OHM SpaceX Mission Package (2016-present)

[kuddel]

Another fine launch. :thumbup:
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any coverage of the fairing capture operations

 

[Kyle]

B1046 to ASDS:

"We've got to stop meeting like this."

 

[DaveS]

The reason is that the payload was recently added to the LV at the pad, so if anything were to happen, SpaceX could be on the hook for a 500+ million USD LV replacement along with whatever the NROL-71 payload cost. So, not a good day for anyone if the F9 first stage decided to have a bad day.


So it's just easier and cheaper to haul the ASDS out than to risk incurring a massive bill just because they wanted the 1st stage back 2 days sooner.

Just to add this: [ame="https://twitter.com/ChrisG_NSF/status/1070386693772058624"]Chris G - NSF on Twitter: "This shows a good command the logic of these #Falcon9 boosters. If they can’t make it to their landing target, they ditch in the water. Also shows why NRO asked #SpaceX to RTLS the Vandy booster two days ago on the drone ship and not overfly SLC-6.… https://t.co/aJtLoABGig"[/ame]

Updated for CRS-16!

 

[pappy2]

Hello "Kyle"

Once again very beautiful update !!!

Just tell you that for the mission CRS-16 after several tests the 1st floor of the Falcon9 remains vertical in the ocean.







Do you have a solution for it to float horizontally?

thank you in advance

 

[Kyle]

Solution: take manual control, start spinning wildly, enjoy inevitable crash

 

[Snax]

Hi Pappy2, for the CRS-16 mission, I have to open the control panel with K, then change the parameters because it's set on EDL and not on Flyback-EDL and also select LZ1 because by default it's "CRS-16_splashdown_zone".

OK thanks in manual:
It's the big dive !! :speakcool:

OK, thanks
For me everything is good in the launchpad :thumbup:

 

[ZacharyS41]

Kyle,

When will the GPS-III mission be included in the Mission Package?

 

[Kyle]

Sorry, haven't been home lately, just got home today. I'll update for GPS later today. Additionally, I found this resource that includes all the exact ASDS locations, so I'll update accordingly. I was using the coordinates found in the FCC applications.

 

[ZacharyS41]

Good finding, Kyle.

I've been using Raul's General SpaceX Map for as long as I can remember. Maybe for the last two years.

 

[Kyle]

Updated for GPS III SV01

 

[Sbb1413]

Houston, we lost our fairing at pre-launch!

I'm talking about the "Orbcomm OG2 - Falcon 9 (Flight 20) - Cape Canaveral SLC40" scenario:

BEGIN_DESC
Mission Profile: SpaceX returned the Falcon 9 to flight with the launch of the Orbcomm OG2 satellites. The SpaceX Falcon 9 v1.2 launched on December 21, 2015 at 01:29:00 UTC from Space Launch Complex-40. The first stage successfully landed on Landing Zone-1 (LZ-1), marking the first recovery of an orbital class rocket stage.


Spacecraft: Orbcomm OG2

Launch Vehicle: Falcon 9 v1.2


Launch: December 21, 2015 at 01:29:00 UTC

Launch Pad: Space Launch Complex-40, Cape Canaveral AFS, Florida.

Orbit Atlitude: 611 kilometers by 641 kilometers

Orbit Inclination: 47.00

Falcon 9 1st Stage Landing: SpaceX's Landing Zone-1 (Launch Complex-13), Cape Canaveral Air Force Base, Florida.

[Sbb1413]

Let's test it!

Thank you! I can finally experience the first stage landing of an orbital-class booster!

 

[ThBaron]

Thank you for the Update! For yesterdays Iridium NEXT-8 launch I get a CTD cause the configuration file for "Falcon9R_V12\f9_v12_iridium_charred" is missing.

 

[Kyle]

Fixed.

 

[Kyle]

Updated for DM-1!
