LIVE: SpaceX Starlink Group 8-6 Launch with Direct to Cell Satellites on Falcon 9

[Music] [Music] [Music] good morning and Welcome to our live coverage of starlink group 8-6 Mission from Space Coast that is from Pat space launch complex 40 at Cape canaville space for station in Florida we hope you all are doing fine and excited about the upcoming launch hello my name is dipto Mitra performing the commentary for today's Mission launch before moving on to Mission details firstly on behalf of Astro yand team we express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone for being a part of today's launch we really appreciate you being here big thanks to our amazing YouTube Community for being here as we provide detailed coverage of space launches complete with extensive stats and thorough insights we are super excited bringing you the live coverage of SpaceX 85th overall launch and the 82nd Falcon 9 launch of this year we are waiting for a falcon 9 liftoff at 348 a.m. eastern time from Cape canabal for a Northeast launch for SpaceX starlink Mission the starlink mission 8-6 will launch 21 starlink satellites including 13 with direct to cell capabilities satellites to low earth orbit today's staring Mission marks SpaceX amazing 377th overall launch with the 365th Falcon 9 launch to date this is the 58th dedicated starting mission of the year for SpaceX and prior to today's launch SpaceX has launched 1,267 Starling satellite so far over 57 flights this year and overall 6,9 17 installing satellites to date SpaceX is currently targeting a lift of time of the Falcon 9 from Cape canabal space force station at 3:48 a.m. eastern time 7:48 a.m. UTC which which corresponds to to 12:48 a.m. Pacific Time on wedness day August 20th before moving on would like to welcome one of our moderator here pop tra thanks for tuning in and we hope that you are enjoying your stay at caned Space Center hopefully you are not staying there but around there also just now joining us our one of our another moderator here faired welcome faired hope you are doing fine thanks for tuning in although today we didn't got the launch for the polar is Dawn Mission let's see the dates are yet to be confirmed by SpaceX well glad to know that POA you're there at the spot hopefully we will be getting some images from you and have a good viewing experience we are glad that you went there and you will be having a rocket launch to witness in real and for that you can foro our live stream you can watch it on live with your eyes only yes also Fair made we are also looking forward to those launches let's see today we have two launches hopefully I can cover them and sadly we didn't got the polar is done which was my favorite as of now so let's move on and let's take a look at the payload details for starting group 8-6 Mission this launch marks the 58th dedicated starlink launch for this year a quick fund fact at the Inception the two identical Starling test satellites called microsat 28 a and microsat 2B were launched on 22nd February 2018 upon orbital deployment they were renamed to Tintin a and Tin B so Tintin a and t b are the first Starling satellites to be launched now Starling satellites are built at SpaceX satellite development facility in Redmont Washington and today's launch consist of 21 version 2 mini satellites which includes 13 dedicated Satellites with direct to sell capabilities the version two variant of the starlink is too large to fit inside a falcon9 fairing and is meant to be launched by Starship to address this issue SpaceX modified the original version two blue blueprint into a smaller more compact one and named it version 2 mini SpaceX also indicated they would build satellites of the second generation constellation in two different but technically identical form factors one with the physical structures tailored to launch on Falcon 9 that is version 2 mini and another tailored for the launch on Starships that is version two each Starling satellites is equipped with powerful five Advanced Ku band phased array antennas and three dual band parabolic antennas utilizing k A and E bands to provide increased capacity these antennas utilizes alog together the ku ka and E Band frequencies which allows starlink to provide high bandwidth connectivity that is four times more capacity per satellite than earlier versions each satellite features a dual solar array with a size of 52.5 square m which unfolds to a wingspan of 100 ft also it has a high capacity battery to provide power to the payloads and the the two solar arrays are also Aeron neutral which enable faster on orbit Maneuvers each Starling satellite contains three space laser transponders that is Optical intersatellite links for intercommunications which operates at up to 200 gbps which to together across the conation form a global internet mesh that can connect customers anywhere in the world also enabling the spacecraft to transmit data without ground ground stations providing truly Global coverage each starting version 2 mini satellite weighs nearly 800 kg that