- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- SpaceX is targeting launch of Koreasat-5A from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, Florida on Monday, October 30 at 3:34 p.m. EDT, or 19:34 UTC. A backup launch window opens on Tuesday, October 31 at 3:34 p.m. EDT. The satellite will be deployed approximately 36 minutes after liftoff.
Following stage separation, Falcon 9’s first stage will attempt a landing on the “Of Course I Still Love You” droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
I love how SpaceX gets the public involved in these launches and gives us these webcasts. So cool!
These launches will NEVER get boring! Love it!
One day we will see multiple launches at the same time.
Falcon Heavy is supposed to be launched for the first time in December this year. If everything goes according to plan, we will see 2 boosters land simultaneously follow by a 3rd booster landing a few minutes later. If it does not go according to plan... at least there will be some pretty big fireworks.
IIRC, Elon has said it's not unreasonable to expect the first launch to fail.
I hope they launch on 31 december, so we have a good fireworks show :))
Peter Hamilton who says these are boring??? It's awesome
Please give your famous First Stages a name, they are mega star rockets.
leokimvideo I second this
omg - first stage names ....
Well if you feel that way
You know where the door is
I'm going out
Watch this
leokimvideo Yeah if the drone ships get names then the boosters deserve to have them too. It would also make it easier to tell when they reuse a rocket as we would hear the same name in two different launches.
Feel the burn.
Hm...
There and back again
They grow up so fast (aimed at the payload that does its own thing after being carried up)
Honey, I'm Home!
Slightly crispy
I love you too
Wait, I'm only at page 7! (inspired by "Read the instructions")
You gotta admit, this is really great advertising for the company. I hope you never stop these launch webcasts.
13:50 for countdown an Launch
AND WE DANCE. VLOGS
Thanks due
Thx!
AND WE DANCE. VLOGS 👍👍👍
Not all heroes wear capes.
Heroe
The music playing while watching second stage is spot on.
Brian
Elon chooses it
What is this music
Test Shot Starfish
Congrats again, everyone! GO SPACEX!
"Little Toasty" should become a meme
"slightly on fire"
They should name the first stages, that one just earned the first name "USSX Little Toasty"
XDDD
They need foam or appropriate substance to fire off when the toast happens :P
Timi Petrášek if the stage is recommissioned that should be it's nickname xD
It's so incredible to see something cover the distance from, the east coast of America to the west coast of Africa, in 21 minutes! Just amazing!
"a little toasty..." lmao, that was straight up on fire m8
I thought it would explode after awhile
well they've designed F9 knowing about the risk of post-landing fires and leaking fuel, so there shouldn't be risk of it exploding just from that. if a fire made one of its legs give way, that's another story.
Nah, that was just some residual fuel, I guess.
Thank you for successful lanching as Korean.

not a single comment about the earth being flat.........prouda' you guys
Flateathers just think it is too obvious to say 😃
They obviously used fisheye lenses to make earth look round
Earth is flat
I Don't Care Don't play please. It's serious stuff. You are whether flateather or you aren't. About the feed cut - read other cleaver comments of pro people rather than giving dilettante conjectures.
Evgeny Zak serious fakery
"Don't worry, just a little toasty" - Next droneship name plz
That's definitely a good one!
I fully agree with Abdul, I can see it now... and the 1st stage is about to land on it's drone ship "Don't Worry, it's just a little bit Toasty". Just rolls of the tongue. (y)
Id prefer something like "Touch me gently" or something like that. But not a bad idea
PERFECT
They are both named after sentient ships from a Science Fiction book, so while it does sound fitting, won't happen.
This is all rockets should be used for; no explosive payloads, no threats of destruction, just humanity working towards a common goal.
It's a beautiful dream future that I hope to see one day.
Outstanding. Can hardly wait to see that first heavy launch.
50:32 he handled that pen flip like a boss, didn't even flinch
(y)
"little toasty" is henceforth the official term for anything spaceX produces that's on fire.
They got that from Mad Men.
