@IridiumBoss Hey Matt, just wondering if you have a potential NET date set for Iridium-7? A few launch photographer friends from the east coast and I are looking at making the trip to photograph the launch! Also any news on a RTLS attempt now that it's flying on Block 5?


Matt Desch‏ @IridiumBoss 3 ч. назад

Announcement of L7 date/time imminent. (Hint: shipping first two satellites to VAFB tomorrow...). RTLS unlikely due to our mission profile.

In fact, SpaceX filled the FCC permit for an ASDS landing one month ago, so yeah, ASDS landing this time. But hey, at least we have another Iridium landing again! Yay! Also, I'm sure the new batch of 10 satellites will be happy to float into space and do a lot of good work  ;)

Didn't notice this at first, but Iridium added a pretty graphic on their media release for the announcement.

The Falcon 9 rocket will launch 10 Iridium NEXT satellites to low Earth orbit (LEO) from Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB) in California at approximately 5:12 am PDT (12:12 UTC). An exact instantaneous launch window time will be available closer to the launch date. As the second-to-last launch of the planned Iridium NEXT program, this mission will increase the total number of Iridium NEXT satellites in space to 65.

All 10 satellites for this mission will be deployed to Iridium orbital plane number 5 wh ere they will go into operation immediately following a thorough testing and validation process. The Iridium network is comprised of six polar orbiting planes, each containing 11 operational crosslinked satellites, for a total of 66 satellites in the active constellation. Once all the satellites from the Iridium-7 mission are operational, plane 5 will be the fourth orbital plane to be comprised entirely of Iridium NEXT satellites. In total, 81 Iridium NEXT satellites are being built, with 66 in the operational constellation, nine serving as on-orbit spares and six serving as ground spares.

Now that you have the date and time, you should note that it's about 10 minutes after "first light", but still an hour before sunrise at VAFB. Not sure if it will work out or not, but there is potential for another nice "show" like we had in December for L-4.. #LetsScareLAAgain

Satellites are all fueled and ready to go. A few days longer to wait will probably just confuse @Marine_layer anyway. Looking forward to getting these next 10 satellites into orbit (but not looking forward to a 1am wakeup call)

This is my favorite patch design so far (and I love them all): a white wolf and symbolism about the strength of our partner network "pack", our polar coverage, and more! Get in advance of Iridium Launch-7 in 12 days! Available now at http://iridium.mylogospot.com/ .
