Iridium-8 Mission
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- SpaceX is targeting Friday, January 11 for the launch of 10 Iridium NEXT satellites from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. This is the eighth and final set of satellites in a series of 75 total satellites that SpaceX will launch for Iridium’s next generation global satellite constellation, Iridium NEXT.
The instantaneous launch opportunity is at 7:31 a.m. PST, or 15:31 UTC, and the satellites will begin deployment approximately an hour after launch.
Falcon 9’s first stage for the Iridium-8 mission previously supported the Telstar 18 VANTAGE mission in September 2018. Following stage separation, SpaceX will attempt to land Falcon 9’s first stage on the “Just Read the Instructions” droneship, which will be stationed in the Pacific Ocean.
Not their first launch but still how happy the team is after each stage. Makes me love it.
Thats more because rockets are usually not reliable. So they have to test and test and then hope it works during launch
its because a rocket launch is still a "one of a kind" thing, and the rocket itself is not manufactured like a car or a computer
I think that, when you've been part of creating something like this, watching it fly is a treat.
@@plyushevo Flaming the comment above would be almost too easy.
I applaud every time I drive my Jaguar. Yay, I didn't explode!
They really have perfected this launch business. Makes an incredibly complex launch,first stage recovery, and deployment look simple. Well done all at Spacex,I never get bored watching these launches.
For anyone knowing in fact they are not simple...is what keeps them from ever becoming boring.
I worked on the simulator for the original Iridium project, glad to see it was not canned, but has progressed!!
Who is excited for the BFR and Dragon launches this year? 🚀
It's not called BFR anymore and it's not launching this year.
Monokuma bfs will
GO FUCK YOURSELF YOU FILTHY DEMOCRAT ELON IS REPUBLICAN AS MOST SCIENTISTS AT SPACE X GO FUCK YOURSELF
Wow what an interesting comment section so far.
@@thelonewanderer420 nope, Starhopper isn't going into soace, it's not designed to. Like grasshopper, it's just a testbed, not the final rocket.
Inspiring as always. When I lose hope in humanity from watching cable news I just watch one of these launches and I'm restored.
Life tip: dont watch cable news, you will be informed by friends and online anyways.
@Reality Shift Tin foil hats will protect you from Skynet.
@Reality Shift - Wow. That's quite pessimistic. I see this launch as another stepping stone to mankind's true destiny to be a space-faring species. Mankind always needs a frontier to keep pushing on. We are not meant to die on this pale blue dot.
@Reality Shift How will a sattelite constillation help artificial intelligence? And why would faster communication make us blind. I can accsess information via internet I couldn't have dreamed of 50 years ago.
@Reality Shift wtf dude
Never gets old! Congrats team! Cant wait till you get that droneship cam sorted ;)
dont think they will sadly. theres not really a point to spend all that money to get the feed live, when they now just get it a minute later.
They should use a flying drone camera in stand off mode.
@@Seafox0011 They have done that early on but it's expensive in both equipment and labor. In the end they aren't a movie company.
The sole purpose of the Iridium program was to provide coms to the drone ship...didn't you know?
@@40fire81 And where do you rent an autonomous boat? The legal exclusion area for humans is many miles. That's where the recovery vessels and personal are waiting. It is over the horizon from them so cameras are not so good at those distances. Safety regulations don't allow anyone closer than that. Also they are sometimes 600 KM off shore so you better make sure it's a big autonomous boat.
John is the best, he should cover every launch.
Agreed. By far the best host. So much more enthusiasm that every one else.
Of all single-host webcasts, I prefer Lauren more. Her presentation style looks more 'natural' and 'easy understandable, everyone-friendly' commentary, like-a-real-news-anchor style.
Nevertheless, single-host ones featuring John are also great; he is the best in providing all the technical details of the launch and deployment profile. So I do not be surprised that the rocket fans like you guys prefer him.
"Go for throttle bucket" gotta love em.
*_Two Years, 75 Satellites, 8 Launches, and 5 Landings_*
Really? Cool guy.
I now another one: Ostap Maria Bender Bеy. Turkish citizen.
And the rest
And how much trash and rubbish in Earth suburbs, filled with rests of old satellites, some so tiny as a pee ??? Who will launch, once, a solution to clean all this stuff ????
Nothing to be proud of, (my humble point of view...)
P.S. i think Swiss Institute of Technologies, are working on a solution... But of course it is not as glorious as spy satellites ...
@@yvoryshade6969 Funny using satellites to complain about satellites.
@@williamgreene4834 oh these bloody females.... 😂😂😂!!! go up there, and find another way.... without Satellites, if possible. That s all but funny ! I don t complain! I just point out a problem which, we, so smart humans, created, like all others about this planet... Oh but how stupid am I, there are no problems... we live in a perfect and pure heaven, surrounded by satellites, don t we ?
