Launch Schedule – Spaceflight Now

The ARABSAT BADR-8 last night woke me up. I heard a rumble and felt the whole house shaking. Grabbing my phone, I saw that it was about five minutes after the SpaceX launch.

We can sometimes hear a rumble from the launches here near Orlando. The sound arrives about four or five minutes after the launch and usually lasts just a minute. We can also sometimes hear a short rumble later from the booster returning.

But last night's rumble was much more intense. I guess the trajectory was just right to send more of the sound our way.

Oh, I meant to come here and post after the last Falcon Heavy Launch on April 30. I noticed two interesting things during the coverage I watched on YouTube from Spaceflight now.

Just after ignition, you could hear a car alarm sounding off - triggered by the launch. (Unless some sneaky their was smart enough to use the launch as cover!)

The second coll thing I noticed is that later as the camera tracked the rocket far down range, you could see a satellite above the rocket traverse the screen from top to bottom.