is 1,763 3 pounds Starling satellites are equipped with efficient ion hall effect thrusters powered by argon which enable Starling satellites to orbit rise maneuver in space and deorbit at the end of their useful life today's payload will be placed in an orbit with an altitude of 297 km with an inclination of 53.1 16° but this configuration does not apply to every Starling satellite as we know Starling satellites are placed in different configurations based on their group Starling satellite uses custom build navigation sensors named as start tracker that surveys the starts to determine each satellite's location altitude and orientation for best possible Broadband throughput sat styling satellite contains four reaction Wheels providing agile attitude control for the vehicle the HS spare configuration ensures High reliability operation and its aluminium fly whe is fully Demis at the end of life also worth mentioning the starting satellites are equipped with an onboard autonomous collision avoidance system for avoiding collisions with other spacecrafts and space junks autonomously which utilizes the US Department M of Defense debr tracking database well speaking of SpaceX direct to sell stalling satellites direct to sell is a technology developed by stalling team in easy words it's like having a cell phone tower in space this technology allows the cell phone to connect directly to satellites imagine we are in a remote area where there is no cell tower nearby normally we would not get any signal on your phone but with direct to cell our phones can get a signal directly from a starling satellite overhead you don't need to make any any changes to your existing LTE phone or download any special apps it is designed to work with common LTE standards with absolute no changes to Hardware firmware or special apps required whether you are on land Lakes Coastal Waters or even in the year as long as you can see the sky you can get a signal it provides connect activ it in remote regions giving you the peace of mind when you need it the most with the recent inclusion of the South Sudan Madagascar and Sierra Leoni let's have a look at the countries where starlings low latency highe speed internet is now available and as of the current status starlink is delivering its highspeed low latency internet serves to more than 100 countries and territories few months back Starling made its first video call on X using unmodified mobile phones connected to Starling direct to cell satellites earlier we witnessed texture communication via satellites Starling plans to launch the service with TMobile at this year e now let's take a look at the flight record for the poster supporting today's 8-6 Mission the most mature booster among its siblings with tail number 1062 will be supporting today's Mission marking its record breaking 23rd flight today's booster with tail number 10 62 was a record breaker previously and today it sets the stage for another record as it as this time it will be the first time ifle booster launches for its 23rd time today's supporting booster with ta number 1062 has 22 previous flights in its record including missions like GPS 3 space vehicle 4 GPS 3 space vehicle five inspiration 4 on behalf of the Shift 4 payment CEO J Isaac [Music] man who is who will be getting launched as the commander of the Polaris Dawn mission next it supported the AUM mission one for the axm space n set 301 and Egyptian communication satellite one web launch 17 for util set Group which provide Broadband satellite internet services Arab said b a d r 8 a communication satellite for Arab states and 15 staring missions now waiting its record-breaking 23rd flight just minutes away the last mission supported by today's booster was Starling group 10-3 on June 27th of this year it's been 62 days since the last supporting Mission by this booster previously with Starling group 10-3 launch on June 27th from Cape canabal SpaceX achieved the record for the first time a falcon booster that's of today's with ta number 1062 launched for a record breaking 22nd time this same booster previously set a record with its 20 20th and 21st flight for SpaceX so you can say that this booster weight till number 62 is absolutely made for breaking the records to today it will be making a fourth record in the booster Fleet currently booster with tail number 1061 and 62 have the highest number of flights with 22 flights each among the booster Fleet now we have a request for you guys hitting that like button helps YouTube's algorithm catch the drift and brings more space lovers and Rocket Buffs our way excuse me this kind acts of you will help us to build a commun communicative with Community with amazing space Enthusiast like you and also consider subscribing to us we would be totally amazed to have you on board your support means the world to us which inspires us to work more hard to provide life coverages filled with stats and thorough insights let's have a look at the chat here is all our pleasure pop Tria we are really happy for you that you