_Rocket explodes_ don't worry, it's just a little toasty! We can still recover it!
What do you mean explodes? Surely you meant that it went through a rapid unscheduled disassembly procedure.
They fill both tanks with helium as they empty in flight, so no significant chance of explosion, and rocket engines are kind of used to being on fire. It is amazing though.
I think "Little Toasty" should be SpaceX's catchphrase!
Поздравляю вас с успешным запуском !!!
I was so privileged to see this taking off - not from KSC unfortunately (I’d visited there the day before and seen the pad being prepped but wasn’t able to get back to the area for launch), but from Davenport, around an hours drive away. Still an amazing site especially while watching the live stream in tandem! Love everything SpaceX is doing :)
PenFlip at 50:35
HeHe... wierd
Nice catch
The pen did a boost flip back burn.
Special SpaceX pen
make it a meme
did you see how wavey that was ! WELL DONE SPACE X , can't wait to see the full footage of that landing "little toasty"
This should be #1 on trending. Not that stupid makeup/ celebrity/ lateshow/ political stuff, this is innovation. This is the future. All that other stuff is pure cancer.
Yea but people are not really giving a shit regarding the space fairing future, sadly :(
Dude chill ;p Political stuff effect you more then this. Sending things to space is nothing new, we doing this for few decades now and it so common that news outlets dont care even before spacex. Sending men by spacex probably wont make big news either for same reason, spacex walking already well made road here. Sending man beyound near earth orbit would do better news because no one did that for long time.
Wetknee Movie Productions Inc. Nah, even I can agree that these launches are getting a bit boring, which is probably a good thing, indicating that this has somewhat become routine.
Now for the Heavy, if that ever happens.
Alex Siemers i think people overglorifies SpaceX, only significent thing about them is fact that they are first private company to do actual space bussness which would eventully happen and lending a rocket on earth which has yet long way to proof its economical premise, but everything else is already done a lot of times and even more. People act like no body else send things to space before and i reallt hate when people bash NASA along the way, while not only they have a lot more things on there head aside of building rockets, they actully clients of SpaceX not to mention there space administration roles.
Ah, yet another STANDARD rocket landing. This was a nice upload on my Bday. Keep it up, SpaceX! XD
cool spaceX
Great job! I'm still amazed each time I watch.
Always sign out in the usual way. I've been disappointed when I've watched your earlier videos and you said it differently. I love the way it sounds and how you say it. I usually do my best to say it with you when it gets to the end of the video xD
*****THANK YOU SPACE-X*****
Love to see every one of them. And so glad it has only 9930 view. It's no news anymore. You have pulled it off!! It has been normalized to have rockets landing from space.
Amazing work SpaceX!!!
As always, interesting coverage of a SpaceX launch.
Try and put a time delay on the camera on the drone-ship, and make too feeds, one direct and one with time delay. Broadcast the time delayed video captured on the drone-ship, when signal contact has been archived again.
I think that it would be possible this way to watch the entire landing about 1 or 2 minutes after loss of signal. That would be an interesting addition to the web cast. Thanks for all your enthusiasm, and have a fire of celebration.;)
Don't forget to put the fire down with gallons of Caribbean tequila.
I seriously love their drone ship names.
Love seeing these types of videos!
Video of the engines igniting and firing at the lauch pad would be cool to see!
always a pleasure to watch it take off and land. I don't want to miss every mission.
Please sort the live feed out during landing. Can there be a relay ship next to it or even a drone that takes off 5 mins before landing so we can see better footage of the landing. Otherwise amazing stuff bring on falcon heavy!
Gareth Evans none of that would work, they're a rocket company not a photography company
They dont make money with those feeds and for an Investigation in case of failure a recording is good enough. Why would they put such expensive efforts to sort it out?
I think they also try not to interfere in anyway with the rocket at any stages, so I can get why they put the bare minimum equipment for the live footage.
you also have to realize that no one can be near this thing when it come back nor when it launch, the noise the thing make would kill you, even at distance you still can hear the sonic boom
What would be cool is if at some milestone they released a video with all the landing footage, like their "how not to land an orbital class booster" except to show off their successful landings.
