At 60 satellites per launch that's 1,440 Starlink satellites launched next year plus up to 5 launches this year. There are only appx 1,900 operational satellites in orbit right now. Come sometime in 2021 SpaceX could have more operational satellites in orbit than every other country and company on earth, combined

Article about this

"Over the last three or so weeks, SpaceX rocket recovery technicians and engineers have rapidly modified a second Falcon fairing recovery vessel – known as GO Ms. Chief – to the point that it appears to be almost ready for its first catch attempt.

Essentially a twin of GO Ms. Tree (formerly Mr. Steven), Ms. Chief now features four arms – each with two white support beams – that hold two massive, retractable nets. Ultimately, SpaceX has augmented Ms. Tree with Ms. Chief in a bid to simultaneously catch both parasailing halves of a Falcon 9 (or Heavy) payload fairing after any given launch, the Holy Grail of the company’s fairing recovery program."

SpaceX to shift Falcon 9’s next West Coast launch to Florida, the first of its kind in decades

Interesting reading.

"According to NASASpaceflight spaceflight reporter Michael Baylor and an Argentinian government website, SpaceX appears to have decided to move its next West Coast launch from California to Florida, signifying the first East Coast polar launch in half a century could be just four months away.

Initially expected to launch out of SpaceX’s Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB) SLC-4E pad on a Falcon 9 rocket, the Argentinian space agency’s (CONAE) SAOCOM-1B Earth observation satellite was scheduled to lift off no earlier than February 2020. That launch window remains the same but Florida’s Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS) has somehow arranged approval to reopen the United States’ Eastern polar launch corridor. The story behind the corridor’s closure is a bizarre one."

I started a thread on that last week

SpaceX is currently the only company that will be able to use it as they are the only ones running AFTS. ULA's Vulcan will be able to, same with New Glenn from BO. I'm not sure if ULA has any plans to upgrade Atlas V and Delta IV to AFTS before Vulcan comes online.

Date: Monday, 11 November 2019

1) Background info: Source

"A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket is expected to launch the second batch of approximately 60 satellites for SpaceX’s Starlink broadband network, a mission designated Starlink 1."

Note: The fairing supporting this mission previously flew on Falcon Heavy’s Arabsat-6A mission. These fairings landed in the ocean and were recovered. This will be the first mission where a first stage is used four times (this booster flew three times before).

This will be the 11th SpaceX launch this year.

2) Launch window: 9:51 - 10:02 AM EST. Targeted launch time is 9:56 AM EST

3) Launch Site: SLC-40, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida

4) Webcast viewing options:

a. SpaceX webcast (Starts about 20 minutes before liftoff)

b. YouTube

c. Spaceflight Now coverage with launch video

5) Launch preparations:

a. Payload. This is from the May 2019 launch. Let us pretend that this launch is basically the same configuration:

b. Static fire: 5 Nov 2019. See picture below. Video here

6) First stage return/disposal: Ocean ship recovery. See map in a post below.

7) Payload fairing recovery: Approximately 45 minutes after liftoff, SpaceX’s two fairing recovery vessels, “Ms. Tree” and “Ms. Chief,” will attempt to recover the two fairing halves.

8) Mission press kit: Download here

9) Launch to deployment events/timeline:

Minutes:Seconds after lift-off

00:01:14 Max Q (moment of peak mechanical stress on the rocket)
00:02:33 1st stage main engine cutoff (MECO)
00:02:36 1st and 2nd stages separate
00:02:44 2nd stage engine starts
00:03:24 Fairing deployment
00:06:41 1st stage entry burn complete
00:08:24 1st stage landing
00:08:49 2nd stage engine cutoff (SECO-1)
00:44:50 2nd stage engine restarts
00:44:52 2nd stage engine cutoff (SECO-2)
00:60:43 Starlink satellites begin deployment

SpaceX drone ship spotted by satellite ahead of first Falcon 9 ocean landing in five months

"In anticipation of SpaceX’s imminent Starlink-1 launch, drone ship Of Course I Still Love You (OCISLY) departed Port Canaveral on November 7th and is now on its way out into the Atlantic Ocean for Falcon 9’s first booster landing attempt in months.

In a possible first, the drone ship and its tugboat companion were spotted on their way to the landing zone coordinates by a European Earth observation satellite.

In the Sentinel photo, both OCISLY and its tugboat are plainly visible, with the satellite’s resolving power just slightly too low to render the drone ship’s iconic ‘X’ and bullseye as more than a blob. Of note, OCISLY measures approximately 300 feet by 170 feet (91m x 51m), which happens to almost perfectly mesh with the 100m scale bar on the image. "

It’s not much to look at, but this satellite image unequivocally shows drone ship OCISLY towed behind tugboat Hawk, on their way to recover a Falcon 9 booster. (Sentinel Hub – ESA – Harry Stranger)

this is from Saturday

perhaps something happened then, but why not return to home port if that's the case.

Ms. Tree and Ms. Chief gradually slowed down overnight and eventually came to a complete stop about 200km downrange this morning.
