Unobscured Vision Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Awesome stuff. SpaceX worked their rear ends off to do the Double Header Weekend, and they deserved the success. More importantly, SpaceX has shown that they can pull off a mid-1960's NASA work schedule and (UNLIKE the mid-1960's NASA) get it done on-time and for 1/10th the money, comparatively. We ALL need to support SpaceX more than ever. They ARE the future of the U.S. Space Program. They're actually the NOW of the U.S. Space Program, folks. 2018 is gonna be a FANTASTIC year, just like 2017 is shaping up to be.

DocM Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) Recap, Home run. Perfect, if foggy, launch. The fastest turnaround of the same launcher type since 1966. The new Titanium grid fins worked perfectly. Good stage landing. All 10 satellites were deployed and have phoned home. On to IntelSat 35e, which has its static fire on Thursday and likely launches in 10-14 days. Unobscured Vision 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulRocket Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 First pictures of the new highly reusable titanium grid fins: This is very exciting in my opinion. No refurbishment needed... Bodes well for Block 5! Unobscured Vision and Jim K 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
