June 23, 2024.

This is just after stage separation, you can see the booster and two fairing halves fall away!

I filmed this from up on a hill in Fremont, 200mm lens, cropped in a little and stabilized in Blender. Contrast adjusted too.

I should have set the iso to be lower so it wasn't so noisy, but this was my first time watching and filming a launch! It was so exciting to see it go, despite being ~450km away!

Welcome to the GOES-U Launch Discussion and Updates Thread! First Falcon Heavy launch of the year!

B1061 joins B1062 in the "21 flights" club, B1067 reaches 20 flights, B1063 at 18 flights, and B1069 and B1071 are tied for 4th place at 16 flights. Crazy that 112 flights were completed by just these six boosters!
