASA astronaut Randy bresnik who helps oversee some of the 1:16:26 · testing and checkouts and offers feedback on all of the human involved 1:16:32 · parts of the Artemis architecture so we had a great conversation with him last week part of 1:16:39 · that is embedded within the video currently up on the channel we're working on getting that full 1:16:44 · conversation up on the channel a daily later today so you can have that ahead of launch as well so be 1:16:52 · looking forward to that and again you can watch our Mission preview right 1:16:58 · now whenever you want to get a little bit of inspiration on what's ahead not 1:17:03 · only for flight six but for starship's role as the human Landing system for the 1:17:10 · emis 1:17:23 · program 1:17:53 · e 1:18:23 · e 1:18:53 · e e 1:19:42 · now currently t+ 19 minutes 58 seconds in 1:19:49 · counting so far the Flight of the second stage of the falcon rocket continues on 1:19:56 · well with this 1:20:02 · Mission at present the upper stage is about to pass over the coast of 1:20:10 · Sagal continuing on with the mission 1:20:23 · here e 1:20:55 · as we are awaiting the deployment of the Gat N2 satellite want to go ahead and 1:21:01 · take a look back now at Star base in southern Texas SpaceX completed a fueling test of 1:21:10 · its Starship Rocket yesterday and is working towards the 1:21:16 · launch of this vehicle on flight Six coming up tomorrow in the late afternoon uh 400 PM 1:21:23 · Central Time liftoff 500 p.m. Eastern 2200 1:21:32 · UTC the reason they're looking at a later launch than the previous flights 1:21:38 · is so they can get a daylight splash down of the ship upper stage in the 1:21:43 · waters of the Indian 1:21:49 · Ocean reportedly there have been some Marine vessels that have departed 1:21:56 · from the coast of Australia to deploy some buoys out in the water to capture 1:22:02 · video of the entry similar to the ones that we saw 1:22:07 · used during flight five so presumably those will also be 1:22:13 · equipped with spacex's starlink satellite internet capabilities and we'll get some good live views of ship 1:22:19 · upper stage as it makes its way down towards a softwater splash down if all 1:22:25 · goes well with this 1:22:53 · mission e 1:23:48 · now tus 26 minutes 41 seconds in counting 1:23:55 · excuse me 23 minutes uh or now 24 minutes and Counting looking at the next 1:24:00 · fueling Milestone that I was going to 1:24:06 · relay so I to put that in the the right order we're about 24 minutes 15 seconds 1:24:13 · and counting into the mission just about 2ish minutes away 1:24:20 · from the start of that second stage engine burn for a second time 1:24:29 · we've got a visual now of the upper stage looks like it's peeking into an 1:24:36 · orbital sunset or an orbital Sunrise a little hard to 1:24:53 · tell e 1:25:38 · first space six the recovery vessel Bob was on Deck to scoop up the fairing 1:25:44 · halves one half flying for a first time the other half flying for a fifth time 1:25:54 · we're now about 30 40 seconds on the SpaceX feed away from the ignition of 1:26:02 · the Merlin vacuum engine 1:26:10 · here take a moment to briefly share a launch photo from our photographer Michael Kane of the liftoff of this 1:26:17 · falcon9 rocket beginning its Journey here now just about 26 minutes ago 1:26:26 · coming up on roughly 10 seconds away from the ignition of that Merlin vacuum engion let's go ahead and listen in for 1:26:33 · the call 1:26:41 · out and V 1:26:48 · ignition good ignition of that Merlin vacuum engine 1:26:57 · with this burn they will accelerate into the geostationary transfer orbit into 1:27:02 · which the Gat N2 satellite will be 1:27:08 · deployed this burn lasting a little more than a minute in 1:27:23 · total e 1:27:59 · call for the shutdown of the Merlin vacuum engine 1:28:21 · here nice view of the satellite here with a good burn for a second time of 1:28:27 · that Merlin vacuum engine the upper stage will Coast for 1:28:35 · just a few minutes here before the deployment of the satellite coming up at about t plus 33 minutes and 58 seconds 1:29:09 · taking a look at our live chat here uh one of the folks in the chat Chris Cotter asking when we were showing those 1:29:16 · views of star base asking if that was an open Highway running past 1:29:21 · Starship he says I've seen people take really close pictures and yes in fact 1:29:26 · State Road 4 which is a road that extends from Brownsville out to boa 1:29:32 · Chica Beach is a publicly accessible road so as you can see those cars going 1:29:37 · to and from some of them will be SpaceX employees but especially around the time 1:29:43 · when we're