lilibayHere's this morning's @SpaceX #Falcon9 #RocketLaunch from #VandenbergAFB! A stack of 5 2-min exposures to create the streak. The short streak going to the right is #Mars! Always a treat to see, even from over 100 miles away in #BearValleySprings, CA. @CanonUSAimaging #6DmkII.
The 10 Iridium NEXT satellites launched as part of the seventh mission were delivered to orbital plane number five. The Iridium network is comprised of six polar orbiting planes, each containing 11 crosslinked satellites for a total of 66 in the operational constellation. Upon activation of all 10 new satellites, orbital plane five will become the fourth Iridium orbital plane to be comprised exclusively of Iridium NEXT satellites. In total, 81 satellites are being built with 75 planned for launch.