It always sounds like they do these launches from the SpaceX cafeteria.
I thought that too: my guess is that they were serving breakfast in Hawthorne.
Tim Dodd, the Everyday Astronaut, discussed that in his coverage of this launch. Apparently the mission control room is, literally, directly above the company cafeteria, with no sound proofing. Hence . . .
@@odysseusrex5908 Well that would explain the background noise.
@@smg1707 Their facilities are all extremely integrated to promote rapid communication between all employees. Part of the Lean thinking to cut costs as much as possible so the company can be as sustainable as possible while working towards the ultimate goal of a Mars manned mission. Especially since they are trying to do it without massive government funding.
"Oh it seems we have a rapid unscheduled disassembly! 8-O wait. John! no popcorn in the microwave during deployments!"
I liked solely because of the commentator. He stayed enthusiastic till the very end.
Yeah, i love this guy. He's the best of all hosts so far for me.
Kinda reminds me of archery commentators
But he's not such a stand-up guy. . .
(gasp) LOL
Totally agree. The stream feels a little empty and quiet without him, then he speaks up and brings it to life!
John Insprucker is everyone's favorite dad
This will go a long way to keeping track of planes and ships around the world so when trouble arises they should be tracked more accurately... Thank you Iridium and SpaceX for getting them there.
Always a good day when Space X is launching, and fantastic to hear a successful final Iridium mission! 🚀❕❕❕
SpaceX: the future of *interstellar travel*
perhaps!
Well, interplanetary anyway.
Let's start with interplanetary and learning how to travel and inhabit multiple planets in the solar system.
Might need a bit more man power for interstellar travel. But interplanetary travel in our solar system is something we can master first

I've been following Iridium saga for 2 years. Great to see its success.
Way to go spacex!
That separation was Elegant
Have to admit they pick awesome music :)
Agreed!
Great partnership --- Iridium abd SpaceX! Congratulations to everyone who had a part in this enterprise!
y'all should get Morgan Freeman to do the count down
🤣😂😂
I'm split between Kermit and Scooby-Doo... Think I'm leaning towards Kermie...
Yeah. I like this guy though
The sun doesn't rise in the morning until Morgan Freeman narrates it
*he should to the entire webcast commentary
It’s awesome to have private companies like SpaceX do missions and continue space exploration without the need of government funding (especially with the government shutdown)
Unfortunately, they're not able to crew rate dragon until NASA gets funding. The falcon 9 with crew dragon is sitting on the pad waiting.
Can this shutdown end now!? Russia is ending the soyuz program next year!!
knd775 Good point, that’s sad to hear
@@zfilms4858 wait, what? I'm checking the news and program of Roskosmos right now and see no signs of that. Could you please give me a source for this?
@@Stan-oc1nu turns out their going to replace to soyuz! "Federation" spacecraft. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federation_(spacecraft) (Also, someone pitched the idea to have the ageing system be used for lunar flybys for tourists!)
Yay...John is back! He should be the permanent voice of Spacex.
gotta love John's enthusiasm!
Great program! 75 Iridium satellites 📡 launched without a single hiccup. Well done to all at SpaceX & Iridium!
The countdown voice is awesome

Awesome launch!! Congrats Space X on another successful mission and recovery of the first stage!! These launch videos NEVER get old!! I have always dreamed of seeing a live launch some day! From an avid space fan from the 60's Congrats again Space X team!!
I always get hungry watching space X launches. I can hear everyone in the background having their food.
Nice that you show 1st stage speed when landing! Improvements has been made on the stream. Nice launch and very inspiring as always!
It's incredible how quickly and late it slows down. Still supersonic at 5km!
@@tHoM0r Yeah I thought about that too. And it looked like it wobbled there for a second but it landed straight in the centre so :p
@@tHoM0r Also a ton of deceleration from aero-drag. Actually no engines are running from about mach 3 to below supersonic, which still amazes me.
@@assarstromblad3280 They actually fly the booster at a 1 to 1 glide ratio to help it slow down and maneuver. It has to stand back up to vertical to land. I think that's the wobble you saw. Go back and watch the end of the entry burn. You should see it go from vertical during the burn to it's laid over flight angle. Granted it is a giant flying pipe, but according to Elon a 1 to 1 glide ratio is still flying. :)
@@williamgreene4834 Thanks. I thought they only did that when they landed on land (to avoid a crash with the landing pad if there happens to be a failure), but sure it sounds stupid not to do that when you land on a ship. So i guess you're right :p
The iridium launches are my favorite because of the mini sat releases! Great work SpaceX!!!
Love how they're letting us know that they might lose signal now.
Its too bad tho, they could easily have a drone fly off the boat, park it 200m away and film it touching down! And then land the drone back on the boat. 😊 But come to think of it, if its a commercial drone like dji mavic, you need someone to control it relatively close by...
