SpaceX Shows Off Amazing View of Starlink Satellites

From Starlink launch group 6-1 - a new camera on the captive tensioning rods gives a complete view of the upper stage stack on orbit.

It's the ultimate selfie stick.

I love it when engineers are able to stick cameras on the moving bits of the spacecraft. You always get these super dynamic awesome shots! Thanks for sharing Scott!

This really puts everything into perspective for me about real life satellite deployments, what an awesome thing to see

Pity they cut the video short though. Would have been cool to see the crushy bit doing its thing.

I want to watch that camera view all the way to second stage re-entry.

Its cool that we can send cameras to space. Probably more than just beautiful shots though. We can see everything happening and if something goes wrong we have visual data to prevent the same issues in the future.

That's great. SpaceX has some REALLY smart people working there.

This is so cool. Interesting how much perspective you gain by a simple trick. Well done to the engineers who thought of this

[Softe]

I always love seeing daytime laungh footage. It's both beautiful, and I get satisfaction knowing It will keep flateathers up at night.

Now thats the sexiest panoramic selfie I have ever seen!!! Would be nice as well if it was a 360 cam.

[AstronomerKSP]

That's pretty cool too see, thank you!

Where did you get the deployment video? It's gorgeous! The spacex livestreaming cut short many minutes before, just 9 minutes after liftoff, I was a bit bummed ^^'

[nbrader]

Very pretty footage and informative narration as always. Thanks :)

[SchrodingerZX]

The beautiful result of clever people doing things that matter. Things that are of genuine benefit to humanity. These people deserve more recognition.

[ImieNazwiskoOK]

Maybe it's just a small thing but I really like it

[KeithGroover]

Personally I'd love to see the footage of it coming back into the atmosphere and burning up

[idesofmarchUNIAEA]

Amazing! Thank you Evelyn and the team

[hjalfi]

I want to know if they can keep the camera running during the deorbit burn and as much of the deorbit as you can get telemetry from. You'd get some great shots.

And they look so Xenomorph too, amazing work.

flerfs gotta love those camera shots that still show the curve even thru the center of shot.. shooting down the whole lens curve thing..
