Description

Falcon 9 Booster landing, another successful SpaceX project.

On Monday, December 3rd at 10:34 a.m. PST, SpaceX successfully launched Spaceflight SSO-A: SmallSat Express to a low Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. Carrying 64 payloads, this mission represented the largest single rideshare mission from a U.S.-based launch vehicle to date. A series of six deployments occurred approximately 13 to 43 minutes after liftoff, after which Spaceflight began to command its own deployment sequences. Spaceflight’s deployments are expected to occur over a period of six hours.

This mission also served as the first time SpaceX launched the same booster a third time. Falcon 9’s first stage for the Spaceflight SSO-A: SmallSat Express mission previously supported the Bangabandhu Satellite-1 mission in May 2018 and the Merah Putih mission in August 2018. Following stage separation, SpaceX landed Falcon 9’s first stage on the “Just Read the Instructions” droneship, which was stationed in the Pacific Ocean.

This picture has been enhanced with a special artistic treatment, including a complete digital repainting. The result preserves the character of the original image but looks like a realistic painting and can be printed in large sizes. The colors are more vibrant and vivid than in the original photography. It will look amazing as large print, canvas print, metal or acrylic print on the wall of your living room, dining room or bedroom. Also a great fit for a man cave, a waiting room or a lobby.
