As we stood up in the middle of the night here in Germany, we learned that SpaceX changed the lift-off time for Starlink 6-12 again, and it was hitting our time window before the stream of the homecoming of SpaceX/NASA Crew 6.
So, we decided to show you before the Crew-6 stream the Starlink 6-12 live launch from LC-39A of the Kennedy Space Center. The lift-off happened at 10:47 p.m. EDT (September 3), 02:47 UTC/GMT, and 04:47 CEST.
On Sunday, September 3, at 7:05 a.m. ET, Dragon autonomously undocked from the International Space Station. After performing a series of departure burns to move away from the space station, Dragon will conduct multiple orbit-lowering maneuvers, jettison the trunk, and re-enter Earth’s atmosphere for splashdown off the coast of Florida approximately 17 hours later at 12:17 a.m. EDT, 04:17 UTC/GMT, and 06:17 CEST on Monday, September 4.
SpaceX Crew-6 is the sixth crewed operational NASA Commercial Crew flight of a Crew Dragon spacecraft and the ninth overall crewed orbital flight. The mission launched on 2 March 2023 at 05:34:14 UTC and successfully docked to the International Space Station (ISS) on 3 March 2023 at 06:40 UTC. The Crew-6 mission transported four crew members to the International Space Station (ISS), Stephen Bowen, NASA (Spacecraft Commander); Warren Hoburg, NASA (Spacecraft Pilot); Sultan Al Neyadi, MBRSC (Mission Specialist 1); and Andrey Fedyaev, Roscosmos (Mission Specialist 2).
The timing of the deorbit burn and the splashdown depends on many factors, including weather in the splashdown zones in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. So, schedules at the moment are NET (Not Earlier Than).
