Hello, we are TheSpaceXFans and welcome to TheSpaceXShow, the place where you can stay
up to date with everything SpaceX.
Yesterday, SpaceX launched their first multiple payloads of 2023 with the Transporter-6 mission.
[SpaceX Commentator: “One.
And lift off.
Vehicle is pitching downrange.”]
The booster which launched this mission, B1060, then landed successfully for the 15th time
on the landing pad at Landing Zone 1.
[SpaceX Commentator: “We are attempting to recover this booster for the 15th time
today.
Targeting this land landing at Landing Zone 1.
We’ve got just one more burn, which is the landing burn on the first stage.
We’ll ignite just a single centre Merlin engine.
That’ll happen just before touchdown.
Stage 1 transonic.
One the right hand side of your screen, we’ve got a ground view of stage 1, you can see
the centre engine has ignited.
Stage 1 landing burn.
We’ll expect to see the 4 landing legs deploy…
Stage 2 terminal guidance… for a soft touchdown at Landing Zone 1.
Now, during this, we’ll also hear a callout of second engine cutoff on the second stage.
Stage 1 landing leg deploy.
SECO.
Stage 1 landing confirmed.
So landing is complete.
We also heard a callout there for SECO.
Nominal parking orbit.
SECO is second engine cutoff number 1, we just heard a callout as well for nominal parking
orbit.
And with that we have landed the Falcon 9.
It’s our 161st landing of an orbital class rocket.
This booster’s 15th.”]
Related to this launch, SpaceX posted a Tweet.
They said “Falcon 9 launches SpaceX’s sixth dedicated smallsat rideshare mission
– completing our 200th successful launch!”
SpaceX’s 2nd launch of 2023 should be a Starlink mission.
The Starlink 2-4 mission is currently scheduled for Monday, January 9th at 2:54am UTC or Sunday
8th at 9:54pm EST.
In addition to that, we could actually see the 3rd launch of 2023 on Monday as well.
The OneWeb 16 mission is currently scheduled for Monday 9th at 4:45am UTC or Sunday 8th
at 11:45pm EST.
We found out last video about NASA talking with SpaceX about the possibility of helping
with returning the stranded cosmonauts.
There was an article posted with information about possibilities.
It says “As NASA and Roscosmos determine what to do about the Soyuz MS-22 situation,
one potential option is using SpaceX’s Crew Dragon Endurance to bring all seven ISS crew
members home.
Crew Dragon actually is designed for seven people, but NASA needs only four seats so
that is the number in Endurance right now.
NASA is asking SpaceX what it would take to accommodate the three who arrived on Soyuz
MS-22 as well.”
Unfortunately we still have no content from Starbase to take a look at but we might be
able to expect some testing this week.
As we saw last video, there is a possible closure for this week with Friday 6th and
also next week on Monday 9th.
