Map from the NOTAM combined with the NGA notice for Starlink 6-66. From these, the orbital inclination for both appears to be 43°, launching to the southeast.
An extra satellite on the stack is a big deal! The goal of the Falcon and @Starlink teams is to get to 28 by end of year. [Feb 26]
Starlink G12-1 Pre-LaunchDerived from a pre-launch Starlink-G12-1 state vector, provided by SpaceX.

As part of SATMOD2024101100224 application.SpaceX provided some basic mass and area specifications of the New F9 V3 mini satellite.Mass = 970kg Approximately +170kg than the V2 mini (making it nearly half the mass of the full size Starship variant). Area 10m² larger than V2 mini, when deployed for a total area of 130m² Q.Will this be a combo FSS/DtC satellite?Will this be the DtC Voice and Data capable payload?How many can be launched by the current F9/faring framework? https://licensing.fcc.gov/myibfs/download.do?attachment_key=30950032
I thought that the mass of the v2 mini is about 729 kg, but it turns out to be 800, or is it DtC 800?
Area 10m² larger than V2 mini, when deployed for a total area of 130m²
SpaceX Gen2 Starship Satellite DAS input parameters:Area = 294 m²Mass = 2000 kg
