00:00All right, so cumulatively we've held for a little over three minutes between the two holds.
00:07Again, this is a ground side issue on our tower.
00:11The techs are looking through the data right now to see if it's something that we can either work through
00:16or if it would cause us to have to stand down.
00:20So we're continuing to hang out with them, holding at T-40.
00:30And if you're just joining us, we did initially hold at T-40 seconds.
00:38We continued the count, but recycled before we got to T-10 seconds.
00:44And so we're back at a hold at T-40 seconds, waiting for more information.
00:50The team is checking out to see if we can continue today.
00:56But for now, the clock is rolling.
01:00We'll see if we pass around that T-10 second mark.
01:03Six, five, four, three, two, one.
01:23Two, two, one.
01:53T-40 seconds, it's one hell of a sight from here.
02:06We see it arcing right over top of us.
02:08We see 33 out of 33 Raptor engines lit on Super Heavy as it starts to ascend skyward.
02:15Coming up on maximum aerodynamic pressure, then only about a minute and a half
02:28until we get into hot staging.
02:33Wow, Dan, that was incredible.
02:36We could feel the building shaking here, feel the vehicle's power.
02:47And we're just about a minute away from shutting down those engines on the booster.
02:52Again, this booster is flying for its second time today.
02:56All right, so hot staging coming up a little under a minute.
03:06We're going to see all but the three center engines turn off on the booster.
03:10So our version of MECO, most engines cut off.
03:13And then just a few seconds later, hoping to see six engines ignite on ship to push it away.
03:19All right, hot staging, about 30 seconds.
03:41And definitely keep an eye on which way the booster flips.
03:44First-ever directional flip we're going for today should flip straight up.
03:54See those engines powering down?
03:57Booster engine cut off.
04:02Ship ignition.
04:04Stage separation.
04:10Incredible flip by Super Heavy booster.
04:13And you can see those six engines, those three engines on the ship ignited.
04:21Six healthy raptors running on ship on its way to space.
04:25Peek that engine view.
04:26Booster's doing the boost back.
04:28Chris, how's it looking over there in Hawthorne, man?
04:31It is looking absolutely incredible here in Hawthorne.
04:36As we said, six healthy engines on ship.
04:39We've got 13 out of 13 engines on the booster.
04:42Now down to those three, which is what we expect in the final moments of the boost back burn.
04:47Now, as a reminder, we are not recovering the Super Heavy booster today.
04:50We are instead going to do some...
04:51Feature boost back.
04:52Shutdown.
04:53And there we had a good shutdown of the boost back burn.
04:56Next up will be the jettison of that hot stage ring.
04:59Avionics power and telemetry nominal.
05:02Great call out there that everything looking nominal aboard the Super Heavy vehicle, which is returning to Earth.
05:08And we're going to be doing some experiments with it, including a higher angle of attack re-entry, as well as some engine tests as it gets closer to the Gulf.
05:18We are, again, because of these tests not recovering it, we are sending it to the Gulf on purpose to do those tests.
05:24But again, you see the booster on the left-hand side of your screen.
05:27You see ship with six healthy engines continuing its ascent to its planned suborbital trajectory.
05:33Everything going very well so far for Starship's ninth flight.
05:37Now four minutes, 15 seconds in.
05:39Great views from inside of the aft engine area of ship there, looking at those three sea-level and three Raptor engines on the right-hand side of your screen.
05:52The booster doing its LOX dump, that liquid oxygen dump.
05:55So because we don't need some of that liquid oxygen propellant in its tanks, we vent that propellant out to lessen the booster's mass as it comes in for its landing.
06:05Just absolutely gorgeous views watching these two vehicles do their respective things in the skies over Texas here today.
06:17And Dan, we're approaching the five-minute mark into the flight.
06:19Super Heavy is descending rapidly.
06:22What can we expect here in the next few minutes as it does its atmospheric tests?
06:28Yeah, now as we had talked about, Super Heavy might not have a very smooth ride down.
06:32We're going to be putting it through this higher angle of attack, so we're kind of pitching it up a tiny bit, increasing drag.
06:39We've done this in wind tunnels.
06:41We've done this in computer modeling.
06:43It shows that sometimes the control isn't great, but only one way to really prove it out, and that's to get real-world data.
06:51So here comes Super Heavy.
06:53It should be igniting for its landing burn in just about 40 seconds from now.
07:02And we are going to relight 13 engines, then bring that down to three engines.
07:09As we talked about earlier, we will be intentionally shutting down one of those three center engines intentionally to push the limits of the Super Heavy booster.
07:22Ship ruptured chamber pressure is nominal.
07:24And continuing to see six healthy engines on the ship, three sea level, and three vacuum engines still ignited as the Super Heavy booster is making its way back down to Earth.
07:38We can see those grid fins doing some heavy work.
07:41Booster landing startup.
07:43Ignited for our landing burn.
07:44It may have ended with that landing burn.
07:57It does look like we lost telemetry from the booster once we started into that landing burn.
08:07Did you see your confirmation that the booster did demise?
08:10So the booster's flight ending before it was able to get through landing burn, but again, we are not bringing that back.
08:19We were expecting it to make a hard splashdown in the Gulf.
08:24We were getting live data back the entire time through that high angle of attack flight,
08:29so that was something that was really vital for us to get during this reuse.
08:35First reflighted booster in the books.
08:38All right, ship.
08:40Has about two minutes left.
08:44In about two minutes, we expect all six Raptor engines to shut down.
08:50That will be SECO.
08:52Basically, second engine or second stage engine shut off.
08:55And these are some incredible views, Dan, from the aft end of the ship.
09:03Watching as the engines stay ignited with the Earth in the background.
09:08As always, the Starship Avionics team, the techs.
09:15I think we just heard the booster.
09:19All right, we got about a minute left into this burn.
09:23All eyes definitely on ship.
09:25As we get through the final stages into its ascent.
09:29We're expecting it to start to cut those engines off in about 45 seconds.
09:42Terminal guidance.
09:43All right.
09:49All right.
09:50All right.
09:52All right.
09:55All right.
09:55Well, let's turn.
09:58All right.
