Spacecraft separation occurs as the payload cleanly detaches from the upper stage, beginning its solo journey into orbit. This milestone follows fairing deployment and stage separation, marking the moment the mission transitions from launch operations to on-orbit commissioning. NASA Editor’s note: Blog has been updated to reflect the approximate timeContinue Reading
The SpaceX Falcon Heavy second stage has completed its second and final planned burn for NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. Second-stage engine cutoff 2, or SECO-2, occurred after the upper stage burned for about two minutes. Roman remains attached to the second stage during a five-minute coast. Up nextContinue Reading
