5.2.3. EXAMPLE FLIGHT PROFILES<br />

Once <strong>Falcon</strong> 1 is launched it follows a profile similar to those described in Figure 5‐4 or Figure 5‐5, below. (Note:<br />

each flight profile is unique <strong>and</strong> will vary depending on the trajectory.) For direct injected missions, payload<br />

separation occurs at approximately 570 seconds. For two burn missions, the payload is released approximately<br />

3270 seconds into the mission.<br />
