Hello, we are TheSpaceXFans and welcome to TheSpaceXShow, the place where you can stay
up to date with everything SpaceX.
Kicking off the video today, SpaceX launched yet another Starlink mission with lift off
of Starlink 4-35.
[SpaceX Commentator: “One.
Ignition.
And lift off of Starlink 4-35.
Go Falcon 9.”]
The booster which launched this mission, B1073, then landed successfully for the 4th time
on the droneship A Shortfall Of Gravitas.
[SpaceX Commentator: “And its next major activity will be the landing burn.
Stage 2 is in terminal guidance.
Stage 1 landing burn.
Startup of just a single Merlin engine, we’ll see landing leg deploy as well shortly.
But also keep an ear out here for second stage engine cutoff.
Stage 1 landing leg deploy.
SECO.
Stage 1 landing confirmed.
So with those 2 callouts, and a great shot from the droneship, we’ve got confirmation
of our second stage in the nominal orbit.
And our first stage Falcon 9 has landed, marking the 143rd landing of an orbital class rocket.
This marks our 43rd launch of 2022.”]
Elon Musk posted a Starlink related Tweet saying “Starlink connecting schools in the
Amazon.”
NASA posted a Tweet saying “Our next commercial crew launch to the space station is scheduled
to lift off from NASA Kennedy Space Centre no earlier than Monday, Oct. 3.”
There was an article posted related to the information we found out about Saudi Arabia
signing a deal with Axiom for astronauts to launch with SpaceX.
It says “Saudi Arabia's mission to the International Space Station next year aboard a SpaceX capsule
will include a woman who would become the world's first female Arab astronaut, according
to Axiom Space.”
There was an article by Teslarati with news of SpaceX securing more launch contracts.
It says “SpaceX’s workhorse Falcon 9 rocket has secured three new geostationary satellite
launch contracts from South Korea and the Middle East.
All three contracts – two from Arabsat and one from KT SAT – build off of successful
relationships SpaceX has already built with both companies.”
Heading to Boca Chica, the chopsticks were raised and wrapped around Booster 7 recently.
A newly installed water deluge system on the orbital launch mount was tested for a lengthy
6 minutes.
Crews were seen working on extending a building in the production yard.
Work to install this payload bay cover on Ship 24 was spotted recently.
Starship Gazer posted a Tweet with pictures of the work on Starship 24.
He said “A new cover was lifted into place this morning over top of S24's Starlink V2
PEZ door.
Notice the newly drilled holes on the old PEZ door in photos 2 & 3.
These appear to be pressure equalization holes meaning this new cover will be permanently
welded in place.”
The Starlink dispenser mechanism was installed into the Starship 27 payload section.
During the week, Booster 7 was lifted off of the orbital mount and onto the transport
stand.
The booster was then rolled back to the production site.
It was also moved into the Mega Bay upon arriving.
SpaceX posted this super awesome drone footage of Booster 7 being rolled back to the launch
site.
They said “Booster 7 transported back to the Starship factory for robustness upgrades
ahead of flight.”
As always, I have to say thanks to Nic Ansuini for being out there filming the Starbase content
in this video.
Also, thanks to the NASASpaceflight team working behind the scenes on their videos, livestreams
and other space content.
