I often say that nothing can surpass nature’s beauty, but rocket launches come close. Words fail to describe the multisensory experience, but photos help. These are my photos of the SpaceX JCSAT-16 mission, departing Cape Canaveral Air Force Station’s Launch Complex 41 on the night of August 13, 2016.

Een succesvolle lancering en landing van SpaceX - business as usual

Het begint bijna business as usual te worden, SpaceX die met z’n Falcon 9 raket een satelliet lanceert en die vervolgens de eerste trap van de raket, de core stage zoals ‘ie heet, verticaal laat landen op een drijvend ponton in de oceaan. Het gebeurde allemaal twee dagen geleden alweer – door de Olympische Spelen en allerlei klussen hier in huize Nouwen ben ik niet helemaal meer actueel – maar de beelden blijven fascinerend. Het gaat om de lancering van de grote JCSAT-16 communicatiesatelliet, die met op 14 augustus vanaf Space Launch Complex 40 op het nachtelijke Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida met een Falcon 9 raket succesvol in de ruimte werd gebracht, waar ‘ie terecht kwam in een zogeheten Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO). Vervolgens maakte de eerste trap zo’n negen minuten later een ‘zachte’ landing op het platform, dat ‘Just read the instructions’ heet, hetgeen in de video hieronder na ongeveer tien minuten is te zien.
