We also have a rotating pair of launch engineers onboard Cosmic Girl. Today's dynamic duo is Bryce Schaefer and Jason Panzarino (who coincidentally were born on the exact same day in 1990 but are otherwise unrelated).pic.twitter.com/4AE9vllsSq
After taking off from Mojave, Cosmic Girl will fly due southwest to our drop point just south of the Channel Islands. Once we reach the drop point, we'll enter into a loop that we call the "racetrack" as we wait for final go/no-gos.pic.twitter.com/mg3Bdc1Hek
As we fly laps around the racetrack, the team will be checking conditions for release — making sure that the wind levels aren't too high and that we have a strong telemetry connection so we can receive data after the drop.
Confirming a smooth takeoff! Cosmic Girl is officially airborne for our first attempt at an orbital launch demo.
The ground stations we've enlisted to track Cosmic Girl and LauncherOne for this flight are spread across the globe: Mexico, Antarctica, and Mojave. We also have a telemetry dish on the roof of our Long Beach HQ.
We've just completed our first cold pass through the racetrack. The rocket has autonomously detected it's in the launch zone. Currently all systems are go for flight.
Commencing final checks for the Terminal Count Autosequence. Once triggered, LauncherOne's computers will take full control of the system in the minutes leading up to final countdown and release.
Confirming both vehicles are healthy at this time.
We've officially initiated the Terminal Count Autosequence, which means we're approximately less than 15 minutes away from releasing LauncherOne.
This mission is the most technically complex thing we've tried to achieve yet. The first few seconds after release are where it really all comes together, as we'll verify a series of critical flight systems in rapid succcession in a way that we haven't been able to on the ground.pic.twitter.com/69PS8vZXVi
We've confirmed a clean release from the aircraft. However, the mission terminated shortly into the flight. Cosmic Girl and our flight crew are safe and returning to base.
Cosmic Girl has landed back in Mojave and our crew are all safe and sound.
