    WATCH LIVE: TRANSPORTER-5 MISSION

    SpaceX is targeting today, Wednesday, May 25 for a Falcon 9 launch of Transporter-5 to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The 57-minute launch window opens at 2:27 p.m. ET, or 18:27 UTC. A backup opportunity is available on Thursday, May 26, with the same launch window. Falcon 9 will fly along Florida’s eastern coast over the ocean and may be visible from the ground.

    Falcon 9’s first stage booster previously launched Crew-1, Crew-2, SXM-8, CRS-23, IXPE, one Starlink mission, and Transporter-4. After stage separation, Falcon 9 will return to Earth and land on Landing Zone 1 (LZ-1) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

    Transporter-5 is SpaceX’s fifth dedicated smallsat rideshare mission. On this flight are 59 spacecraft, including CubeSats, microsats, non-deploying hosted payloads, and orbital transfer vehicles.

    You can watch the live launch webcast starting about 10 minutes before liftoff.

    That's what the permit is for. Adjustments to that number can come later.

    Another success! I just wish they’d deploy the landing legs a bit earlier :rofl:

    Looks like a beautiful day down there.

    It does kinda freak you out when they deploy at the last second. I'm sure it has something to do with changing the aerodynamics and adding instability.

    No kidding.

    I hope the telemetry display is delayed (behind) the video display, too. It seems to be going quite fast when it hits the ground.

    Today, she said it was going about 90MPH when the legs deployed.

    Oh, I missed something, Thought you were talking about starliner! I was very confused.
    I guess my mind is distracted, the family cat that's been amazing for 16 years is going to be put down in about 2 hours :(

    Understand your distraction.

    Just remember the 16 years.
