SpaceX Falcon 9 sets new record with Telstar 19V launch from SLC-40
SpaceX Falcon 9 sets new record with Telstar 19V launch from SLC-40 https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2018...9-telstar-19v- launch/ From above: It has a mass at launch of 7,080 kilograms (15,600 lb) ? making it the heaviest payload that Falcon 9 has carried to geostationary transfer orbit. Also: Sunday's launch used a newly-constructed booster, B1047, which was the second Block 5 core to fly. The live stream of the launch (replay available on YouTube) showed that this Block 5 core was successfully recovered on the autonomous drone ship Of Course I Still Love You. So, quite impressive that even with this record setting, very heavy, launch SpaceX was able to recover the first stage. Jeff -- All opinions posted by me on Usenet News are mine, and mine alone.
