Falcon 9 First Stage Reentry Footage from Plane

Published on Aug 14, 2014

Following the successful launch of six ORBCOMM satellites, the Falcon 9 rocket’s first stage reentered Earth’s atmosphere and soft landed in the Atlantic Ocean. This footage is from a chase plane filming the decent of the first stage back to earth.

Towards the end of the video, the camera operator attempted to zoom in and unfortunately lost sight of the stage and was unable to capture the tip over into the water.

SpaceX - 5 Commercial Resupply Launch from Kennedy Space Center

Published on Jan 10, 2015

SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket and its unpiloted Dragon cargo craft launched in pre-dawn darkness from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida Jan. 6, bound on a two-day journey to deliver more than two tons of supplies and science experiments to the Expedition 42 crew aboard the International Space Station. About 10 minutes after launch, Dragon separated from the second stage of the Falcon 9 rocket and deployed its solar arrays to begin the rendezvous to reach the station on Jan. 8, where it will be grappled by station Commander Barry Wilmore of NASA and Flight Engineer Samantha Cristoforetti of the European Space Agency using the station’s Canadian-built robotic arm from the orbiting laboratory’s cupola. Dragon will spend a month attached to the Earth-facing port of the station’s Harmony module and then splash down in the Pacific Ocean, off the coast of Baja California, bringing with it almost two tons of experiment samples and equipment from the station.

CRS-5 Launch

Streamed live on Jan 10, 2015

After five successful missions to the International Space Station, including four official resupply missions for NASA, SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft are set to liftoff from Launch Complex 40 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, for their fifth official Commercial Resupply (CRS) mission to the orbiting lab. The launch is currently targeted for Saturday, January 10 at 4:47am EST. A live launch webcast will begin at approximately 4:30am EST. If all goes as planned, Dragon will arrive at the station approximately two days after liftoff. Dragon is expected to return to Earth four-and-a-half weeks later for a parachute-assisted splashdown off the coast of southern California. Dragon is the only operational spacecraft capable of returning a significant amount of supplies back to Earth, including experiments.

SpaceX Falcon 9 Launch Failure - Slow Motion

Published on Jun 28, 2015

SpaceX has begun the process of analyzing data to identify the cause of Sunday’s dramatic failure of the Falcon 9 rocket launching the Dragon SpX-7 spacecraft on what was to be Dragon’s eighth visit to the International Space Station to deliver supplies, maintenance hardware and science experiments and return precious science samples to Earth at the end of the planned five-week mission. Although it may take several weeks or even months to pin-point the exact cause of the dramatic failure, the initial clues found in telemetry data indicate that the loss of the vehicle was caused by a problem on the second stage that – at the time of the failure – was not yet in its active phase of flight as the first stage was still firing when the vehicle was destroyed.
