United States - September 24, 2025 A video captures the deployment of two spacecraft from a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket: NASA's Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) and the SWFO-L1 (Space Weather Follow On - Lagrange Point 1) satellite. The onboard camera footage shows both deployments against the backdrop of Earth's curvature and the vastness of space. IMAP is seen spinning at four revolutions per minute as it prepares for separation. Key moments include confirmation of its separation and the start of its mission to map the solar frontier and study how the Sun shapes our space environment. Timestamps and telemetry data, such as "T+01:24:01" and "33808 1767," mark precise deployment moments. Commentary includes a light-hearted musical reference to "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" by Dead or Alive. SWFO-L1 deployment begins with the satellite attached to the rocket’s upper stage. At around six seconds, separation occurs with the voice confirmation "SWFO L1, deploy confirmed." The post-separation phase shows the satellite drifting away, described as "beautiful" and "successful." SWFO-L1 will monitor solar activity and space weather from the Sun-Earth L1 Lagrange point. The video captures structural and instrumental details of both spacecraft, documenting critical moments that advance understanding of space and solar phenomena.