went there to witness this rocket launch hopefully you can witness the Polaris Dawn Mission as well and there is no worries you can change your operator if you want to don't have to stick with t- mobiles maybe they will be launching with other operators as well so you can switch to that and also you can switch to T-Mobile as well and yes of course as I mentioned that this booster is absolutely a record breaker fourth time today it will be creating a record for a booster for its flight so and also yes it do have a biggest history of flights supported by it although right now currently both the poster with tail number 1061 and 62 are having similar number of flight so they have the similar number of missions supported by them but today the booster this booster for today it will be exceeding one more Mission than the booster with tell number 1061 now let's have a look at the bar graphs presenting number of Falcon 9 launches each year before today's launch SpaceX completed 81 successful launches of the Falcon 9 so far this year with the recent Starling 10-5 Mission launch back on August 20th the launch marked the 12th launch since the starlink 9-3 Mission failure now with the recent starlink 10-5 Mission launch they have 33 more launches than half of the total launches made last year with the previous styling 9-1 Mission launch from Vandenburg they equal the number of launches made from the year 2022 now with today's launch of Starling group 8-6 Mission the bar graph shows 82 Falcon 9 launches so far this year which is 21 more than the launches made in 2022 they have already done more than the half as many launches as they did all of last year and it is only being 7 months and 28 days of this year just 14 more launches and SpaceX will be reaching the same number of launches made in last year as SpaceX remains on course to which achieve their ambitious Target of 140 248 launches by this year's end let's go ahead as we progress through the countdown and review the Milestones that lie ahead for us on this Vandenburg flight excuse me this keep canab flight at tus 38 minutes countdown begins at this point when SpaceX launch director gives the go for the start of propellent load if everything looks fine prop load begins at tus 30 minute Mark with the loading of Rocket grade kerosene or the rp1 on board the first and second stages of the Falcon 9 rocket at the same time locks load that is the super Cher liquid oxygen is loading will be loading on board the first stage and then at T minus 16 minutes which will be the next event that we are looking for here that's when the second stage liquid oxygen load begins at tus 7 minutes that's when the chill down of nine Merin engines gets underway it involves flowing a small amount of liquid oxygen through the plumbing and turbo pumps which helps protect the engines from the risk of Thal shock and damages during the startup sequence at about 6 minutes before lift off the first stage kosene tank should be full in a tus 4 and A2 minute the strong back retract sequence begins the process begins with the clamp arms underneath the payload fearings opening up followed by the transporter erector or the strong back reclining about a degree and a half away from the Falcon 9 it remains in that position until lift of at which point it rapidly pulls back to clear the way for the falcon9 Rockets particle a sent just for a quick knowledge you might be knowing that the strong back reining process at Cape canabal and Kennedy Space Center differs from that at Vandenburg here at Cape canabal and Kennedy Space Center we recline the strong back about a degree and a half whereas at Vandenberg we recline it 13° away from the Falcon 9 the strong back positioned alongside the vehicle also referred as a transporter reactor fulfills multiple functions IT Supplies propellants provides air conditioning pressurization gases and electrical power additionally it transports the Falcon 9 to the Launchpad and positions it for the launch here is an image on your screen showing how a strong back Auto transporter erector transports Rockets although on your screen you are watching Falcon heavy being transported but the process is similar for the Falcon 9 add the at T minus 3 minutes Mark the first stage liquid oxygen loading should be complete followed by the second stage liquid oxygen load wrapping up at T minus 2 minutes Mark at that point the Falcon 9 rocket is fully foiled with 1 million pounds of propellant at T minus 1 minute Mark the propin tanks are brought up to flight pressure and in the final 60 seconds of the countdown the control of the flight system that is the launch sequence is handed over from the ground sequencer to the Falcon 99's onboard flight computers if everything looks good at tus 45 seconds Mark the SpaceX launch director will give the final go for Falcon 9 liftoff now at tus 3 seconds the engine ignition sequence start command being issued by the onboard engine controller and finally at t0 we will have lift off if all 9 mlin 1D engines ignite and are healthy