Hello, we are TheSpaceXFans and welcome to TheSpaceXShow, the place where you can stay
up to date with everything SpaceX.
On Thursday, SpaceX successfully launched the Starlink 6-15 mission on a Falcon 9 rocket.
[SpaceX Commentator: “One.
Ignition.
We have lift off.
Go Falcon 9, go Starlink.”]
The booster which launched this mission, B1071, then landed successfully for the 10th time
on the droneship Of Course I Still Love You.
[SpaceX Commentator: “And there you heard that important callout for SECO-1, or second
engine cutoff 1, and we’re now waiting on that callout for good orbit.
Coming up in just a few moments will be the start of our landing burn…
Nominal orbit insertion… on the Falcon 9 first stage.
Stage 1 landing burn.
And there’s the start of the Falcon 9 first stage landing burn, we also heard that callout
for good orbit.
Stage 1 landing leg deploy.
Stage 1 landing confirmed.
And there you heard and saw, our Falcon 9 first stage has successfully launched and
landed for its 10th time.
Today’s landing marks our 208th overall landing of an orbital class rocket, including
Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy missions.”]
Another Starlink mission was scheduled for earlier this morning but has since been moved
to this evening.
The Starlink 6-6 mission is currently scheduled for today, Sunday 23rd at 11:09pm UTC or 7:09pm
EDT.
Coming up this week, we can hopefully expect to see yet another Starlink mission launch.
The Starlink 6-7 mission is currently scheduled for Thursday 27th at 2:04am UTC or Wednesday
26th at 10:04pm EDT.
We may also see a Falcon Heavy launch the same day, just an hour or so after the Starlink
launch.
The Falcon Heavy Jupiter 3/EchoStar 24 mission is currently scheduled for Thursday 27th at
3:04am UTC or Wednesday 26th at 11:04pm EDT.
Related to this Falcon Heavy vehicle, SpaceX posted this super cool picture of the 27 Merlin
engines.
Heading to Boca Chica, here’s a view of the orbital launch site.
SpaceX recently did a bunch of testing of various systems at the launch site.
Work continues on the Orbital Launch Mount as they get closer to having it ready for
testing.
Scaffolding was seen being removed from the orbital mount.
As we saw last video, SpaceX tested the new water deluge system.
Crews were seen inspecting the steel plate after the testing.
This new tank was spotted sitting at the launch site.
The Starship thrust simulator was seen being moved.
Work continues on Starship 25 which is still sitting on the test stand.
Elon Musk posted this cool picture on Twitter of Starship 25 and said “Next Starship prototype.”
SpaceX have been disassembling the Ship 27 prototype in the rocket garden.
The Booster 9 prototype was recently rolled from the production to the launch site.
SpaceX posted some super cool pictures of the Booster 9 prototype rolling to the newly
refurbished orbital pad.
The chopsticks were raised and Booster 9 was rolled inside them.
Booster 9 was then lifted over and onto the orbital launch mount.
SpaceX also posted a couple of pictures of Booster 9 sitting on the orbital launch mount
for hopefully some testing soon.
I forgot to include this last video but during the week, Booster 10 underwent some cryo testing.
Taking a look at the Cameron County website, there is a closure scheduled for today, Sunday
23rd.
There are also backup possible closures for tomorrow, Monday 24th and Tuesday 25th.
To finish up the video today, there is an updated Starship production diagram to take
a look at thanks to TheRingWatchers.
In addition, there is a Booster production diagram to also take a look at.
As always, I have to say thanks to Jack Beyer for being out there filming the Starbase content.
Also, thanks to the NASASpaceflight team working behind the scenes on their videos, livestreams
and other space content.
