Successful first SpaceX launch in 2023

t minus 15, 10, up to 654321. Girls downrange pitching stage 1 chamber pressure is only 40 seconds from the start of flight. Pass the Falcon Nine, the towers of Space Launch Complex 40, and head into orbit. We are now in the first phase of preparation for throttling the 1d engine towards the point of maximum Q. This is the point at which the maximum aerodynamic pressure becomes supersonic. Maximum aerodynamic pressure is the point of maximum stress on the vehicle during a climb. That’s cute. We are most stressed by oncoming vehicles. Several events are in succession. The first of them is the main engine cutoff or Miko. Shut down the 9 merlin 1D engines and prepare for stage separation. The stage separation is where the pusher separates the first and second stages. A second engine start then takes place. So, in preparation for starting the Merlin vacuum engine in the second stage, we started cooling with the turbopump. While the second stage engine is burning. The first stage performs a *** flip operation, then *** a boost back burn. That boost backburn. Ignite her three of the Merlin 1d engines to take the first stage back to land. Because today we are trying to land on this first stage. Therefore, these events repeat the shrine maiden stage separation in succession. First stage flip, second stage engine start first shot, and boost back burn. Hey, the stage separation has been confirmed with one shot down. Stage 1 boostback activation. These five events have great shots from the ground. You can see the first stage on the left side of the screen has skyrocketed and the second stage continues to burn. Now this burn in the first stage lasts for about 47 seconds, and in the second stage it continues for ***. Combustion is completed up to a mark of about t plus 8 minutes 20 seconds, which is just after boostback combustion ends. The next major milestone is fairing separation. On the right side of the screen you will see Stage 1 Back Shutdown. Successfully stopped boost back burn. A few pulses from the ground can be seen from the attitude control system. We use nitrogen gas as an attitude control medium to help keep us pointing in the right direction. Here, the right side of the screen has also expanded, so you can see the burst firing in the first stage on the left side of the screen. Fairing separation was seen. You may see a *** view of half of these fairings. In fact you can see it on the right side of the screen, just behind Merlin’s vacuum back to planet Earth. These half fairings When the *** lands on a recovery vessel named Recovery Vessel Bob, attempt to recover both. welcome. About 4.5 minutes into today’s mission, it’s the first phase of Merlin’s two vacuum burns. The first burn continues until about T plus 8 minutes and the 22nd mark. The next major milestone is the first stage, Entry Burn. The 1st stage is on the left side of the screen, currently in a *** view overlooking the main body of the 1st stage, past his two of grid fans back to Earth. Here it performs rush burn to slow down the first stage before hitting the densest part of the Earth’s atmosphere. Without that combustion, the Falcon would only need to use the atmosphere to slow down her Nine, putting a lot of extra stress on the rocket, so firing her three of the Merlin 1 D engines to get the thickest part slows down when colliding with of the earth’s atmosphere. It took off on time from Space Force Station Cape Canaveral at 9:56 AM ET, carrying the Transporter 6 mission in its second stage. Currently, this is SpaceX’s six dedicated small sat rideshare program, with the first mission in 2023 targeting at least three of his dedicated rideshare flights per year to sun-synchronous orbits. He also offers an opportunity to get on track with a sterling commission he starts about once a week. These little sats can go to space aboard the Falcon Nine Falcon Heavy and Starship Vehicles in the not too distant future. You can see that the grid fins are deployed on the first stage. There are four hypersonic grid fins near the top of the stage, and only the grid fins provide steering when in the thick atmosphere. To return to Landing Zone 1, you will actually see Florida’s Space Coast on the left side of your screen. After about 15 seconds the following major events occur: This is the first stage, the entry burn that fires three of the Merlin 1D engines. The second stage FTS focuses on the speed of the first stage. In the bottom left corner of the screen you can see that it drops off dramatically and slows down as the entry burns out. This lasts about 20 seconds or so. Stage 1 entry burn shutdown. As it slowed down and re-entered Earth’s atmosphere, it successfully shut down the Merlin engines. If you are in the Florida area, you may hear a sonic boom. Stage 1 FTS completed successfully. Today, he’s making 15 attempts to retrieve this booster, targeting this land that lands in Landing Zone 1. There is only one more burn. The first stage landing combustion *** ignites the single center Merlin engine. It happens just before touchdown. Stage 1 Trans Sonic is on the right side of the screen. There is a *** ground view of Stage 1. You can see the center engine. Expect to see a soft touchdown before the landing gear deploys or at ***Landing Zone 1. Well, I can still hear it *** Callout of 2nd engine stalled in 2nd stage Stage 1 landing gear deployment, Seiko Stage 1 landing confirmed. That’s why the landing is completed. We also heard that *** was very sick. Oh, and the second engine was cut first. I just heard *** also calling out for a nominal parking trajectory. Now the Falcon has landed his nine. It is the 161st landing of an orbital class rocket. This booster is the 15th.