They have the footage, it's just not a priority right now. Would make a nice christmas present or something.
Lovely footage of the 2nd stage from T+2:38 to T+3:00 !!! Unfortunately the landing footage of the 1st stage was again very very disappointing. It really should have the proper footage that a show like that deserves. Make it better folks. I truly believe that you can do that. Congratulations for the 100% efficiency so far this year.
This is so amazing and exciting!!! The video quality is incredible. Thank you Spacex for including us like this. I’m beyond excited for the future!
The descent and landing blows my mind everytime. Watching the telemetry and the video while at the same time trying to grasp the physics involved is mind boggling...not to mention the pitching and rolling landing 'pad'. A 3D graphic showing orientation and direction relative to landing site would be really awesome. One big gripe...a day after this incredible feat we still don't have video of the landing. And even when we do, video of barge landings is relatively crap...how about a couple of drones and posting the video at the first opportunity? Please and thank you.
So far 5 old-space employees watched this video!
Also, you guys just make it look easy :P

You boys and girls are amazing. Love the moonraker style announcement at base.
This 50 min video is better than most of the Hollywood and Bollywood films😂
Can we get some better footage of these launches? Don't get me wrong they're amazing as is, but some major blockbuster level stuff would make these appear as epic as they really are to the masses - close up fly by drone shots of the launches and then dramatic moving camera shots for the landings? Surely this wouldn't be that hard to do - surely it could be automated.
Well done on another beautiful landing of an orbit class booster =)
Sadly missed the livestream.
Alexander Laboratories I watched it during school
Missed it too.
I was going to watch it in school but they block YT livestreams.
+Ultimate Steve you can watch it on the SpaceX website
Yeah, not sure why it wasn't on at the original time...
Congratulations SpaceX on another first stage landing!
SpaceX, correct me if I'm wrong; but you keep loosing visual of the drone-ship right when stage-1 lands because the drone-ship is feeding data back to you over a satellite connection and the violent vibrations from landing cause the satellite feed to misalign and drop out, right? Isn't this a pretty simple fix? Off the top of my head, it seems like you could simply deploy a flying drone and relay the signal through that.
I'm sure some mechanical engineer will tell me about much simpler methods to isolate vibrations from a tracking system, but come on! FIX IT! I want to see that beautiful footage!
EDIT: Or... you know... keep kicking ass at solving the much cooler and more important problem of making humans an interplanetary species.
Abe Dillon
1: they are a rocket company, not McDonalds advertising department.
2: so you want to attach a satellite TV dish, to a highly unstable drone that is either too small, too expensive, or crashes into the ocean because of a fucking sonic boom.
MrTagnan
Those videos are inspiring and, yes; amazing advertising. A drone large enough to carry a satellite dish would be inherently very stable because it would have a lot of inertia. It would also cost, what, $50k tops? That's an unbelievably good deal for an advertising budget, no? The thing would pay for itself instantly.
The first stage of the Falcon 9 is sub-sonic way before it reaches the drone ships and sonic booms don't knock vehicles out of the sky, that makes no sense. A sonic boom is a loud noise, not hurricane-force wind gust.
Again, there are probably other solutions to the problem. They could have a second drone-ship a good distance away act as a relay, though that seems like it would be more costly than a flying drone.
At any rate; it seems like a pretty easy and valuable fix. You don't have to be McDonald's to care about advertising. SpaceX might very well want to say, "What's that, Blue Origins? We couldn't hear you over the sound of our monthly* compilations of sticking every single landing like it was nothing!".
*They do plan to make space so accessible and their turn-around time so fast that they'll be launching almost daily in the near future.
Abe Dillon here's the thing, yes S1 is sub sonic, but at a safe distance the drone would be knocked out of the air by the sonic booms, I've been to the KSC at landing and in most videos you can see the camera get shaken. They have limit people and they need to focus on R&D for ROCKETS not downlinks, a large enough drone would still be very unstable because the Atlantic is windy. Yes I would love to see landings better on OCISLY but it would take away from the money and research of developing BFR and FH.
