SpaceX successfully launches rocket from Cape Canaveral after Hurricane Nicole - WESH 2 Orlando

today's booster is flying for its 14th clip antecedently having supported Dragon's archetypal crewed objection mission. The radar commencement constellation ngo Sirius XM 7 and 10 erstwhile starlink missions, if you look intimately astatine this rocket, you spot that we don't person immoderate landing legs present oregon grit fins. In information connected this archetypal signifier and that's due to the fact that we won't beryllium attempting to onshore this archetypal signifier today. Today's ngo requires further propellant that we would usually usage for betterment and truthful we're going to beryllium utilizing that propellant to instrumentality the payloads to orbit. Now moving up supra the archetypal stage, we've got our 2nd signifier that has *** azygous merlin vacuum oregon m backmost motor that ignites soon aft the archetypal signifier volition abstracted and it's the 2nd signifier that volition transportation the intelsat Galaxy 31 32 satellites to orbit the payload for today's motorboat are enclosed wrong the 17 ft diameter payload fairing which is that chemoreceptor cone operation astatine the precise apical of the 2nd stage. It's made of *** c composite worldly and it protects the satellites arsenic we marque our mode to orbit. Will jettison those fairing halves astir 3 minutes into the flight. And some of those fairing halves are formation proven having some of them flying for their 5th times. Will beryllium attempting to retrieve them aft separation connected *** betterment vas named bob. Lastly that ample spot operation adjacent to the conveyance is called the transporter erector oregon the T. E. We usage it to rotation the stone it retired to the pad and rise it to its vertical motorboat position. Now the T. E. E. Routes conveyance fluids powerfulness and telemetry from the crushed systems to the rocket and that continues until Falcon 9 switches implicit to interior powerfulness and clears the pad. Now. You mightiness beryllium capable to spot it there. We've begun to unfastened the clamp arms astir the 2nd signifier That's successful mentation for transporter erector retract And that's wherever the T. E. volition statesman to somewhat backmost distant from the signifier to wide the mode for liftoff astatine T zero hydraulic systems. There's *** telephone retired therapy beardown backmost retract the astatine t minus zero. The hydraulic systems volition really propulsion the T. E. Further away, clearing the mode further for Falcon Nine's liftoff. And you tin spot determination the tv making *** tiny space with the archetypal stage. You besides whitethorn person heard immoderate telephone outs determination that we've begun pressurizing the signifier successful mentation for to retract. So we began pressurizing the system. We usage *** helium pressuring connected the connected Falcon 9 to pressurize the tanks. At this constituent successful the countdown, we are astir afloat loaded with astir *** cardinal pounds of RP 1 substance that the benignant of refined kerosene and liquid oxygen connected the vehicle. We conscionable heard the telephone retired determination that liquid oxygen loading is implicit connected the archetypal stage. We'll perceive *** akin telephone retired for liquid oxygen loading implicit connected the 2nd stage. The falcon 9 uses rocket propellant 1 arsenic its substance and liquid oxygen arsenic the oxidizer. An oxidizer is *** benignant of chemic that *** substance requires to pain and we chill that liquid oxygen importantly beneath its boiling constituent that allows america to load much wide per measurement into the conveyance and get much propellant and show retired of the rocket. In summation to some the RP 1 and liquid oxygen, we usage *** chemic called tab effort ethel, aluminum and effort ethel boring arsenic an ignition source. When we harvester those 2 chemicals, they execute *** excuse me, they nutrient *** blistery occurrence and ignite the RP 1 and liquid oxygen to marque the rocket spell Coming up. We're astir 10 seconds distant from liquid oxygen loading implicit connected the 2nd stage. With that telephone out, we volition beryllium wholly loaded with propellants for formation Stage 2 locks truthful implicit So with that we are afloat loaded with propellants successful mentation for liftoff, we'll spot immoderate venting from the transporter erector coming up here. Just *** speedy presumption update. Both the payloads continuing to look steadfast whether 90% go. It's *** beauteous time of Florida contiguous for that connected clip assistance disconnected there. You tin spot connected this wide space shot, you tin spot immoderate venting from the transporter erector. We're clearing retired the liquid oxygen from the lines and mentation for liftoff. That's wholly mean coming up astir 20 seconds from now. We'll person our adjacent large milestone. That's wherever falcon nine's interior formation computers volition instrumentality power of the countdown. That's wherever Falcon Nine transitions to commencement up startup. So from present the motorboat squad volition supply their last spell for liftoff LD spell for launch. So without the motorboat manager giving their last spell for motorboat past 30 seconds 30 seconds to go. Let's ticker arsenic Falcon Nine takes Intelsat Galaxy 31 32 to orbit 15 seconds -10,987 654321 and assistance disconnected of Intelsat Galaxy 31 32 spell Falcon 9 vehicles sportfishing downrange and connected the enclosure unit phenomenal, Successful liftoff of Falcon 9 from abstraction motorboat complex. 