just about a day ahead of launch things get really busy down here 1:29:48 · and you have a lot of folks from not only the Rio Grand Valley Community 1:29:54 · coming down to check out the rocket fully stacked but also a lot of 1:30:00 · journalists uh hobbyists space enthusiasts fols from various parts of 1:30:05 · the country and the world come down to see this rocket one of the closest places in the world where you can see an 1:30:13 · actual piece of flight Hardware without any type of special security clearance 1:31:22 · e e 1:32:01 · now t+ 32 minutes 6 seconds and counting from the SpaceX 1:32:10 · feed we're coming up on the final couple of minutes prior to the deployment of 1:32:17 · the Gat N2 1:32:22 · satellite e 1:32:55 · now less than a minute to satellite 1:33:03 · deployment at an altitude now for the second stage of 730 M or 1:33:10 · kilometers upper stage of the falcon9 rocket now well above the orbiting altitude of the 1:33:17 · International Space Station which orbits at about 400 km above sea level 1:33:37 · as we're approaching Halo deployment let's go ahead and listen 1:33:43 · into that final call out 1:34:02 · Gat N2 payload deploy confirmed and a good deployment of GAD 1:34:10 · and2 1:34:48 · with a good deployment of the satellite we'll turn to our mission stats they currently stand in just a moment we're 1:34:54 · just letting the final views of that play out as you can see 1:35:00 · the strong back there at space launch complex 40 has also been brought into 1:35:05 · the upright position as is PR usual here 1:35:11 · part of spacex's process and turning around this pad as quickly as possible 1:35:16 · for future launches 1:35:26 · with a good liftoff and landing of the first stage booster a good deployment of 1:35:31 · the Gat N2 satellite going to go ahead and close things out here with a look at the mission stats as they currently 1:35:38 · stand briefly want to thank a couple more folks for their support before we get there though thanks to Paul camish 1:35:44 · with a 5 pound Super Chat appreciate that Paul saying just want to say congratulations and to Lillian Manis 1:35:52 · with a $5 Super Chat as well it's a little bit of support there thank you Lillian really appreciate 1:36:02 · that and let's go ahead and put a pin in this with a look at the mission stats as 1:36:08 · they currently stand this was the 19th flight of this particular First St booster 1:36:15 · actually a little bit of a typo there it's 1073 not 1076 this was the 39 8 Falcon 9 launch 1:36:25 · to date the 113th Falcon 9 launch of 2024 the 343rd Falcon booster reflight 1:36:33 · or the launch of a booster that has flown at least once this is spacex's 1:36:38 · 115th orbital launch of the year including two Falcon heavy launches this was the 127th orbital 1:36:45 · launch within the last 365 days the 217th orbital launch from pad 40 and the 1:36:54 · 272nd overall orbital launch from this pad as 1:37:01 · well here's a look at a graphical representation of the Falcon family of rockets from year to year as we sit at5 1:37:10 · so far with the Falcon 9 Falcon heavy joined together moving on to some recovery stats this was the 998th 1:37:16 · booster landing on the Drone ship just read the instructions the 292nd drone 1:37:22 · ship landing and the 3 371st overall SpaceX booster Landing to date finally 1:37:27 · with some Global orbital stats this was the 81st orbital launch from Florida this year the 122nd orbital launch from 1:37:36 · us soil the 133rd orbital launch from us rocket company and the 217th orbital 1:37:43 · launch attempt from around the world six orbital maps on the year so far here's 1:37:49 · where the pie chart currently stands with the US continuing to hold 61 % of the pi China 1:37:56 · 26 and Russia with 6% themselves and that'll go ahead and do 1:38:03 · it for us three Falcon 9 flights less than 24 hours and now my friends our 1:38:10 · attention from a live launch coverage standpoint pivots from here in Florida 1:38:15 · and from California to down in Texas where spacex's Starship rocket is 1:38:22 · preparing to lift off as soon as 400 p.m. central 5:00 p.m. Eastern 2200 UTC 1:38:29 · tomorrow afternoon we'll of course have robust 1:38:36 · live launch coverage leading up to that again you could see a mission preview right now on the YouTube channel look 1:38:43 · for the live stream to join live as well if you haven't already be sure to subscribe to space flight now turn on 1:38:48 · notifications that way you'll be alerted when we do start our live launch coverage 1:38:54 · and we look forward to seeing you back here then as we join with our friends at lab Padre to bring you
