Transporter-6 Mission

On Tuesday, January 3 at 9:56 a.m. ET, Falcon 9 launched Transporter-6, SpaceX’s sixth dedicated smallsat rideshare mission mission, from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. This was the fifteenth launch and landing of this Falcon 9 stage booster, which previously supported launch of GPS III-3, Turksat 5A, Transporter-2, Intelsat G-33/G-34 and 10 Starlink missions.

Falcon 9 carried 114 spacecraft to orbit that were set to deploy across 82 deployments, 78 of which have been confirmed. Teams are continuing to review data for the remaining payloads, though it may take customers some time to provide additional information on the status of their payloads.

My Fathers remains were on this flight. Thank you Sandra, beyond burials and SpaceX for making his dream a reality

Man that aggressive gridfin movement and last second attitude correction maneuver is so sick! Great job as always and wish your best luck for 2023!

It just amazes me this booster has been used 15 times. Amazing amazing amazing! From launch to landing to payload deployment to video coverage 10 out of 10 💯🚀🌎

Great way to bring in the New Year! Here is to an even better 2023 and continued success.
Kudos to all the SpaceX folks!

Those North pole views at the end with the sats launching in the orbital sunrise, that was so beautiful and serene

I never get tired of watching the boosters coming back and landing. Truly amazing.

The views of the north pole of the earth at the end of the video were magical.😀🥺

Great coverage! Land camera views really make a nice addition, appreciate the team's tweaking content. Thanks and all the best

BRAVO ! Truly spectacular, both production and technology. And yes, I was streaming the video using Starlink.

It always impresses me every time i see that landing

First orbital launch in the world for 2023 and of course it's a Falcon 9!
We're getting a treat with RTLS's this month with the upcoming OneWeb launch and USSF-67 with Falcon Heavy!

I never would have guessed 20 years ago I'd be at home, sitting at a computer with a keyboard, watching some thing called a "YouTube" and a channel on it would be a "Space-X", launching and LANDING boosters and space rockets and doing it so often they make it look easy. You pioneers at Space-X and NASA are really so much more of a treasure than perhaps even you folks currently realize. Thank you so very much for the last few years, and here's to a wonderful 2023 !!! Astonished respect to every single team member !!!

Loved the camera views this time around from the first stage!

[timdoyon]

What a beautiful landing view! It never gets old, does it? 😮 It’s so cool!

[sweetypie]

I just love to watch those boosters return to earth and land on the precise landing spot where they are expected to land. the younger, brighter minds and visions of space exploration. You rock! 🙂