flight computers will give the command for the hold down clamps to release the falcon 9 currently targeting a lift of time of the Falcon 9 from Cape canaval at 3:48 a.m. eastern time 7:48 a.m. UTC which corresponds to 12:48 a.m. Pacific Time on wday August 20th referring to PO R from the chat one of our moderator who will be witnessing the launch in real it's good that the weather is good there but yes of course it's a little humid and hot there in Florida as for the weather I am observing although I never went there but anyways even that can be bearded if it it's about a SpaceX launch to be witnessed so enjoy your viewing experience there now let's go ahead and briefly step through the trajectory for today's starlink Mission Falcon 9 leaving the path from space launch complex 40 from Cape canav Space 4 station with the batch of 21 styling Satellites with 13 direct to cell satellites on board for a Northeast trajectory heading into low earth orbit that is to the eighth shell of second generation Starling Mega constellation indicated by that green line on your screen the red line you see indicates where the Faron 9 first stage will land after stage separation just a little lat leaving Florida Space Coast this is going to be a drone ship Landing using autonomous Spaceport drone ship for today it's a short follow of Gravitas drone ship one of the two here at the East Coast which means that the first stage booster with tail number 1062 flying for its record breaking 23rd time will be returning heading out to the Drone ship Landing this will be the 81st successful landing on a shortfall of Gravitas drone ship to date the planned booster recovery is approximately 618 km with estimated fairing recovery approximately 700 km down range and the stage two debris re-entry will be in the south of Australia currently there are three in SpaceX Dron ship Fleet one of the three drone ships here in Florida that is a shortfall of Gravitas will be supporting today's Mission and another is just read the instructions also stationed here in Florida while of course I still love you is stationed in California we expect that addition of a fourth drone ship likely by the end of this year or early next year previously a shortfall of Gravitas drone ship was planned to support the upcoming polar Dawn Mission today but now we don't have any specific date confirmed by SpaceX for the Polaris Dawn Mission launch recently with the Falcon 99's return to flight on the Starling 10-9 Mission launch a new member joined SpaceX recovery vessel Fleet on its inaugural Mission completing fairing recovery SE trials the go Cosmos recovery vessel now speaking of the fairing recovery SpaceX will utilize the recovery vessel Bob to retrieve them from the Atlantic Waters the two halves of the payload fairing will be recovered slightly farther down range approximately 82 km from where the first stage lands on the Drone ship after they will smoothly splash down with the guidance of the parachute SpaceX manufactures the fairings inh house with a total cost of two halves is nearly $6 million no wonder that SpaceX aims to recover the fairing for repetitive use mirroring their approach with rocket boosters upholding the motto of reusability and sustainability you can see on your screen how a pairing recovery looks like although the recovery vessel on your screen is darkg but today's supporting recovery vessel is Bob the other recovery vessel dub and go Cosmos here at the East Coast is currently awaiting its next assignment e let's have a quick look through the launch timeline for the Falcon 9 rocket passing these events following LIF off at t + 1 minute and 10 seconds Falcon 9 will pass through Max q a point of greatest aerodynamic pressure on the vehicle couple of different events coming up in Rapid succession first will be at t + 2 minutes and 26 seconds where first stage main engine cut off will occer that is Miko followed by a major Milestone within 3 seconds at t + 2 minutes and 29 seconds where first and second stage will separate from each other just after 7 Seconds lat second stage inac engine will ignite for the first time during today's flight that is scs1 at p + 2 minutes and 30 36 seconds coming up next at t plus 2 minutes and 59 seconds Mark Falcon 9's payload fairings will be jettison exposing the payload to the vacuum of space at 3 plus 6 minutes and 12 seconds the first stage entry burn will begin lasting for 22 seconds up to 6 minutes and 34 seconds Mark ending the entry burn for Falon 99's first stage next me Milestone at 3 + 7 minutes and 59 seconds the first stage Landing burn will commence which will Orient and set up the first stage for SpaceX iconic Precision landing at D Plus 8 minutes and 22 seconds the first stage will land on the Drone ship a short fall of Gravitas for 84 time overall marking SpaceX 342nd overall booster Landing to dat the second stage M engine will shut down that is C1 for the first time in today's fright and enter into a parking orbit at t + 8 minutes and 39 seconds t+ 54 minutes and 47 seconds