@@wildhund78 There is no reason for spaceX to even devote the time to that. Would it be nice?yeah!! But it's hardly what musk is worried about:)
TriVyte Official for bfr it will be worth it. At least for the first few launches. :)
it would be not hard for them to do it, i think it might be a good strategy to catch the atention of more people. The images would be certainly good
@@TriVyteOfficial It pays for thee other projects. money is not unlimited
40 successful launches in a row, nice work Space X.
Glad I was actually able to catch this flight. Watched at work and felt good lol
Felicidades a todo el equipo de Spacex, siguen creciendo y demostrando su capacidad.
Vi la transmisión casi por completo desde la empresa en que trabajo.
John Insprucker, you are the best! Always a pleasure to hear this guys voice and enthusiasm.
This was my first launch! Thank you so much for that experience, SpaceX!
You are an adult now :D
We finally got to see Antarctica :)
At what time?
@@wodenoftheangles3339 55:31
Ya they finally got their remote sensing license from the Gov't.
@@brandonthompson9957 Thanks.
John - best speaker and most awesome voice
Congratulations to SpaceX and Iridium! Well done!
Well done SpaceX. I always love watching your launches
I still find it incredible how far SpaceX pushed the boundaries of what's possible. It used to cost hundreds of millions of dollars for a single launch, now it's tens of millions, sure it's still bloody expensive, but that in itself is an incredible achievement. Now we have self landing of first stage rockets. What's next...? Refueling tankers in space for a possible Mars mission?
Always waching this to hear the sound of the crew after landing...
The best timeline to be alive.
This is the future... Thank you Elon!! Bye from Italy
Hi from italy
@@Kwabenajnrsamuel hii
One of the rare occasions where living in The Future is so cool. Great job, SpaceX!
Terrific visuals and excellent narration, exciting!
Stage 1 Telemetry between seperation and Landing, not sure if this was a first of, but I like it.
Not a first - but cool indeed. They should move 1st stage to the left screen though and give us 2nd stage on the right -simultaneously.
I prefer Stage 2 Telemetry, it displays how the mission launch phase is proceeding in overall. Every single-shot mission has different launch profile thus different speed and attitude at separation and SECO. [Although I also want Stage 1 telemetry parallel with also, but if I have to choose one, I prefer Stage 2 because it is mission-critical.] However, on similar profile missions, I agree that they switch to the Stage 1 telemetry because Stage 2 profile is well known by then.
I've certainly never seen them do it before. I was certainly happy to see that.
This is like a one of those futuristic news for every big event that will be take for granted in the far future
Those shots from Antactica were awesome.
Antarctica? You're off by a hemisphere. :)
@@TheEvilmooseofdoom Nope that is definitely Antarctica buddy
It really is awesome watching the globe turn there (in the live Sim).
@@jontymills8161 Are talking footage from the 2nd stage? I admit I didn't watch past the landing. :)
@@TheEvilmooseofdoom yea good shots of it starting around 54 minutes
Never get sick of seeing these launches and landings.
Best of luck space x for your upcoming mission
SpaceX you’re awesome!!
John, you are by far my favorite!
Another happy landing.
Another great day for space industry. Lovely!
nailing it again!
would love to get this in 4K
Just another day of SpaceX hauling the mail.
Is this actually getting routine already?
Like someone's idea of Morgan Freeman doing the countdown.
Whoever thought one day, one could watch launches on your phone, in real time.
We're living in the future...
Whoever thought one day, one could watch ROCKETS LANDING (ON PITCHING AND ROLLING BARGES IN THE OCEAN NO LESS) on your phone, in real time. Yep this is def the future!
Soon you will be on a similar rocket and complain about the food. Flying was a crazy dream for thousands of years, and in just a few decades became so common, you don't even think about it.
I chuckle every time they land a Falcon because they were always told "It can't be done!"
Consider this, we're also living in the past. Imagine what things will be like even twenty years from now, to say nothing of fifty or a hundred.
Pony express.
Congrats! Great job!
Damn it!!! Missed it again!!! I’m 15
Miles away and never seen a launch. Each time I’ve actually gone outside to watch... it’s delayed. Whenever I don’t make it... it’s a go.
Shame that. I'm from England so envious of your position, you have to go for the rest of us ! :-)
Get the SpacexNow app on your phone and never miss a launch again. It even gives rocket status after launch.
I am 10000 miles away and would do anything to watch a launch. I will eat my hat if I don't make it to the first full stack BFR launch. I want to be shaken to my bones by its shock waves.
william Greene thanks. Didn’t know about that! Every time I go outside and wait, it’s rescheduled and my son gets disappointed and then I hear about its launch the day after. I’ll get that app now. I’ve seen a couple ballistic missile launches from my car years ago but was more like 45 miles away then.
