Space Exploration megathread

Since a number of cool things are happening in space exploration these days, we'll widen the scope of this thread a smidge. Conversation about all things space exploration are welcome, whether it be from NASA, SpaceX, ULA, Blue Origin, or anyone else. Chances are most of the discussion will still be about SpaceX since they love to make things public and fun, but nothing's off limits. I'll eventually get around to modifying the OP to include resources for other companies too, but in the meantime, feel free to post any cool stuff you run across.

Since this was clearly a highly exciting launch (/s), here are the only things that you really need to know:
  • Mission success. All 10 satellites deployed and operating properly.
  • No landing attempt for the first stage on this one. They're still clearing out old boosters it seems.
  • Still no success on catching the fairing. Apparently they're having trouble getting the parafoil guidance system to work right because the fairing itself is messing with the air flow. Still a work in progress.

Dropped the ball on my usual 24-hour bump, but ISS-bound Dragon launches today at 4:30pm Eastern. No landing - they're still plowing through boosters apparently.

NASA coverage is live. SpaceX coverage should be in 5-10 minutes.

I’m at Cocoa beach today. Had no clue this was happening but about 15 minutes ago a bunch of people started pointing their cameras toward Canaveral.

Looked like a successful launch.

Experimental landing maneuvers? Interesting, but we won't hear any more about it, apparently.

Yeah, they've been doing a bunch of weird stuff on the landings lately for these launches where they're dumping the booster. Probably not much that's exciting for us laymen - just seeing how far they can push the limits and still keep things in control.

I was hoping for some sweet flips.

If they do it, it'd be a minimum of 45 launches and up to 250 to get it going. Guess they're counting on this reusability thing to actually work because that's a **** ton of launches.
Interesting, I'd seen it got approval but hadn't seen details. Fiber speeds sounds pretty crazy for satellite. Then again, fiber speeds doesn't really define much. If you're in the boonies, it's almost assuredly better than DSL though.

The sound was intense.

It was miles away from us but when the sound finally reached us it was like a subwoofer in my ear with the bass to the max.

24-hour bump for TESS. The launches are becoming a bit mundane, but this is the coolest payload SpaceX has ever launched. Assuming the mission goes well, you'll hear about the exoplanet discoveries being made with TESS for years. Here's a brief overview video:



Aside from that, there's this goofy bastard.

Scrubbed until Wednesday.
