GEO awaits
At the request of Space Force, SpaceX ended its live feed earlier than usual. This sweet view with Earth in the background was one of the final images shown of the rocket in space. Following the booster separation, the center core, which won’t be recovered, continued to climb for a while longer before falling back to Earth. The upper stage engine will perform a pair of burns prior to transferring the classified payloads directly to GEO, which is expected to happen on Tuesday, November 1 .
