First stage for Starlink 2-6?Quote from: Alexphysics on 12/12/2022 07:31 pmQuote from: scr00chy on 12/12/2022 03:31 pmIs this B1075 going to Vandenberg before it's used for Psyche next year? Because I think that's the only booster we haven't seen leave McGregor after it finished testing.Or maybe the tweet is incorrect and the booster is actually coming from Florida?I'm gonna put $10 on this. Eyes on the Vandy barge!Edit [Dec 13]: Ooooh I would have lost those $10 if I had done that for real hah! Just checked and it should be B1075 going to Vandenberg for a Starlink launch next month.

SpaceX is targeting Wednesday, December 28 at 4:34 a.m. ET (9:34 UTC) for a Falcon 9 launch of 54 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. If needed, there is a backup opportunity available on Thursday, December 29 starting at 4:14 a.m. ET (9:14 UTC).The first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched GPS III Space Vehicle 04, GPS III Space Vehicle 05, Inspiration4, Ax-1, Nilesat 301, and five Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.This launch marks the first of Starlink’s upgraded network. Under our new license, we are now able to deploy satellites to new orbits that will add even more capacity to the network. Ultimately, this enables us to add more customers and provide faster service – particularly in areas that are currently over-subscribed.
