Of Course I Still Love You – OCISLY
The second ASDS barge, Of Course I Still Love You (OCISLY) services launches in the Pacific Ocean and was the site of the first landing of a SpaceX Falcon 9 first stage during CRS-8, the launch of a Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station.
Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship – ASDS
An autonomous spaceport drone ship (ASDS) is an ocean-going vessel derived from a deck barge, outfitted with station-keeping engines and a large landing platform. Construction of such ships was commissioned by aerospace company SpaceX to allow for recovery of rocket first-stages at sea for high-velocity missions which do not carry enough fuel to return to the launch site after lofting spacecraft onto an orbital trajectory.

I hope that. Bird gets off the ground successfully.
Is anyone gonna get up that early on a Sunday to watch that? I would doubt it.
In the past many people have and Rocket Monkey will be up watching the rocket launch.
Looks like the launch is Monday now. Can anyone recommend a place to view the launch for a first timer? Thanks!! We are currently at WDW.

The beach!
If it’s not cloudy, you can get a great view from Orlando/WDW. Just look due East.
Yes
From Sunday to Wednesday! LOL Does anyone know of a site that shows the trajectory apart from flightclub?
Is Bernie Sanders on there too?
Why do the Starlink Launches get moved to the “More Rocket Launches” page?

Noticed that the ASDS JRTI is described as servicing launches in the Pacific from Vandenberg? Should that be updated? (love the RUD explanation)
Thanks for the feedback. The JRTI description should be updated shortly.
Thanks, and thanks for all the info on the site!
One delay after another.Always delaying.As Al Shepard once said”Fix your little problems and light this candle.”
I’m starting to wonder if starlink 17 will ever get off the ground they have had both 18 and 19 Since
Is the person that’s selecting themusic for these videos brain dead or what, that’s the most ridiculous headache providing stuff I’ve ever heard! No sound would be an improvement!