Yep, no way would a drone like that be a worthwhile investment. Everyone in the launch industry knows about them, they have very strong brand presence. Few in the launch industry care much for Blue at this point, though that is changing as they tool up for New Glenn.
+Banaan Banaan
That's a good point. Now I feel like an idiot for not realizing that just because the live feed cuts out, it doesn't mean the footage is gone. That's all I really want anyway.
Never gets old! Good job, SpaceX!
You did a great job, really impressed!
Would be cool if the timeline covered the entire bottom of the screen, so that it perfectly matched that of UA-cam's red time-bar. That would make it a lot easier to skip to the interesting parts (not because it's a big problem, but it would still be nice).
Just a thought.
Nice work, once again, SpaceX!
Thanks for this. It's amazing. In the future I will start my own space company and it is companies like SpaceX that will make it possible.
this never gets old
One thing I note is how clean the first stage burns!
The visibility was great. Pity that you switched to the onboard cams for the stage separation? It could have been so cool to watch it from the ground
You're the best SpaceX.
amazing landing considering how much that platform was rolling in the sea.
Awesome great job. Would love to see a second stage recovery and re use.
Who the hell dislikes these videos?
Blue Origin
Russians
The ones not riding the rocket.
llama That was my answer XD
Blue origin,ULA,Boeing and Flat earthers
You guys should really stretch your timer bar from end to end so that it's easily clickable on yourtube. You could probably still put the SpaceX logo in the middle, because there's that longer bit of time with no new actions in the middle of it.
You can have that idea, it's free ;)
Thank uou space x, you give me hope for my childrens future.
KTSAT is the one that deserves the most thanks. not people like me.
Thank you KTSAT, for supporting humanity's space evolution [as well as getting the best price for yourself, of course. heheheh]
Can there be a relay ship next to it or even a drone that takes off 5 mins before landing so we can see better footage of the landing
Can't do a relay barge. It's already big money to tow the ASDS out there alone and get it set up. Having to do it all twice just to get five seconds of footage we already get on RTLS flights? No that's just not practical. The drone is the best thing, but I don't think a drone can carry a powerful enough transmitter to relay the signal straight to a satellite. It'd have to relay to the high gain on the barge which would just get broken up as well.
Another awesome launch! SpaceX rocks!!!
Amazing
Yay! SpaceX
full support to SpaceX. good work
I wish I could watch this (or most other webcasts) live but I have school... If possible, could you guys please try launching in the evening? I'm not trying to sound pushy or anything but I'd love to see your webcasts. Thanks and good luck on the Mars missions! I hope to work for you guys someday!
That intro is sick and the music too. Launch was ok. Jk, It was amazing. That fire pattern the rocket makes, Is there a name for that? The way the fire looks like a star and streams out into a ring and then finishing in a blue tornado. Bodacious
That would be called "engine plume" :)
I love seeing it too~
The distinctive pattern the F9 makes is super cool. After watching a few, you can tell when MECO is about to happen by the amount of "wrong pressure" there is. I can't remember what it's called, but the engine bell on the Stage 1 Merlins is made to be most efficient at a mid altitude. that's why after max Q it starts to expand out. not enough atmosphere pressure to keep the plume "in line." :-D
stage 1: *is on fire*
_A L I T T L E T O A S T Y_
Keep up the good work SpaceX! Get us to Mars!
Love these videos SpaceX! :0
And the hits just keep coming!
First stage got "a little toasty" there.
Is there a damage estimate?
Incredible that it was able to land, considering the rocking of the droneship, which was considerable.
No small amount of luck there.
Wondering if SpaceX has been considering a larger, perhaps crewed freighter-size ship, for landing, since
they have a number of landings under their belt now?
Search for "Crew Dragon" and "BFR".
Can't wait to see the falcon heavy
Did the commentator slip up at 10:52 and mention a “fairing boat”?
nah never happened
Congratulations!
