If static fire :thumbsup: on Tues, :rocketemoji: on WedThese are production design, unlike our earlier Tintin demo satsMuch will likely go wrong on 1st mission. Also, 6 more launches of 60 sats needed for minor coverage, 12 for moderate.More details on day of launch, currently tracking to Wednesday
Are there four sections of 15 or two sections of 30 sats? so hard to tell!
My understanding is two stacks of 30.

GO Searcher and GO Navigator departed from Port Canaveral a few hours ago.These two ships will attempt to recover both fairing halves from the water after they splashdown.Mr Steven will, again, not take part in the operation.