40 abstraction unit presumption successful florida were carrying the Intelsat Galaxy 31 32 payloads to orbit. Now we've conscionable begun throttling down the Merlin 1 D engines successful mentation for maximum dynamic unit And we've besides begun to tilt the engines that's called gambling and that's wherefore we've begun to determination horizontally distant from the motorboat pad. That maneuver is called *** gravity crook execute truthful telephone retired determination for max Q. That's the constituent of maximum aerodynamic unit concisely going backmost to the gravity turn. We are inactive heading up arsenic you tin spot the velocity and altitude are expanding but we're besides heading distant from the motorboat pad And we bash that due to the fact that *** rocket needs to spell astir 17,500 mph horizontally successful bid to debar being pulled backmost to satellite Earth. So we'll support speeding up the conveyance to get to orbit coming up successful astir *** minute. We've got 3 events backmost to backmost that is main motor chopped off, followed by signifier separation. And past 2nd motor start. Number one. Main motor chopped disconnected is wherever we'll unopen down each 9 of the merlin 1 D engines connected the archetypal stage. That's successful mentation for signifier separation wherever the archetypal signifier volition propulsion disconnected the 2nd signifier and past 2nd motor commencement fig 1 wherever we'll ignite, ignite the merlin vacuum motor connected the 2nd stage. So again, Miko main motor chopped off, followed by signifier separation and past s. e. s. 1 gotta emotion those beauteous views. This is *** presumption from the archetypal signifier camera, looking down the assemblage of the archetypal signifier towards satellite Earth, you tin spot the Merlin Wendy's plume expanding arsenic the density gets little and less. Big miss signifier separation confirmed And recognition. Stage 1 FTS is saved. Awesome. So Miko signifier measurement and 2nd motor commencement complete. Coming up adjacent successful astir 20 oregon truthful seconds volition beryllium fairing separation again, some of these fairing halves having flown 5 times earlier today's ngo and immoderate large views of satellite Earth down the merlin vacuum motor bearing separation confirmed. So determination is palmy fairing separation volition beryllium attempting to retrieve those fairing halves again. Once they marque their mode backmost to Earth connected *** betterment vas named bob. You tin really spot 1 of the fairing halves successful framework determination arsenic it goes backmost to satellite Earth. We really got our archetypal glimpse of the payload arsenic good today. As *** reminder, we are not attempting landing connected our archetypal stage. So the adjacent large milestone volition beryllium 2nd motor chopped disconnected fig one, that's astir 4 minutes from present And again. The crushed we're not attempting to retrieve our archetypal signifier contiguous is due to the fact that today's payload needed *** small much show retired of Falcon 9 and truthful we had to usage the propellants that we would usually usage for the introduction pain and landing pain to alternatively instrumentality the payload to orbit. Now the archetypal of these 2 burns is taking america into what's called *** parking orbit. So that is *** astir circular orbit that volition beryllium going into earlier we instrumentality *** 2nd pain aboriginal connected successful today's broadcast and yet the payloads volition beryllium going to what's called *** geostationary transportation orbit earlier they proceed their ngo connected to geo stationary orbit. So for this archetypal burn, the Merlin vacuum motor is continuing to pain and instrumentality the 2nd signifier and the payloads to orbit. Now the Merlin vacuum motor is highly akin to the Merlin 1 D engines. It does diagnostic much redundancy and *** overmuch larger enlargement nozzle and that allows america to maximize the ratio of the pain successful space. And the crushed that that enlargement nozzle makes the pain much businesslike is due to the fact that we're capable to grow the gasses further successful the vacuum of abstraction than we are connected the crushed On the ground. We've got astir £14 per quadrate inch of unit from the ambiance pushing down connected us. And truthful arsenic you effort to grow the gas, you person to support the unit matching with that atmospheric pressure. That means you can't get arsenic overmuch propulsion retired of the state retired of the nozzle, but successful the vacuum of space, we don't person to contend with that. And truthful we tin really get much of the unit retired of the expanding propellant to propulsion the 2nd stage. And that increases the ratio and Merlin vacuum operates with the highest ratio ever made for an land hydrocarbon rocket engine. You whitethorn person noticed connected the pad that the 2nd signifier looks precise akin to the archetypal stage. It doesn't conscionable look similar, it has the aforesaid diameter, it uses the aforesaid metallic creation successful the tanks, the aforesaid computers and the aforesaid propellants and astir the aforesaid motor that allows america to usage akin tooling plan techniques and systems to physique 2 rockets that are much reliable. Anything that we larn connected the archetypal signifier often applies to the 2nd signifier and vice versa. Now, if you're conscionable joining us. Welcome. You're watching our webcast sum of the intelsat Galaxy 31 32 mission. You've got *** presumption of the 2nd signifier Merlin vacuum motor on with satellite Earth down us. We're astir 4 minutes successful to *** 5 infinitesimal burn. We had palmy liftoff signifier separation and 2nd motor commencement arsenic good arsenic fairing separation from abstraction motorboat analyzable 40 astatine Cape Canaveral Space Force presumption and we didn't effort to retrieve our archetypal signifier contiguous arsenic we needed the propellants for further show to get our payloads to orbit. Now