SpaceX Falcon 9 mission with Astra 1P/SES-24

ASTRA 1P/SES-24, a classic wide-beam satellite, will support SES’s prime TV neighbourhood and enable content owners, private and public broadcasters across Germany, France and Spain to continue broadcasting satellite TV channels in the highest-picture quality in the most cost-efficient manner. It will be based on the full electric and powerful Spacebus NEO platform developed by Thales Alenia Space and already flight proven in orbit.

Good morning team NSF your're great ❤

[@sraMoTyawetaG]

Great coverage NSF! 😊

[@m.theresa1385]

1:01:43 nice view of the drone ship ‘just read the instructions’.

[@bobbreit5244]

Cool slo-mo kids. Thanks.

[@Travlinmo]

320 landing… it feels like they hit 300 yesterday.

[@zapfanzapfan]

Bit disappointed satellite deploy wasn't seen. Some insulation blanket or something obstructing the view?

[@gregnestor1217]

I would like to see a second stage re-entry how come they never film that for us to watch.

[@sraMoTyawetaG]

Falcon 9 second stages are expended. Re-entry would be just a quick fireball and, probably, somewhat unpredictability as far as location and timing.

[@juliefizpatrick513]

👍👍👍

[@SpexFPV]

Looked like in interesting SES, was that a somewhat weird startup, or was it just me?

[@peeperleviathan2839]

I saw when the livestream started, I guess I forgot

[@donparker6838]

What about SES3 where the booster is slowed down to burn in the atmosphere?

[@vieczurable]

1:02:41 top of the screen - what is that boomerang flying?? Few secs later on the left - what are those two things zipping trough? And few seconds

[@megweaver]

Ice crystals from the engine bleed nozzles...

[@vieczurable]

@@megweaver "Boomerang" seems to be pretty away from the engine and those tiny bits on the left (especially a second one) are moving at irrelevant angles.

[@MrMangleberg]

Why do the camera views look the same from 1:27:19 left to right. Motor stays in the same direction

[@nobody2685]

The views do not look the same, if you look closely you can obviously tell that it’s the other side of the engine nozzle.

[@ubsa_space]

Something blocked the satelite view,hmm🤔

[@LEXX790]

Love the mod they are using for the high rez clouds.

[@jeremychrzan]

Amazing footage from a great team! Thanks NSF!

[@anthonycamilleri7297]

welcome back falcon9 launch never gets old

[@iward940]

SpaceX sure seems to like scheduling launches immediately after Rocket Lab lately.

[@Pottery4Life]

Considering SpX launch cadence, I would say RL schedules their launched just prior to SpX launches. Neither is true.

[@dionysus2006]

All flights launch to the east from Cape Canaveral

[@anthonycamilleri7297]

thank you all at nsf
