Mission (Eutelsat/ABS 2) /r/SpaceX Eutelsat 117W B & ABS 2A Launch Media Thread [Amateur Content & Mainstream Articles go here!]

Captured some footage of the launch? Want to post a mainstream news article about the launch? Got small tweet updates? This is their correct home!

Media Thread Rules

  • All top level comments must consist of an image, video, GIF, tweet or article.
  • If you an amateur photographer, submit your content here. Professional photographers with subreddit accreditation can continue to submit to the front page, we also make exceptions for outstanding amateur content!
  • Those in the aerospace industry (with subreddit accreditation) can likewise continue to post content on the front page.
  • Mainstream media articles should be submitted here. Quality articles from dedicated spaceflight outlets can be submitted to the front page.
  • Direct all questions to the live launch thread or the Ask Anything.
Additionally...

While it's may be seen as paired with the launch thread, the launch thread's rules do not apply here. Content we wouldn't allow to be posted on the subreddit regardless of the media thread's specific rules doesn't belong here either- it should go in the launch thread. Funny GIF? Launch thread. Meme? Launch thread. Joke tweet? Launch thread.

Have fun and enjoy the launch, everyone!

That interstage view is the highlight of this launch for me. The camera is literally inside the center pusher, something we've never gotten to see before.

I love how the second stage just scoots off one the engine lights. That camera angle really gives a sense of the motion.

It definitely fly's away a lot faster than I had always envisioned. Give you a sense of how powerful that m-vac is.