Crazy success rate Choosing SpaceX is excellent choice
You guys kick so much ass, incredible
I wish there was something I could subscribe to that would notify me whenever there is about to be a rocket launch in cape canaveral
parker benz There is SpaceXnow on mobile for SpaceX launches and rocket watch (website) for all launches, maybe try those
spaceflightnow.com/launch-schedule/
0:10 I actually thought the space ship was invisible XD
Presumably the second stage will now destructively re-enter. Does it do that passively, or will it need to perform manoeuvres to lower its perigee and control the angle of entry?
I was wondering the same thing but in less eloquent terms :)
Passively, i.e. just based on drag and other conditions.
Atmospheric drag!
I know it's low priority, but it would be nice if they fixed the issue with landing footage cutting out. It cuts out at the best part EVERY TIME
Can i vote Elon as president of mars already? Seriously man, you are the future. Keep up the good work and ideas!
michel Rieskes I would as well vote on him. The only problem is thet before it, countries around the world need to change some rules. Mars is like ocean right now, no country own it and actually if you go there without permission you will become a pirate 😁
Artur K you don't need any permission to go to mars
Amazing! The people believe! Good job.
Absolutely amazing guys!
13:47 take off !
It’s a shame the footage of the landing never works. It’s the most exciting part. Amazing stuff though
What is going with the camera on drone platform? Almost every time Space's rocket is landing on it, it stops and we have gap in transmission. I assume this camera does it on purpose.... Nevertheless great work SpaceX ! You are creating the future :)
It's not the camera, it's the transmission equipment being vibrated like hell with the rocket so close by.
The ship is pretty far out to sea, and cause of safety regulations nothing else is allowed near it, so it's using a satellite up-link to send the footage. With the vibrations from the rocket shaking the boat, it's very hard for it to maintain the connection with the satellite.
Thx. Now I understand.
Can they get a better camera or connection system for the drone ship. They always lose the signal when the first stage is going to land on the drone ship. That's what people wants to see the most. It is the most impressive thing in the video !!!
So phenomenal! Huge respect for all spacexs' engineers and Elon Musk from S.Korea. Keep surprising us :D
Beautiful, bravo!!
the sky was so clear that you could see the video file formatting's limited number of shades of blue incrementally re-shading the screen as the camera followed the rocket into darker skies.
Of all the great things SpaceX can do, drone ship cameras is not one of them
Michael Petty it's difficult to live stream video from the middle of the ocean, they do have nice videos from the drone ship on their channel that are uploaded after the fact
It's not the camera, it's the transmission equipment being vibrated like hell with the rocket so close by.
The rocket itself probably interferes with the radio transmission to the satellite also. When it gets near, suddenly there's a big cylinder of metal in the sky between the transmitter and receiver.
Loanword Eggcorn That and the ionized stream of particles coming out the rockets engine bells. The Saturn V S-IC wreaked havoc on communications.
awesome that all these comments are reasonable and scientific and nobody told me to go jump up my own butt or anything typically internet-ish
Congratulations on another succesfull launch and landing. But now thinking for the future of space travel my question is: how to launch something to space without fossil fuels? Thats should be the next thing to develop isn't it.
Well, the Space Shuttles used liquid hydrogen. The BFR is going to use methane, which Musk intends to manufacture rather than using natural gas.
SpaceX made rocket launches 10x more exciting. Good job, thank you Elon!
KT 로고있네요 ㅎㅎㅎ I see the logo of Korea Telecom on the top of the rocket :)
Kudos to every single employee of SpaceX including the janitors and coffee makers for making this possible! Ofc to Sir Musk!
you guys should bring back the chase plane footage
That day was awesome
Good job!!!
Congrats Space X!! Awesome
What was that crossing the sky at 19:17 - 19:28?
fairings (the payload cover that has been ditched at 17:34)
I saw that too. Too high to be a plane?
I also saw what looks like another satellite at 16:59 and several seconds after that. Is that a satellite? I didn't see any other comments on it.
SpaceX does it again
