SpaceX Falcon Heavy, all 3 cores landed! Successful launch of Arabsat 6A (4/11/2019)

seanix i recharge angles 88.3 degrees [Applause] [Applause] HP left Falcon Heavy is on internal power groundouts closeouts it's starting [Applause] please go for lunch no 30 seconds my 15 seconds apply pressure 9 8 7 6 [Applause] representing [Music] enter court at deep throttle 33 seconds into flight under the power of five point 1 million pounds of thrust Falcon Heavy is headed to space we're throttling down at t plus 40 seconds I've been here for maximum dynamic Fisher Domino we're hearing reports power and telemetry are nominal equals supersonic you may have heard the call-out on net one vehicle is supersonic side boosters are throttling back up on power is where through the period of maximum dynamic pressure trajectory looking good you can hear the applause behind me as we've gotten past maximum dynamic pressure the next event coming up is chilling of the impacting engine get the turbo pump ready to ignite the main engine on the second stage in another couple of minutes Merlin engine performance looks good we've begun dropping power on the side boosters to decrease loads on the center car I can't load limiting hook down continuing to decrease loads to minimize acceleration on the Falcon heavy structure coming up on booster engine cutoff called Beco and separation of the two side boosters and back entry to become successful separation if you could give me the cheering side losses new beginning a clip to begin with 20 victims newspaper site roosters have begun the boost back burn the center core has throttled back up to power everything looking good on the flight of Falcon Heavy the next major event manage and cut off of the center core and separation ignition of the second stage bottom middle view shows the view looking up into the nozzle of the second stage engine Miko main engine cutoff centre course again over the cheering I'm Daphne engine up on power it looks good side boost is looking good still burning on the way back to Cape Canaveral great fans are out on the center cut separation confirmed here comes the fairing separation and there it goes we also have successful set bound of the side booster Bruce back burn so t plus four minutes 25 seconds into flight side boosters on their way back to Cape Canaveral center court coasting to the trajectory nominal stage two looking good with a nominal trajectory and as you guys have noticed the Griffins have deployed on the side boosters as well as the center core those work to help guide the boosters back to a nice targeted soft landing see those heading home right now as a reminder today we'll be attempting to recover all three of the first stage cores and all three boosters are currently on their way heading home in just a few minutes the side boosters will execute an entry burn followed by a landing burn and the center core will do much the same a few minutes later both burns are meant to slow the stages speed down rapidly before landing at the time of separation the side boosters were traveling slow enough to turn around and make their way back to land at our side-by-side landing pads the center core on the other hand is going too fast to efficiently return to the Cape so we're using our autonomous drone ship of course I still love you if we have a successful landing today the side boosters will be reflow non our next falcon heavy mission stp 2 now coming up at about t plus 6 minutes will be these side boosters reentry burn position is take no purview so see the side boosters on your left and right screen side boost your entry Burnett started [Music] Stage two trajectory nominal and the reentry burn is complete for the side boosters now coming up in about 30 seconds the center core which you see on your center screen will begin its reentry burn Haeju wallet every bear has started site boosters are transonic and there you can see the re-entry burn for center core has begun coming up in about five seconds here these side boosters landing burn will begin as well [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] now we're waiting for the engine to shut down on the second stage and for the center quartile and if all goes well we'll have successfully recovered all three boosters which we have never done before now coming up in about twenty seconds we're gonna listen for confirmation of Seco one or second engine cutoff and back shut down and we have confirmation letter code orbit orbit insertion and we have that confirmed good orbit now coming up here in about 15 seconds will be the sensor core landing burn beginning so again as we mentioned earlier this is going to be a challenging landing and we are landing on our drone ship of course I still love you looks like we lost the line [Applause] it sounds like we landed the senator on our Joseph book we have landed the center for for the first time on our drugs that the courts I still love you for the first time we've rounded all three boosters for Falcon Heavy what an amazing day so now we are going to take a quick [Applause] so now the primary mission is still going well we are about to take we're about that into the coast base so we're going to take a quick break we'll leave you with an animation that shows you where we are throughout the coast bays we will be back at about t+ 26 minutes four second stage relight and the deployment of our satellite now coming up in about 20 seconds we're going to get ignition about a brief readmission of the upper stage engine to carry the payload into the desired transfer orbit and beckon condition confirmation of ignition we are up at the desired power tank pressure looks good the turbine temps look good you may have seen just the four ignition the large white fluffy pieces moving away that is solid oxygen the stuff you breathe it's so cold that it's solid but it is not very dense it's very fluffy and it is actually attached to one of the liquid oxygen Overboard drain lines that we use so coming off is normal now this burn is about an 85 second burn in that time we'll add 2800 meters per second to our velocity that's more than the side boosters provided early in flight almost as much as what the center core gave us we've throttled down the engine to keep accelerations below the limit for our air upset customer everything continues to look good the views of the nozzle of the upper stage engine coming from to SpaceX cameras on either side of the second stage continuing to throttle down and we have shut down and right now we're waiting to hear what the final orbit looks like surgeon guidance engineer over one of the necks announced nominal orbit insertion right where we want to be we're on a path that will take us almost 90,000 kilometers up above the earth well now we're in the good orbit we wanted we're going to coast for the next five minutes or so we'll be back with continuing coverage at t plus 33 minutes for the final step in today's mission deployment of the arab set 6a satellite we're about half a minute away from the deployment of the arab set 6a satellite now currently the second stage has begun a slow spin up that will help stabilize the satellite it'll retain that spin when it separates from the second stage currently the camera have you have switched forward looking at the arab set six a spacecraft and if you've just joined us now you've missed a great day both side boosters landed at the Cape center core landed second stage right in the desired orbit and now we're waiting for separation spacecraft separation confirmed [Applause] as you can tell behind me the folks have watched the mission cheering erupts at 680 cut it away into the desired orbit doing its mission in space that puts a capper on what's been a completely normal day here at SpaceX [Music] you [Music]
