That's actually interesting, Does your dish location have more obstructions to contend with when it was facing north? I wonder if it might have bene a tradeoff where north has more sat density but more obstructions, and south has less sat density but clearer skies
Well, todays a pretty intense day for spaceflight across the board
First was the successful Rocket Lab launch last night, nice and smooth all the way through.
Then Blue Origin had another successful flight of New Shepard with 6 people onboard this morning
And ULA's Atlas 5 also flew a successful mission today, a mission called "SBIRS GEO 6"
And SpaceX is gearing up for a Falcon 9 launch this afternoon. It's cool, they're sending this payload on a lunar trajectory
And Astra's earnings report is due to be released at market close today, which will be interesting to see. They've had three more tweets since announcing the earnings report and the radio silence that preceded it. Interestingly, these tweets have been focused on their ion engine development for satellite propulsion. Still not making much noise about their rocket and the next flight though. My hunch is they're reminding their investors that are about to hear the news that "hey, those struggling rockets aren't the only facet of our business, don't lose faith"
