OUTSTANDING FLIGHT

Good for SpaceX. Great for rocketry.

 

[IXLR8]

Flight 11 scheduled for NET 13-Oct at 6:15 pm CDT. Last of the series 2 ships. Reusing the booster from a previous flight. It will be reusing 24 of the 33 raptor engines. Booster will "land" in the Gulf. The ship will perform much of the same tests as last time. Hoping for smoother 'launch' of the Starlink dummy satellites. Also will be trying a 'flip' maneuver to mimic positioning for a catch. Ship will again land in the Indian Ocean.
