BB8 has finally settled out. BB9 and BB10 are moving up slightly. If you look at BB6, right as the drag started up the company announced it was unfolded, which meant it was unfolded a day or two earlier and they tested everything was operation. See for yourself.
This is Abraham Lincoln. It has spent over 200 days at sea in support of Epic Fury and the close up is of itβs AN/SPS-49 radar
The US Navy maintains the AN/SPS-49 on approximately 37 larre surface vessels. As does many of her allies.

New TLE. BB8 is unfolded. Announcement coming tonight or tomorrow is my guess. Wooo. Gotta love the company unfolding 2,400 square feet of phased arrays in near perfect union on three Bluebirds. Hell yeah! Here's a song.

Depending on the size it's for storing BBs in anticipation of launch, that way they can keep the transport cadence between Midland and Florida. It could also be for storing the ground support equipment necessary for integration. Either way, it makes sense to have a facility like this close to the launch site if you are entering an extended campaign.
@ArchCordileone Anything you can do to help us down here in the Diocese of Monterey? We have a huge Catholic community that would love to have the Latin Mass available!
BlueBird 11 arrives at Cape Canaveral.
BlueBirds 12 and 13 will be following shortly. Next stop, orbital launch in the first half of August.πππππππππππππ
