Looks like they deployed at 105 payloads. I missed it if any were actually televised.

Should be a beautiful launch, clear as a bell.
Don't think we will see any jellyfish effect as it's launching quite a bit past the Sunset time of 5:51 P.M., it will be too far in the shadow for reflections off gas clouds. |

Usually I can see the launches to the southeast very well from our house north of Okeechobee, we're going to be driving up the turnpike to Orlando International to pick up my future son-in-law. Might have to pull over.

Never gets old. Hell yeah...I'm in Fort Myers and it was one of the better launches I've seen. I was able to watch the 2nd stage for quite a long time. And I love those landings. Thanks to you guys who keep this thread updated. |
