So while I was watching the recent Falcon 9 (CRS-4) launch by SpaceX (video embed below),
I saw this image but did not know what it was:
This happens at 24mins in the above video (or T+9:15)
Nerdist says it's actually the insides of the LOX tank. SpaceX has outdone my expectations - attaching a camera inside the cryogenic fuel tank at hardcore pressures and temperatures below −182.96 °C or 90K.
More videos of things like the capture by ISS and berthing of the mission can be found on the livestream event page (also the first link in this post). The only thing we didn't see this mission? The reusability videos of the 1st stage booster soft-landing on water like in previous launches.
Again, another job well done by SpaceX. (We still have Dragon capsule recovery, to go though).
