AsiaSat 8 | Falcon 9 Satellite Launch Webcast

This is the live launch webcast of the AsiaSat 8 mission which lifted off Tuesday, August 5th at 08:00 UTC.

The AsiaSat 8 satellite flew to its intended orbit on a Falcon 9 rocket from SpaceX’s Launch Complex 40 in Cape Canaveral.

I live in Titusville, Fl and I heard the launch and saw it. Night launches are awesome!

Every successful launch is a step towards the future! #TeamSpaceX

I love how they have lighting inside the payload fairing just so that we can see in there before and during jettison.

I wish they have a speedometer and altitude counter on the side or something, would be nice.

Wow, internal tank camera! I loved it. Very well done, PLEASE MOAR CAMERAS EVERYWHERE. Just save them up on HD and beam them back later on? 

[JuxtaposedStars]

The interior shots are amazing! There must be at least 4 separate imaging devices on board this rocket.

Awesome video :D Thanks for the great video x)

Another great SpaceX launch.  The second in under a month.  SpaceX will soon be the most experienced team in the launch business (if not already).  Was that a camera inside the fuel tank?  Now that you are getting the first stage back, when will you start to retrieve the second stage?  Do you see burn marks on the top of the first stage from the second stage ignition?  It looks so close on the video.  Awesome!

Did anyone else give-up on watching this delayed launch live? Ultimately very cool though.

[ShaneH]

Great job on the successful launch SpaceX!

[FutureMartian]

The fairings look like they came off slower than usual. Could this be a concern?

[AaronNanto]

Congrats SpaceX & Elon! Always worth staying up late for!

[spacefatman]

Next launch in just a two or three weeks right? :)

[NicosMind]

Dear Space X. Using one of your rockets. From what distance would I have to be, if I was wanting to cook a hotdog? Thanks

[mazehazeglaze]

damn...what material do they make the nozzle out of?

[ackbarfan]

I got up to watch the launch at 1:00 am, and they had to abort at T - 20 seconds. :( I just went back to bed.

[SeraphX]

It would be way cooler if there were satellite deployment videos.  Each launch is ultimately the same as the last launch.

Did the falcon 9 land after deploying the sat?

I love watching these launches. I can't wait until manned Dragon v2 launches to the ISS.