the second stage and back engine will reignite for a quick 2C burn that is scs2 and turning it off at t+ 54 minutes and 49 seconds that is C2 which will set up the batch of 21 starting satellites deployment at appro approximately t+ 1 Hour 3 minutes and 41 seconds now coming to some stats related to today's Mission launch today's launch marks 377th SpaceX overall launch and the 58th dedicated launch of Starling satellites for this year this marks the 365th Falcon 9 launch to date and today's special the 23rd record-breaking flight of this particular Falcon 9 booster supporting today's Mission with tail number 1062 today's launch marks the 82nd P 9 launch of 2024 so far and it's SpaceX 85th overall launch of this year including the third and fourth flight test flights of Starship and one fire can heavy launch we are expecting the next fifth integrated flight test of the Starship probably early September although the dates are yet to be confirmed and SpaceX is undergoing through an license modification from the FAA because this time they will be attempting the booster catch with the launch Tower so that needs a license modification this is SpaceX 311th Falcon booster ref light to date meaning the launch of a booster that has flown at least once before although there is a thing here I would I would like to mention that I don't know for what reason previously we did saw a inaugural launch of a booster with tail number 1085 for the starting 10-5 Mission but SpaceX did counted it into an account of this booster reflight and increase the number by one but actually it should be 310th Fon booster reflight to date but we are sticking with the SpaceX stats about this so this will be the 311 now moving on it will be the 202nd orbital launch for SpaceX launching from space launch complex 40 and will be the 257th overall orbital launch from this bad with this Mission success SpaceX will have a remarkable 6,938 Starling satellites launched to date moving on to some reusability statistics this launch marks 297th Falon booster ref like to date although once again would like to mention you that this should be 296th but as SpaceX is reflecting on its website that this one will be the 297th so we are sticking with that this will be the 81st landing on a shortfall of gravitar drone ship to date 23rd Landing of the first age booster with tail number 1062 with this mission's first stage Landing which brings BRS the Milestones of the 268th overall drone ship Landing marking the 323rd Falcon landing and uh 342nd overall booster Landing to date speaking of drone ship Landing let's look into the stats for drone ship Landings prior to today's Mission it is worth mentioning among the Drone ships a shortfall of gravitar has a Flawless record with zero unsuccessful and 80 successful Landings out of 80 overall attempts in comparison just read the instructions has encountered three unsuccessful Landings with 88 unsuccessful successful Landings out of 91 overall attempts previously with starlink 8-3 Mission while of course I still W has experienced seven unsuccessful and 99 successful Landings out of 106 overall attempts with the previous Arctic set satellite Broadband Mission this positions a shortfall of Gravitas at the Forefront of the successful and unblemished Dron ship Landing attempts also please note that only these drone ship Landing stats which I mention here now are excluding today's Mission these are prior to today's launch so in that case only one number will be increased and the record of a shortfall of Gravitas for its 84st successful Landing let's have a look into some key stats for SpaceX launches in this year including today's starlink 8-6 Mission with today's Mission launch SpaceX has a total of 85 launches this year and out of those 58 are starlink missions including one from today 25 non- Starling missions for commercial and government organizations and two Starship launches the recent non- installing Mission supported by Falcon 9 was the transporter 11 and Max are two missions one of the previous non-starting Miss that the go U Mission was supported by the 10th Falcon heavy launch SpaceX reused booster for 79 times in those Mission launches showing their commitment to sustainability and reusability now if we look into the geographical distribution we get they have 56 launches from the the East Coast with 16 launches from Spa launch complex 39a at cannedy Space Center and 40 launches including today's one from space launch complex 40 here at Cape canaval space force station on the west coast they have 27 launches all from space launch complex 4 East at Vandenburg space for base in [Music] California and there were two launches from Gulf Coast at starbur back in Texas for the Starship third and fourth integrated flight test as for Landings they will be nailing it today 83 times this year most of the landings are on drone ship with 65 successful Landings 22 on of course I still love you 17 on just read the instructions and 26 on a shortfall of Gravitas including one from today and for ground Landings