These shots are going to be great. It's so clear that they're still able to get a visual on stage 2 after MECO, and since it's up in the sunlight you can still see the stage itself - not just the exhaust plume. Very cool.

Definitely one of the most picturesque launches they've ever had.

Looks like they found an IR camera? I hadn't seen that before.

SpaceX is targeting Wednesday, February 2 for Falcon 9’s launch of NROL-87 to orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The instantaneous launch window is at 12:18 p.m. PST (20:18 UTC), and a backup opportunity is available on February 3 at 12:18 p.m. PST (20:18 UTC).
Following stage separation, Falcon 9’s first stage will land on Landing Zone 4 at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. A live webcast of this mission will begin about 15 minutes prior to liftoff. |
