| Video Discription | Problem starts around 4:00 with fluid visible and ice forming on 2nd stage Insulation cover. Initial Orbit- 295 km by 138 km, at 52 minutes 2nd stage failed to re-ignite (RUD) for a 1 second burn raise orbit to 296 km by 286 km. Statement from SpaceX- During tonight’s Falcon 9 launch of Starlink from Space Launch Complex 4 East at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, the second stage engine did not complete its second burn. As a result, the Starlink satellites were deployed into a lower than intended orbit. SpaceX has made contact with five of the satellites so far and is attempting to have them raise orbit using their ion thrusters. Musk provided further updates on the situation: “We’re updating satellite software to run the ion thrusters at their equivalent of warp 9. Unlike a Star Trek episode, this will probably not work, but it’s worth a shot. The satellite thrusters need to raise orbit faster than atmospheric drag pulls them down or they burn up.” Swings an roundabouts-- The 1st stage nailed its landing... :-) [tjaLmk8-iKw] |