they have pulled off 18 of them 11 times on Landing Zone one previously with the maxr 2 mission two times on on Landing Zone 2 and five times on Landing Zone 4 with recent transporter 11 mission prior to today's launch the success rate for ground Landings is 98.67% with 74 successful Landings for droneship landing the success rate is 96.3 n% with 267 successful Landings and the overall Landing success rate is 96.88% longest stretch of successful mission in a row prior to last mission failure that is the starting 9-3 mission is three 334 backto back successful missions that is from iridium 1 to Turks at 6A Mission today's mission is the 13th launch since last mission failure that is the starting 9-3 Mission most launches in a calender quarter to date is 36 launches in the second quarter of this year and the most launches in a calendar month is 13 launches in May again in this year only that is in 2024 moving on to this year's orbital launches including today's one here we are having a pie chart the United States is dominating with 98 orbital launches including today's Mission launch comprising a substantial 64.1% of the global total recently on August 11th we had a successful rocket lapse electron launch for capella space deploying the Acadia 3 satellite which also adds to the number of us orbital launches made this year China follows closely behind accounting for 24.2% with 37 launches with the recent launch of Long March 7A on China sat 4 a mission a group of communication satellite on August 22nd China plans setting a record-breaking 100 space launches in 2024 including lunar and station missions while Russia maintains a steady Pace with nine launches making 5.9% of the pie on the other hand Japan has four launches so far making 2.6% of the pie with recent h322 s launch vehicle India having three launches with recent launch of ISRO sslv flight 3 mission marking India's third flight for 2024 taking 2% of the pi and Iran having two two launches making 1.3% of the pi as we can see it's a tight competition but undeniably United States and China are clearly leading the space race this year this one is for the last stats here we are having for you guys and we are also nearing to the webcast to begin here we have a pie chart showing 2024 orbital launches by rocket variations including today's launch Falcon 9 with 82 launches including one from today is leading the pack and holding the largest share at 52.6% which accounts for over half of the total rocket lab which has completed 10 launches representing 6.4% of the pi Ross Cosmos so used two rockets with eight launches so far this year which is 5.1% of the pi Long March 2 C and 2D both having 2.6% of the pi and 3.2% of the pi respectively and lastly we got this pink slice bigger slice of the P which is a mix of different Rockets including Aran 6 Falcon heavy Atlas 5 Delta 4 heavy and others they got 47 launches in total which is 30.1% of the pi today's launch marks the 155th orbital launch globally now we are nearing to the webcast to begin adding value to your viewing experience tanks are pressing for start of strong back lower we heard that the call out we are right now pressurizing the tanks we are adding a little bit of gas to stiffen up the tanks so that the clamp arms can smoothly open up with a solid structure you're holding the Fon n strong back lower has started as we heard the call out the process is now underway and you can see the clamp Pals under around the stage two are now coming to open you are seeing the clamp Pals opening up here underneath the payload faing yes we got a closeup view here the transporter erected reclining a degre and a half away from the vehicle while watching the live view of Falcon 9 a couple of important steps we completed the space e stage one lock load is complete for stage two lock Flo is complete gas launch close out to started Falcon 9 isn't start up go for launch te minut 30 seconds to Canon 15 seconds five four 3 two and we have a successful lifp off Falcon 9 has cleared the tower Che press stage one engine CH Cham pressure is nominal we got this from the call out t+ 20 29 seconds into the flight Falcon 9 on its way with 21 Starling satellites into low earth orbit next we should get a call out for the power andry power and Telemetry Nal good call out Z power and Telemetry all are nominal we are into the throttle bu throttling down the N9 M engines preparing for the period of Maximum Dynamic stress coming up as we got the call out we have gone supersonic we have exceeded mark one on the Falcon 9 Falcon 9 reaching the max Q we are through the period of Maximum stress on the vehicle we have throttled the Merlin engines back up to full power next up we we should be hearing a call out for the mbac chill in fact show started as you heard the call out we have started the process of chill down of the M back engine on the second stage prior to its ignition just after stage separation coming up three events in Rapid succession the shutdown of main engine on four stage that is main engine cut of M