SpaceX Falcon 9, Starlink 5-9, 05-14-2023 : Highlights
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, Falcon 9, Intelsat 40e, 04-07-2023
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.
SpaceX, Falcon 9, Starlink 5-5, 03/24/2023
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, Falcon 9, SES-18 and SES-19, 03/17/2023
SpaceX launched two satellites for SES tonight from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
Static View of Liftoff of SpaceX Falcon 9, OneWeb 17 03-09-2023
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 Falcon 9, Inmarsat I-6 F2, 02-18-2023
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, Amazonus Nexus, 02-06-2023
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.
SpaceX, Falcon Heavy, USSF-67, January 15, 2023
A SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket lifted off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida on January 15, 2023 at 5:56 p.m. EST (2255 GMT). The rocket was carrying a classified U.S. Space Force communications satellite and five additional military payloads as a rideshare. The Falcon Heavy’s two side boosters returned to land at SpaceX’s landing zones a few miles away at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station about eight minutes after launch.
SpaceX, Falcon9, Starlink 5-1, 12-28-2022
SpaceX launched 54 Starlink satellites this morning from Cape Canaveral, closing out the 2022 launch schedule for Florida. It was yet another picture-perfect launch.
Skies were clear enough this morning to where we could see the second stage for six-ish minutes. There’s a small gap between the end of the first stage’s powered ascent and the ignition of the second stage. My aim in this photo was to capture as much as possible of the second stage, and it succeeded from that perspective.
