Satelitny snimok z Roberts road na Floride
- na Floride rastie len polovica Gigabay na rozdiel od Starbase, kde stavaju obe polovice sucasne

Aktualizacia stavu LZ pre SLC-40

[MrG]

Na pristavaciu plochu LZ- (oficialne oznacenie zatial nie je) pribudol dalsi beton.
Uz ma kruhovy tvar
- nad novo vybetonovanym kruhom je stvorcova plocha, kde je vidiet maly stvorec. Na tom bude stat podstavec na spracovanie, sklopenie noh.

Screen z prenosu startu NROL-77
- pekne vidime uz skoro dokoncenu LZ-? (zatial oficialne cislo nema) cervena sipka
- ram na spracovanie stupna, zatial je tam ram, upinky na upevnenie stupna zatial chybaju modra sipka

Prva zmienka o pristati na LZ-40 ?

https://spaceflightnow.com/launch-schedule/

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch a four-person crew to the International Space Station on the SpaceX Crew-12 flight. NASA astronaut Jessica Meir will command the mission alongside pilot and fellow NASA astronaut, Jack Hathaway. They are joined by mission specialists Sophie Adenot, a European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut and Andrey Fedyaev, a Roscosmos cosmonaut. This will be the second flight for Meir and Fedyaev and the first flight for both Hathaway and Adenot. The quartet will conduct a long-duration mission onboard the ISS. Following stage separation, the first stage booster supporting this mission will return to a landing site adjacent to the launch pad at Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

Po oddeleni stupnov sa booster vrati na miesto hned vedla startovacej rampy SLC-40
- Crew-12 ma termin NET 15.2.2026, co pre SpaceX moze byt kludne misia cislo 20. v roku 2026
- je to prva zmienka o pouziti novovybudovanej pristavacej plochy hned vedla startovacej rampy
- rocne pristava na LZ na Floride ca 10-15 stupnov, takze to kludne moze byt pri Crew-12 prvy pokus o pristatie
- kazdopadne pojde o 2. pilotovany start z SLC-40 po misii Crew-9 (28.9.2024)

Zaujimava informacia na X:
- SpaceX v roku 2026 planuje na nejaku dobu zrusit starty Falconov9 z rampy LC-39A
- vsetky "single" teda Falcony9 z Floridy maju startovat z SLC-40
- LC-39A a bude sustredit na FlaconyHeavy, a starty Starship
- najblizsi FH, o ktorom sa vie je az Griffin Mission 1 ten je planovany niekam na polovicu roku 2026
- najblizsia Crew misia je 12-ka NET polovica 2/2026 a tam uz bolo neoficialne oznamene, ze start prebehne z SLC-40
- misia Crew-12 by mala byt prva misia, pri kotrej sa vrati booster na rampu SLC-40, novovybudovanu plosinu (SX zatial pznacenie tejto plosiny nezverejnilo)
- SpaceX ma momentalne na LAUNCHES naplanovane 4 misie z Floridy na 1/2026 a vsetko SLC-40
