Blastoff! SpaceX launches next-gen US spy satellites from California
Ғылым және технология
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched the NROL-186 mission for the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) from California's Vandenberg Space Force Base on June 29, 2024 at 11:14 p.m. EDT (8:14 p.m. local California time; 0314 GMT on June 29). Full Story: www.space.com/spacex-nrol-186...
According to Space.com, the Falcon 9's first stage came back to Earth about 8 minutes after liftoff tonight as planned, landing on the SpaceX drone ship Of Course I Still Love You, which was stationed in the Pacific Ocean.

I remember back in the day when rocket launches were very rare. Now thanks to SpaceX. we see this quite often

It never gets old I like watching it the landing burns and the landings

First time I ever saw that it was like, " WTF" that was cool as hell 😊😊😊😊
I thought the first step of being a spy, and launching spy satellites, is to not tell people you're a spy, or launching spy satellites.

It's very hard to conceal the launch itself, both visually and by radar. What can be concealed is the exact capabilities of the payload and the specific orbit.

This is the routine spy stuff. It's the ones that we don't know about which are the good ones.

This is the regularity of space operations that we have been promised since the space shuttle days. It's nice to see it actually come to pass. No government could ever do what SpaceX is doing. Well done.

The space shuttles were the biggest mistake NASA ever made. We marked time on space advances for two decades for nothing. They are so heavy and expensive they are not worth anything.

Wut? Lol space x wouldn't be able to do this without the government. Contracts, subsidization, and clearance.
Ya'll should mention it's the flame front of "re-entry burn" which acts like a heat shield against atmospheric friction. Else, they would just Kamikaze and restart the engines only once, just to land. 😊
Imagine a spy satellite hopping from one satellite to the next and damaging each as it goes. Crazy.
Wish they'd change that camera angle to let us see it actually lifting off.
due to Social Media people not bothered by everyday launches while 20 years ego it was miracle
This is why Elon has "never seen any proof of aliens"...
how many launches has there been holy shit
So for me and anybody that may have this question that haven't found and answer online. Why do the falcon 9's launch with their grid fins folded and the starship launch them deployed?

I think SpaceX mentioned that they found atmospheric drag minimal on launch thru to the 1st minute (MaxQ) and they save on some weight and complexity with the grid fins not folding down. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong I watch alot of Space community videos and that's what I remember.
I never thought I would get bored of this. But he does it so often it's just as normal as a plane take off. Nice work Space X!

Are you sure its spy satellites? Not weather satellites?

Even after watching so many launches,, I always see different details.
Just happened to see this guy low on the horizon before it disappeared into the clouds from southern Arizona at dusk. Super cool! The first one I saw blew my mind because it was darker out and the sky was clear so you could see the plume being lit up by the sun super bright and it seemingly lasted forever. This one was much more muted because of more daylight plus the monsoons. But still, what a treat! So crazy to see something all the way out on the Pacific from a landlocked state like this. And also crazy that it happens so often I can just randomly catch it!
Did you mean June 28th.? It is now June 29th. 2:30 PM EDT. 11:14 PM EDT was almost Midnight yesterday.
Hundreds of these stage 1 re-entry and landings I am still so amazed, good rocket science here!
How long will it stay in orbit
What are those UFO's flying in the image at about 5:45?
Making the competition looking stupid at this point 😂😂
Amazing work SpaceX. Congratulations.
Nice landing, humans sometimes show promises. See you at L3. 😊😊😊
Елон друг мой родной спасибо тебе видео супер фантастик 😎 ❤❤❤поздравляю с удачным запуском❤❤❤😎 😍 🤩 😋
Lovely. Nice to see, but shutting the main engines before second stage ignition isn’t to slow down the speed of the first stage, as the second stage is still connected and they travel at the same speed: that’s kinda what connected means. The second stage is only being pushed by the first stage. The drag on the second stage just has to be sufficient less than the drag on the first stage to allow the distance between the stages to exist and increase. Acceleration changed with MECO, the integration of acceleration is speed and the integration of speed is distance: ignoring constants. What changed was acceleration and what is desired is distance, speed is just in the middle. They are all monotonically related, but perhaps best to talk about what changed or what was desired.