followed by stage separation and ignition of the second stage M back engine for the first time in today's flight that is scs1 which will boost the payload into low earth orbit so let's hear the call outs also would like to welcome Ed osale thanks for tuning [Music] in hope you will be enjoying the Stream make stage separation confirmed evacuation we just got the call outs for all the backto back Milestones now the stage nitrogen thrusters is now beginning to reorient the four stage and the four Hypersonic titanium git fins started to slowly begin deploying by the command issued by flight computers next up we will be having a call out for fairing separation fairing separation confirmed we got call out that the fairing has successfully separated we are looking right now a view of the first stage continues under the force of gravity and steering with the help of the grit me it will continue to rise towards the before descending back towards the landing on drone ship a short fall of Gravitas stationed in the Atlantic Ocean second stage meanwhile in the middle of its 6-minute burn is on its way into the parking orbit with the 21 Starling satellites payload on board the vehicles are on a nominal trajectory call out for good per performance and trajectory for both the first and second stages so far the launch has gone flawlessly the first stage has completed its job and it's on on its way back the second stage is performing at full capacity providing us the stunning view from space we are now geting up for the first stage landing on drone ship at this phase is the for flight stage one uses only grd fin for steering as it returns to earth the great fince helps Orient the Falcon 9 during re-entry and guides its descent we are currently viewing the second stage but you may occasionally observe bursts of nitrogen gas on the left continue to follow a nominal trajectory on the left side of your screen from the first stage for altitude control this nitrogen gas burst helps position the vehicle as it head heads back to the Drone ship we are glad property Pier that you finally witness the launch now hopefully you will [Music] be we hope that you can see that jelly jellyfish effect for the Falcon 9 there also that will be a cherry on the cake but really we are happy for you thir stages on a nominal trajectory next up we will be having a call out for stage one entry burn that entry burn should be lasting for 22 seconds stage one start and there's a confirmation we have just let three of Saved 1D engines on the first stage you can see now we are rapidly slowing down the vehle down vehicle as it enters the Earth's atmosphere and as mentioned this burn should last just around 22 seconds and there we go there's confirmation of shutdown of the entry burn on the first stage we also got the call out for stage one first Vehicles following a nominal trajectory FD is being saved it means that the Reb burn of the stage one has been accomplished again we got good call out for both the stages following nominal trajectories also would like to welcome Simon thanks Simon for visiting us after a long time welcome back stage one trans you just heard that the call out stage one is now traveling slower than the speed of sound as it heads towards the landing we'll be having the landing of the first stage First St just about 60 seconds away from now next call out will be for the stage one Landing burn stage one Landing burn there we go great views of that Landing burn with the center E9 engine now terminal guidance we are slowing down the vehicle very rapidly should be seeing those Landing legs deploy any seconds now stage one Landing leg deploy landing leg is being deployed and there you have it we have successfully made the 323rd landing of an orbital class Falon 9 rocket next we got the SEO and following that event we will enter into the 46 minutes of Coast phase as the vehicle ens to its Target orbit [Music] and these were the call outs we were waiting for second stage engine cut off SEO as well as the confirmation of a good nominal orbit today's launch marks SpaceX 377th successful Mission with Landing marking their 342 success would like to thanks all of you joining us especially would like to thanks Ed osel Simon hagga pop Tria and faired Simon come visiting us and joining us today after a long time hope you are doing well as Simon and yes I saw that pop got taped and for that maybe the Capcom didn't mention stage one Landing successful so let's see the outcome and thanks Fair mate for being here hopefully we can make the next upcoming launch of Starling 9-5 Mission as well and we will see you there and with that we will wrap up our coverage for now be sure to check out our social media handle on X for the latest happening in the space industry and updates on upcoming launches hope you enjoyed the stream we appreciate everyone of you joining us here for today's launch wishing you all a great week ahead thanks for watching this is Astro yand live and me dpto signing off for now and we will see you next time [Music]
