SpaceX launches advanced US Space Force weather satellite, nails landing in California

Ғылым және технология

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket is lifted launched the U.S. Space Force called USSF-62 mission from California's Vandenberg Space Force Base on April 11, 2024 at 10:25 a.m. EDT (7:25 a.m. local California time; 1425 GMT).
According to Space.com, the USSF-62 will send the Weather System Follow-on - Microwave (WSF-M) satellite to low Earth orbit. WSF-M is a next-generation spacecraft that "will provide critical and actionable weather intelligence to military operations in all warfighting domains," according to BAE Systems, which developed and built the satellite.

    Noted that the second stage engine seems to have a plastic ring come off when ignited, which was missing for a few launches, though this ring seemed a few inches higher than the prior ones, which appeared on the lower edge of the rocket bell. Only using grid fins for guidance?? Seems nitrogen keeps being used also for first stage orientation.

    I am hear to tell all of you enthusiasts that the sonic boom during the landing of the first stage was the biggest sonic boom I have heard in all of my 68 years. We were about 10 to 12 miles away from the launchpad perhaps a thousand feet above the Lompoc Valley when that blast hit us. Monumental!😱

    I live 40 miles south of Vandenberg, and the sonic booms are very loud here - in fact, they shake our apartment and scare our cats. This happens on a weekly basis - and Elon Musk says next year there willl be two or three launches per week. That means we can expect to have our apartment rattled 2 or 3 times per week. I'm all for technology, and support SpaceX - but sonic booms in the middle of the night are getting to be a bit much.
