SpaceX launches Intelsatâs communications satellite
321 ignition lift off. Go Falcon go Galaxy 37 people that can be plus 30 seconds into flight. Falcon nine has successfully lifted off from pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station during ascent. We'll tilt the engines in *** technical term called gambling and that will turn the rocket horizontally in what we call *** gravity, turn power and telemetry. Now we're still going up, but we're also heading horizontally away from the launch pad and the rocket typically needs to go about 17,500 MPH horizontally in order to avoid being pulled back down to earth and reach orbit supersonic. Just like that. Cannonball I mentioned earlier in the Webcast coming up, we should throttle down the Merlin one D engines in preparation for Max Q or maximum aerodynamic pressure back. And there's that call out. We did just pass through the point of Max Q and now we have three events coming up in quick succession starting with Miko stage seven and ses one main engine cut off or Miko is the point during the flight where we shut down those nine Merlin one D engines on the first stage shortly after that stages, one and two will separate from each other. And that's so that the second stage isn't carrying unnecessary masks to orbit. And of course, the first.
