跟进:SpaceX猎鹰9号晨间升空再现"太空水母"奇观32颗载荷送入轨道助推器第19飞成功回收

SpaceX一枚猎鹰9号火箭10月20日清晨7点04分从卡纳维拉尔角太空军基地升空,执行Bandwagon-5拼单发射任务。火箭尾焰在破晓前的天空中被阳光照亮,形成壮观的"太空水母"发光云——这是一周内佛罗里达上空第二次出现这一奇观,从太空海岸到坦帕湾、迈尔斯堡、西棕榈滩和代托纳海滩的大批民众举起手机拍摄上传社交媒体。
所谓"太空水母"效应,是火箭在黎明或黄昏前后升空时,发动机尾气被地平线下的太阳光照亮形成的物理现象,绚丽但完全无害。本次任务共部署32个载荷,包括来自多家航天企业和机构的立方星与微型卫星。
执行任务的一级助推器完成了它的第19次飞行,在级间分离后长时间停留在太空海岸上空,发射约9分钟后稳稳落在大西洋上的无人回收船"重力不足号"甲板上。此次发射是2026年迄今从卡纳维拉尔角太空军基地和肯尼迪航天中心升空的第60次轨道发射。
一位专程从康涅狄格州来可可海滩参加空手道训练的游客弗兰克·莫卡说,这是他第一次亲眼看到火箭发射,"太空水母"让这次经历格外特别:"我完全被震撼了。航天一直离我的心很近,但飞向太空实在太神奇了。

Follow-Up: SpaceX Falcon 9 Morning Launch Brings Another "Space Jellyfish": 32 Payloads to Orbit as Booster Flies for the 19th Time
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lifted off on the morning of October 20 from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, once again producing a "space jellyfish" in the sky as its exhaust plume caught the sunlight before sunrise. The launch, on SpaceX's Bandwagon-5 rideshare mission, carried 32 payloads into orbit.
The first-stage booster flew for the 19th time and landed successfully on the droneship A Shortfall of Gravitas in the Atlantic about nine minutes after liftoff. It was the 60th orbital launch of 2026 from Florida's Space Coast.
Observers along the coast photographed the luminous, expanding plume — the second such jellyfish display in a week — as the rocket climbed through the upper atmosphere. The Bandwagon rideshare program carries small satellites for multiple customers on a single rocket; the 32 payloads on this flight included cubesats and microsats from a variety of space-industry companies and organizations.
