Starlink group 17-23 lifts off through a blanket of fog over Vandenberg SFB on its way to orbit and marking flight 20 for booster 1081

@asherbphotos It kinda gives Delta-IV, I’m absolutely in love with this config

[Frank @Diver2441]

Big Fred in the house, going back through photos from Travis. The C-5 deserves more love, absolutely insane how big this machine is, totally wild seeing it lift off and fly, the scale of it all is hard to comprehend and capture.

According to https://t.co/jdYMHtnVim HASTE DID launch after our on-site watchers retreat back home (some time after 06:45 UTC) - if anyone saw a red dot in the skies in DC etc. after 2:45 am EDT please report here 🙃

"...WALLOPS LAUNCH WAS SUCCESSFUL..."

Correction this should read group 17-43, I haven’t paid for a check mark so I can’t edit posts at this time.

Starlink group 17-23 streaks to space from Vandenberg SFB aboard Falcon 9 booster 1097 on its 10th flight. This mission carried 21 starlink mini satellites and a pair of starshields for the DoD.

And a stack of all 100 photos to show the full arc of tonight's launch as seen from the surprisingly chilly Bay Area. Nice to get back to shooting launches after a couple weeks of downtime!

[Frank @Diver2441]

As usual here's a time lapse of tonight's launch consisting of 100 2.5 second exposures, shot at 35mm, f/1.4, ISO 200 and assembled in photoshop.

[Frank @Diver2441]

The clock is running and the sky over the Bay Area is clear, after a few weeks off it’s nice to get back to shooting launches!

[Frank @Diver2441]

@spacecoastwest Good luck! I’ll be shooting from up in the Bay Area. Seems like surf beach closures have been very inconsistent lately

I need to watch Project Hail Mary again…. Again

[Frank @Diver2441]

@rocketgobrrrrr @asherbphotos Assuming the integration building is open on the side facing the hangar the umbilical would have to be to the side or at the back on the ocean side so probably a better view, just a guess though

[NASA Watch @NASAWatch]

From a friend of @NASAWatch at @FinancialTimes : "I'm hoping to speak to anyone at #NASA who worked with #Aerochrome infrared film, or anyone at the agency involved in aerial photography remote sensing, mapping or low-earth observation from the 1960s to early 2000s. If that's you, please get in touch with me at mischa.frankl-duval -at- https://t.co/a8R8uW6Tsd " FYI @ingallsimages @johnkrausphotos

@asherbphotos @Amazonleo @LaunchHeavenX Incredible shot man!

[Frank @Diver2441]

Hoping everyone at the cape is safe, that was a catastrophic blast from New Glenn, terrible setback for Blue and Artemis.

[Frank @Diver2441]

@asherbphotos Incredible amount of work and growth for just one year! Here’s to many more, onward and upward!
