Encapsulation complete.

BlueBirds 8, 9, and 10 are now secured inside Falcon 9's fairing ahead of launch.

A stacked configuration powered by advanced carbon fiber structures, engineered to withstand ascent forces comparable to carrying a fully loaded space shuttle orbiter during launch. 💪

Next stop: launch. 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

Built in Texas. Broadband from space. Designed to connect directly to everyday smartphones. 🌎📶📱

$ASTS this mechanical connector holds pipe flanges together.

I added the colored sketch to show a cross section of how that works.

I guess most people come in contact with this type of mechanism when handling 120 liter plastic barrels.

I’ve used both extensively.

+ Starlink is focused on "attacking terrestrial markets" from space

+ Starlink Mobile will become "table stakes" and “others (MNOs)” will have to come up with comparable solutions to compete

+ Connectivity overall is a $1.6 trillion a year TAM

Progress continues at LC-36. Starting to move GS2s from the Integration Facility to Rocket Park as we clean up and rebuild the pad. A couple more GS2s and Never Tell Me The Odds to follow. Great work, Team Blue.

Some LC-36 updates. Now that we’ve had access to the pad and integration facility we can share a bit of good news. The propellant farm, oxygen, liquid hydrogen and LNG tanks are all in good shape. This is good luck because these are very long lead items. The water tower is also good. The big support tower is damaged, but it can be repaired in place rather than torn down and replaced. The booster “Never Tell Me The Odds” and the three GS-2s that were onsite in the integration facility also look good.

I’ve seen some speculation that we might move directly to the 9x4 configuration, but we won’t do that. Rate manufacturing of 7x2 is going well, and we’re going to continue that at pace as planned and store the stages for use. In addition, we had already been working for some time on eliminating our transporter-erector in favor of an alternative vertical conop, and we’ll now go directly to that; so we don’t need a new transporter-erector.

We will fly again before the end of this year. Gradatim Ferociter.
