Draggendrop Veteran Posted March 5, 2016 Veteran Share Posted March 5, 2016 Just need a health report on the payload.....fingers crossed Unobscured Vision and anthdci 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthdci Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 so is that a job well done as far as the payload goes? obviously it is not at it's orbit yet, but has it been put on its correct path to the orbit?

Unobscured Vision Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Just now, anthdci said: so is that a job well done as far as the payload goes? obviously it is not at it's orbit yet, but has it been put on its correct path to the orbit? They need the bird to check in and run its' diagnostics. Then they'll know. Draggendrop and anthdci 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beittil Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I suppose Boeing and SES will come with an update on that shortly. For now, i am OFF TO BED. tata Draggendrop and Unobscured Vision 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draggendrop Veteran Posted March 5, 2016 Veteran Share Posted March 5, 2016 This is where densification pays off, the bugs with launching will be worked out and will seem routine with practice and acquired knowledge.

Unobscured Vision Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Yeah. It wouldn't shock me either, the way it was looking at the last moment. Draggendrop 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggendrop Veteran Posted March 5, 2016 Veteran Share Posted March 5, 2016 We have lot's of launches coming up for S1 landings, this one was the "heavy lift to GTO". Hoping by next year, SpaceX will have a small collection of stages at their disposal. Unobscured Vision 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocM Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 Target altitude of 40,600 km achieved. Thanks @SES_Satellites for riding on Falcon 9! Looking forward to future missions. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/705910704792973313 Draggendrop 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim K Global Moderator Posted March 5, 2016 Global Moderator Share Posted March 5, 2016 This cracked me for some reason. ...but I'm starting to fear the longer time passes the more likely it went poof. Oh well...they will get it and it'll become "routine". Unobscured Vision, Draggendrop and anthdci 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsItPluggedIn Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Or maybe they would have said something if it failed and they are just cleaning up the video to post a good landing? Draggendrop, Jim K and Unobscured Vision 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like it was a about 10 meters wide of the mark to me. Which would be a leg on the ship and tipped over to the Atlantic. It's such a shame if thats the case because if it was a land based landing pad it would have been absolutely fine.