@@peter-radiantpipes2800 Try getting as close as you can. It's one of those things that is totally different than seeing it on TV. It's well worth the trouble, but that's just my opinion.
Test Shot Starfish’s music should really be more popular.
I think you can hear stepper motor of the camera tracker after the take off. If not what’s that sound?
Who the hell names these drone ships xD love it
They are actually the names of Spaceships from the "Culture Series" written by Iain M. Banks , Elon is a fan of the books!
@@AshwinCSCheekati they should turn these books to movies man that would be interesting :DD
Still amazing...
Bravo encore à SPACEX et Elon pour ce dernier lancement IRIDIUM et la récupération du 1er étage. On attend avec impatience CREW DRAGON !
27:00 here's the landing
Or lack there of
Amazing tecnology that can't mantain a steady video feed at the best moment: landing the rocket.
Great launch
Absolutely Awesome! Go SpaceX!
Поздравляю команду
SpaceX с очередным успешным запуском!
Так Держать!
brilliant.
I am always tried to thank you by putting everything in one sentence. But I couldn’t. All what I can say is Thank you for giving us hope every time you launch these beautiful rockets.💚
I can’t believe they went from grasshoppers and soon they will launch BFR’s... makes me so happy
This will never get old. SpaceX is one of the reasons I find discovering the future to be so supremely tantalizing; yet is unfolding through rapidly evolving iterations. Making so many of our dreams come true before our very eyes. Congratulations and kudos for doing something no one else can do -- for cheaper than their worse solution; it's amazing.
2019 is going to be a great year for SpaceX! We have Crew Dragon test flights, Starship hopper tests and 2 Falcon Heavy b5 launches. Cant wait!
He best shots ever. Thanks for sharing the experience
Hats off to u guys!!
Awesome job. Love it when there is a landing of the first stage.
We love you longtime
Clean sweep! I'll miss these launches.
Orb Ufos everywhere. Faster than the Rocket. Nice 😎
I remember 'Explorers on the Moon' The Adventures of Tintin, and how the rocket launched and landed. It was pure Science Fiction. But here we are and it's almost becoming routine. Wow.
Beautiful launch ! One of my favorites so far with Saocom 1a.
Sorry ?
Oh no, of course I missed it... "102 minutes ago", they say
BLOATED GOAT
Thank you Mr. Musk and SpaceX for such a beautiful demonstration of American technology. BG
what a surprise at the countdown! Iridium Boss
Good launch. Looking forward to Dragon now 🐉
I dont know if they can really do it soon cos of the government shutdown, some federal regulations may get in the way.
Currently scheduled for February, if we are lucky. It is being held up by the government shutdown, and, unless and until the politicians get their act together, that's just going to be that.
love these launches...
Congrats from the Philippines!! 👍👍👍
Take note @ula this is how you do it
Rip nrol
we are still waiting the launch of december from ULA with his delta heavy scrubbed.... still TBD....
@@techmccat1809 much better then atlas 5 or ariene 5's ascent profile though. a lot flatter, with less steering losses and gravity losses
@@techmccat1809 i am, that lofted trajectory isnt ideal, and still centaur burns very off axis, so steering losses are big.
Falcon 9 second stage doesnt ever have to pitch off course, since it has a sufficiently h8gh twr to keep pushing tge apogee ahead of itself.
ULA plays KSP, that's pretty good PR for the space community. The difference with SpaceX is they're able to appeal to the toxic meme community. ULA has good PR via their CEO interacting with people on twitter and playing KSP
Well done spacex..from india
I have questions about the theory of woven universes
The woven universes are connected together in the cosmic carpet
But these woven universes are separate in time
Because there are new universes because of spatial expansion
1-The first question is about the density of matter and energy in the universe
How much energy and matter is there in the universe?
2-The second question is about the curvature of the universe
Is it a zero curvature or positive curvature or negative curvature ???
3-The third question about the extension of the place of the universe
Is the extension of the universe final or has an infinite stretch?
If we live in the Infinite Universe, this is evidence of the existence of the woven universes
Please send my three questions to cosmologists
Spectacular! This never gets old.
4, 6, 9. PERFECTION.
Awesome signal!!! Getting a lot better and the rocket seems to be saving a little more all around!
Amazing Launch.
If you start the Spotify playlist (Iridium-8 Launch Soundtrack) at T-00:12:55 (3:04) you will hear Brian Johnson scream "THUNDERSTRUCK!" as the rocket launches!! SpaceX know how to put on a show, well done guys!
Top landing onto just read the instructions. Well done guy’s and gals, at Space X. You nailed it again ! Another successful mission completed. Congratulations !

Hey SpaceX, on April 1st you should do a livestream of just the intro screen with music with a title like 'First Manned Mission to the ISS'
Really like the comments of the procedures!
superb space x - congratulations from the UK.
Two words: Well Done!
