Description

No doubt about it...my husband is a space nerd. On our visit in January to Florida, he was hopeful we might see a launch from Cape Canaveral, and see we did. I was there with my camera to photograph for the first time ever a launch I never anticipated I would see or photograph. I did my research, but still managed to screw up the first launch we saw a week ago from the nearby beaches of a launch off site 39A of a SpaceX Falcon 9 of communication satellites, part of Starlink, Elon Musk is developing. I listened to the countdown and didn't realize the communications were delayed about a minute from the actual launch and missed the photo opportunity. This was a day launch. We both had hoped for a night launch which are more spectacular, but easier to photograph using long exposure photography. Day launches are more difficult, requiring multiple shots, over 50 for this shot. I couldn't get my intervalometer timer to work faster than every 2 seconds, so there are spaces I had hoped wouldn't be there. We may have another chance for a night shot in a week, but the time hasn't been set as of this minute.

SpaceX, Falcon 9 rocket today from Cape Canaveral included 105 satellites ranging from the size of a soda can to a washing machine.

This liftoff was from pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station this morning with a return to Florida’s Space Coast for a propulsive landing about eight 1/2 minutes later. The return actually occurred just to the right of the white building, the Exploration Tower pictured in a lagoon, located at Port Canaveral, a local museum with beautiful contemporary lines I love, beautiful when lit at night.

This was SpaceX’s second launch of the year 2022 a week apart, and the second of seven space missions scheduled for liftoff from the Space Coast this month.

The Transporter 3 mission flew southeast from Cape Canaveral, then turned south to track parallel to Florida’s east coast to deliver the Falcon 9 rocket’s 105 satellites into a roughly 326 mile high polar sun-synchronous orbit. I believe I read this is the first time for a polar launch for SpaceX. (RB)
