Starship Flight 09 NTM seems to be significantly shorter in length than previous flights. (Green is FLT-3) This may suggest 1 of 2 things, or both. Either booster separation will be performed at a lower speed (unlikely) or there is a major trajectory modification.

@kwan3217 @Starship_block2 That is only the Mexican airspace

@Starship_block2 Polygon is weird -- Are they launching on the same azimuth as before? Are they accounting for a strong crosswind from the North?

Flight 7 NOTAM has been released.

@Alexphysics13 Why would they need the tansport stand for a SQD arm retraction test?

Ship 28's transport stand is back near the OLM and Ship QD arm is configured for potential retraction, this indicates that maybe a destack is coming up soon. Another option could be a retraction test of the arm. Whatever happens, we'll be watching: nsf.live/starbase

@BocaRoad That is not the correct closure document

Primary Date: Possible Road Closure for December 29, 2023 from 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. cameroncountytx.gov/temporary-and-…

@dispassionatejo @CSI_Starbase @LeafeonEX The stream has a watermark but it was cropped out

@NASASpaceflight They also moved at least one of the forward flaps during that test

Ship 25 dreaming of Hawaii. Aft flap tests took place before dawn. nsf.live/starbase

@Alexphysics13 That‘s the API response and not the website code

Looks like SpaceX could potentially be targeting November 13th according to the website code . . . Orrrrrr... this is just some random date on that code that just happens to be within the "mid-November" window that the company gave, nothing special 😅

@LachlanWall01 @VickiCocks15 @LabPadre Because S25‘s stand was still next to the tower at that time. It was later moved to the suborbital pads

@NeedPizza42 @VickiCocks15 @LabPadre How could you possibly tell.

S25's transport stand was removed from the LC last night. Looks like she's staying put for a while now, up atop of B9. @LabPadre #VRCam

@BaegSamad @Raptor_54321 @Alexphysics13 The tower sections are at robert‘s road but they are not the starship tower ones

@Raptor_54321 @Alexphysics13 Section going up at SLC-40 for the new crew access tower and they are not the ones at Robert's road.

I am so so glad that we can finally put to rest the theory that the Starship tower sections at Roberts Road are for the SLC-40 crew tower.

@CosmicalChief @FelixSchlang Where is this located?

Nice for Starbase to give us a site status board in full view now. #Starbase #Starship #SpaceX 📸 Me for WAI Media @FelixSchlang

@Brodie_Friesen @ThePrimalDino The hold down clamps aren’t visible. The two grey things at the bottom of the rocket are the core stage fueling connections

More evidence towards my “SLS is becoming the default rocket” theory

@KSpaceAcademy You talking for 4 hours straight about how excited you are that you finally have a graph

BTW... What's the video about, based on the thumbnail?

Wait til yall get a load of the next video... 😅

@ThePrimalDino Is this to scale?

Ariane 5 Vs Ariane 6

@dpoddolphinpro @Alexphysics13 @NASASpaceflight Will these also be used on the launch streams?

A project that's been in my head for well over a year now finally gets to see the light of day, thanks to @Alexphysics13 and @NASASpaceflight. See it in action for the first time here: youtu.be/ZkhVhUsu65M In just 20 seconds, any editor can generate a graphic that showcases a launch's trajectory, altitude, and other mission information. Finally, anyone can understand orbits. We're using actual astrophysics equations inside of @Adobe After Effects to generate accurate, to-scale diagrams of one of the most difficult subjects to understand. All in a companion graphic that will accompany every launch we cover on This Week in Spaceflight. I'm very happy that this channel is the first to make launches more understandable through this method. Hopefully, a vast number of people who had no idea what a "43 degree, 200x300km" orbit was, now do. And we're gonna do it for every launch, every week. Oh, and we can generate doglegs - like for our lovely east-coast southernly Starlinks.

Discord is currently unusable... yay

@SpaceOffshore Is that droneship moving on its own or is there a tug offscreen?

Of Course I Still Love You droneship returns with the goods 🚀

@SpaceTfrs Is it correct that there is no image attached?

Cape Canaveral/Kennedy Space Center, FL temporary restriction: From June 03, 2023 at 1559 UTC to To June 03, 2023 at 1701 UTC Altitude: From the surface up to and including 18,000ft tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/det… Likely:CRS2 SpX-28 (Dragon) (rocketlaunch.live/launch/crs2-sp…)

@diegopullano @CSI_Starbase ElonTime.lol

@CSI_Starbase There goes the 6-8 weeks initial prediction. Has anyone made a comparison chart between Time and Elon’s Time?

The amount of new structural reinforcements on the Orbital Launch mount far exceeds what I was expecting. That's a good thing... It seems like the first phase of base stabilization may be nearing completion. Before installation of the water system, we should probably expect to see a massive concrete foundation (Pile cap) constructed. Based on past observations, I would guess 2-4 weeks until they are ready to install the water cooled plates.