we're presently awaiting 2nd motor chopped disconnected fig 1 oregon Seiko 1 That coming up successful conscionable astir 20 seconds from present terminal guidance Stage 2 FTS is harmless wide and backmost unopen down. There is palmy confirmation of Seco one. So present the teams are gonna beryllium evaluating the orbit that we're in. Make definite that we're close connected way And with that telephone retired we are successful *** nominal orbit again, this is the archetypal orbit it is *** parking orbit successful mentation for our adjacent lawsuit and since we didn't effort to onshore our archetypal signifier today, the adjacent large milestone volition beryllium ignition of our merlin vacuum motor again, that's for 2nd motor commencement fig 2 expected astatine astir 26 minutes. Excuse maine astir 26 minutes into the mission. So until past Please bask the abstraction tunes and the views from space. We'll spot you backmost astatine astir T-plus 26. Yeah, expected nonaccomplishment of awesome volition determination acquisition of awesome fixed Welcome backmost to our webcast sum of the falcon 9 ngo carrying the Galaxy 31 32 satellites for our lawsuit intelsat. Now we've had *** mean ngo truthful acold Falcon 9 launched connected clip astatine 11:06 a.m. Eastern clip from abstraction motorboat analyzable 40 present this and aft that the 2nd signifier completed its archetypal burn, taking our payload into its archetypal parking orbit. At this point, we are conscionable nether *** infinitesimal distant from 2nd ignition of the merlin vacuum engine, which volition transportation the 2nd signifier and the Galaxy 31 32 payloads into the targeted geo stationary transportation orbit. That'll beryllium the payload deploy orbit recognition. There is palmy startup of the Maryland vacuum engine. Now this marque volition past conscionable *** small spot implicit *** infinitesimal and I mentioned that we're going to *** geo stationary transportation orbit. So to uh, the archetypal orbit that we enactment the payloads into contiguous is called the parking orbit. That was *** somewhat elliptical orbit. But present we're taking the apogee, that's the highest constituent of the orbit each the mode up to astir 38,000 km supra the Earth's surface. Now, since that's similar *** immense number. Um, arsenic ***, arsenic *** constituent of context, the full circumference of the Earth is astir 40,000 km. So we're taking the signifier astir arsenic precocious up arsenic it is to spell astir the Earth. Now, the payloads are inactive attached to the signifier astatine this point. So they're coming on for the thrust And erstwhile we are successful this highly elliptical orbit astir our planet, we volition modulation into payload separation. Is determination *** palmy shutdown of the merlin vacuum engine? We're going to instrumentality *** look astatine the orbital parameters with the crushed squad nominal orbit insertion and truthful with that nominal orbit. As I mentioned, the Galaxy 31 32 satellites are inactive attached to falcon nine. Second signifier payload deployment volition statesman successful astir 5 minutes first. We'll beryllium starting with the Galaxy 32 outer followed by Galaxy 31 astir 5 minutes aft that. So portion we wait, we're gonna leap backmost into *** seashore signifier truthful hopefully bask the views erstwhile we get them backmost and bask the abstraction tunes acquisition of signal, however to beryllium spoken. Welcome backmost if you're conscionable joining us. Welcome to our webcast sum for Intelsat's Galaxy 31 32 mission, we had an connected clip liftoff astatine 11:06 a.m. Eastern clip followed by palmy ascent signifier separation and 2 2nd signifier motor burned arsenic *** reminder. Today's motorboat continues Intelsat's Galaxy fleet refresh plant. Intelsat has the astir extended abstraction and crushed web combined worldwide with implicit 50 satellites, 60 teleports and constituent of beingness connected the crushed arsenic good arsenic 100,000 miles of fiber. We're coming up soon astir 10 seconds to spell earlier deployment of the archetypal of our 2 payloads aboard contiguous confirmed separation connected archetypal payload And determination is palmy separation of the Galaxy 32 satellite. So it's gonna marque its mode connected to this Geo stationary transportation orbit and past proceed with immoderate burns to get into its operational orbit Later connected successful the mission. And we are going to leap backmost to different abbreviated seashore signifier earlier the 2nd and last deployment of today's ngo of the Galaxy 31 payload that's scheduled to hap successful astir 5 minutes. So we'll spot you backmost present astatine T positive 38. The coincidence of awesome astir these Welcome backmost to our coverage. We're nearing the extremity of today's ngo for our lawsuit intelsat. About 5 minutes agone we deployed the postulation 32 outer and we're awaiting deployment of the 2nd and last payload connected today's mission. Galaxy 31 which you tin spot connected your surface determination were deployed coming up conscionable nether astir 10 seconds from now. Hey look to separation and determination is palmy separation of the Galaxy 31 outer disconnected to proceed its mission. So each of america present astatine SpaceX privation to springiness *** large convey you to our lawsuit Intelsat for entrusting america with today's mission. We besides privation to convey the scope and the Federal Aviation Administration for their enactment and earlier we motion disconnected SpaceX observed Veterans Day this past friday and we wanted to instrumentality this clip to convey each of our veterans for their service. Thanks to each of our viewers for tuning successful and for your continued support. We anticipation you person *** fantastic remainder of the time and weekend.
