Falcon 9 deorbitation seen from Poland! May 2, 2024. Gases from the second stage of the rocket.

Gases flowing from the second stage engines of the Falcon 9 rocket made a wonderful show in the sky on May 2, 2024 at around 9:55 p.m.! Everything was perfectly visible to the naked eye for a few minutes!

Even Falcon9 loves Poland.

What a great time lapse video.

[@michalbednar4962]

Awesome footage, glad you caught this. It was quite visible from Prague too

[@thenightvisionlab]

Awesome catch! Congrats !

[@pepitoo.c.5639]

Its nice to wake up and see that MrSuperMole got a new video :) Always an amazing video.

Cool capture, mate! I heard a similar effect was observed on may30 from central Ukraine.

[@Izai-nm4qs]

Super

We also seen an Rocket Deorbitation from Russia in the Skies Of Iraq In April

Excellent & Perfect capture 💯💯💯 Hi Friend 👋

[@allanhmelnitski978]

Saw that in Estonia Tallinn

[@MoxAxoM]

I think I saw this from a diferent angle near Koper, Slovenija.

[@benbrookes1738]

Saw it in Denmark too! Though my photo is lousy compared to yours 😀

[@user-jc6ef9xw1y]

مذهل ❤ شكرا لك 😊

A ja spać poszedłem, bo chcialem sie w końcu wyspać 🙈😅

A tu zamiast timelapsa byłby fajny film wysokiej jakości, ale przycisk REC w drugim aparacie jakoś nie do końca się wcisnął.... Boli...

Sehr schön. Woher hattest Du die Information, das Die Rakete dort zu sehen ist? Weiter so, super Video 👍🏽

[@SausageSavior]

that was lucky shoot almost everyone at this time was waiting for aurora borealis

[@MrSuperMole]

Danke. Ich wartete auf das Nordlicht und eine Rakete erschien. Ich hatte einfach Glück.

Luar biasa

I saw it in California

[@user-oe1ws2wo5x]

😁👍

[@Zralock79]

That hour doesn't match the local time when the rocket body was flying over the eastern part of Poland. It had to be in one hour later because Poland uses the daylight saving time. The body was making flyby over Poland 2.5 hours after it launched. Or it wasn't Falcon rocket's second stage but something different. BTW. I highly doubt that anything would be intentionally deorbited over the Europe. This is commonly happening over Pacific Ocean.

[@MrSuperMole]

All orbital data match - it's already been checked. The deorbitation process took place over Poland - the engines were fired to reduce speed and lower the orbit.

[@Zralock79]

@@MrSuperMole Well... it does not... let's make some math. On May 2nd at 20:36 CEST Falcon rocket launched two satellites to a polar orbit (so it was heading from California to the south). I asume that the inclination of the orbit is around 90 degrees (unfortunatelly Space-Track do not register this flight yet). To get from California to the latitude of Poland at orbital speed it will take you something around 70 minutes (the whole orbit takes around 90 minutes). Vandenberg's longitude is 120 degrees West...so at the other side of the globe it s 60 East. In an hour the earth rotates 15 degrees. So exactly at 21:40 CEST the rocket would be at longitude 45 East... and that is more east than Moscow (Russia). And the next revolution will be at 23:10 CEST... and this time it will be at longitude 22 East which is over the eastern part ov Poland. You see? It is not possible to be over Europe at 21:55 CEST for this body as you write. At 21:55 CEST it could be somewhere over the Earth's North Pole at altitude of 500 km so it was not visible from any part of Poland.

[@MrSuperMole]

TLE data confirms it was a Falcon 9.

[@Zralock79]

@@MrSuperMole And what is your source of those TLE datas? Because I am usualy using TLE from Space-Track web page... but as I mentioned, this launche isn't there yet.

Jednak Falcon 9 :) Na początku nie wiadomo było co to, teraz już jest pewność.
