Rather than just capturing yet another streak shot of a night launch, I recorded video of it from the Bennett Causeway off of FL-528 in Cape Canaveral. Turns out video is hard and I have a lot to learn. That’s okay, it’s fun to learn and improve.
SpaceX Falcon9 lifted off at half midnight tonight from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station carrying Intelsat 40e to orbit.
I was due East of it, and perfectly aligned with the launch azimuth.
Shortly before noon SpaceX lofted another batch of Starlink satellites to Earth-orbit today. The launch was from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
SpaceX launched two satellites for SES tonight from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
This is what I see when I am photographing a rocket launch. This view is pretty much the same as the naked eye look. I was busy photographing stills, so the camera is static and doesn’t follow the rocket.
SpaceX launched forty satellites for OneWeb, a global Internet connectivity firm. It was the 13th launch for Booster-1062, and the first time the venerable rocket stage returned to its launch site rather than landing at sea on one of SpaceX’s automated barges.
SpaceX launched 21 of its second-generation Starlink satellites from Cape Canaveral aboard a Falcon 9 on February 27, 2023.
Falcon 9 carried dual-band, six-ton mobile communications relay station Inmarsat I-6 F2 to orbit for Inmarsat, a British company.
The launch was at 10:59pm local time at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station’s SLC-40 complex. It was a cloudy, muggy evening as a cold front approached, but the weather was deemed good enough for the successful launch.
Unfortunately, due to some bad luck and lack of a backup plan, these photos were taken through the trees on the banks of the Indian River. The low cloud deck made the show a very brief one after liftoff, though from time to time the rocket glared through a gap in the clouds.
SpaceX launched another 54 Starlink satellites to orbit this morning as they continue to build out their constellation to provide ubiquitous Internet connectivity anywhere in the world.
The launch represented the fastest turnaround and launch from a single launch pad — five days — and is their tenth launch of 2023.
SpaceX launched the Amazonas Nexus satellite tonight from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The payload is owned by the Spanish company Hispasat. Amazonus Nexus will connect trans-Atlantic airline passengers, maritime traffic, and rural communities across the Americas.
