Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Chokey: looks like they modified the octograbber https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EwDlzZ2WgAUpUxy?format=jpg&name=large I think that's how they fold the legs back up. Watched the process a few months ago. Take the weight off the booster with a crane , fold up the legs and swing it over to a trailer and lay it down horizontally. Except the one I watched pranged a couple of legs and they had to take a couple completely off , folded up the other 2 though. |

I had a visible pass a few minutes ago and the sky went from 90% clear to 90% cloudy one minute before the satellites were to come out of Earth's shadow.

It's early march and SpaceX has already beaten ULA's and Ariane's 2020 numbers in both tonnage and number of launches... A month from now it'll probably have already beaten their combined numbers!

I could see the satellites about 20 minutes after deployment if it were clear.
Awesome. Heavens-above has the element set up. If you live east of Colorado Springs, you may be able to see it as well. Verify your location in this website. Expect to need binoculars Heaven-Above starlink passes I will stay up a little if anyone needs help trying to look for them. The ground track is from the tip of Baja California, overhead a little west of Dallas-Ft Worth area then to the bottom of Lake Michigan. If the link above does not work, try this one. Then click "Starlink L21 launch was successful Check below for predictions for your location and update your location." Here is the pass from Dallas. Easy to find. Passes between the two end stars in the Big Dipper handle about 639 AM local. Allow a minute or so early/late and scan a little around the path. |

At the rate SpaceX is going, they will have individual boosters that will have lifted more to orbit this year than ULA and Arianespace...
