There will be quite a few this month actually.
-
That’s mad, if you think about it
-
If their plan goes perfect, this month Will be a record and this year also,around 50.
-
I'm not sure where you got 50 from, they're aiming for 30 in 2018

It's a re-used block 4, isn't it?
-
Exactly.
-
Thank you! :D And, do you know why those fairings? Is this the small cargo deployment?
-
That is the dragon capsule on top there are no fairings on this launch. The dragon capsule is built to handle the aerodynamic forces of launch so there is no need to have fairings

which means no landing of 1st stage?
-
Yes. no landing
-
Landing Zone 1/2 still the best show in town when used. Too bad no landing this time. Any idea when the next attend there would be? Will still go to the Port and watch this launch.
-
Most likely the next landing will be the TESS launch currently sceduled for 2018 Apr 16. But not sure if RTLS or Droneship landing.
-
Why no landing this time?
-
Because this is an older Block 4 booster. They only fly 2 times. This is the second flight for this booster. Block 5 which startsflying later this month is designt for fast and multiple reuse.
-
Interesting! Didn't know these details. Thanks for replying!
