Thread for the Starlink 5-12 group launch.

NSF Threads for Starlink 5-12: Discussion

Launch 23 June 2023, at 15:35 UTC (1:35 am EDT), from Canaveral SLC-40, on booster 1069-8. A first stage landing aboard A Shortfall Of Gravitas is planned.

Main payload: 56 Starlink v1.5 satellites. Launching into the Gen2 constellation.

Launch on a southeastern trajectory to a 43 degree inclined orbit. Initial orbit is 298 x 340 km.

Starlink v1.5 satellite mass is now about 300kg after the addition of laser ISL terminals.

Please use the Starlink Discussion Thread for all general discussion on Starlink.

Check the Starlink Index Thread for links to more Starlink information.

[NET May 29]

Launch is apparently NET late June, after the Satria launch NET June 17. Launch is from SLC-40, as LC-39A will be occupied by the launch campaign for USSF-52, NET July 7.

Will the Starlink 6-5 launch, also NET June, take precedence over this launch?

10 days between Satria on June 19th and Euclid on July 1st, so definetly not two. Most likely one, but I'd also not be surprised if there will be none.

zubenelgenubi · « **Reply #10 on:** 06/15/2023 06:32 pm »

Which first stage will be used for this launch?

The May 16 press briefing revealed Falcon 9 first stages are now cleared for use up to twenty times for Starlink launches. 1058.16 and 1060.16 are assumedly back in the rotation for such launches.

1076.6 and 1073.10 will eventually undergo modifications to become the Falcon Heavy side boosters for Jupiter 3 (NET September), and will therefore not be available after that work commences.

Available first stages, with UTC date of most recent recovery:
1058.16 Dec 17, 2022
1060.16 Jan 3
1069.8 May 4
~~1067.12 May 14~~ Satria
1076.6 May 19
1080.2 May 21 (may be held back for a human spaceflight launch)
1062.15 May 27
1077.6 Jun 4 (maybe)
1078.4 June 5 (maybe, may be held back for a human spaceflight launch)

Edit June 20: It's B1069.8.
No use yet designated for boosters 1058.16 and 1060.16.

JRTI is the likely ASDS.

Is that a rhetorical question, or are you just seeking an official source?

Personally, I think the answer of what first stage will be used won't come until a couple days before the launch, courtesy of SpaceX.

SpaceX is targeting Friday, June 23 at 9:56 a.m. ET (13:56 UTC) for a Falcon 9 launch of 56 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 an additional launch opportunity the same day at 11:35 a.m. ET (15:35 UTC). Backup opportunities are also available on Saturday, June 24 at 9:05 a.m. ET (13:05 UTC) and 10:46 a.m. ET (14:46 UTC).

The first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched CRS-24, Eutelsat HOTBIRD 13F, OneWeb 1, SES-18 and SES-19, and three 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.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff.

It was lightly raining but that I didn’t stop it from being epic. Thank you @ISS_CASIS for hosting me for the #SPACE2023 educator conference @NASAKennedy and the opportunity to see today’s @SpaceX @Starlink launch.

Audio includes: “I remember what that’s like!”

I watched from the beach near Jetty Park with my sister and nephew! Special thanks to the KSC ham radio guys (N1KSC) for doing their usual good work transmitting SpaceX audio and live countdown numbers on 146.940 MHz. The cell networks are usually too overloaded to listen to a Youtube feed, and even if we can get internet, it's often delayed by 30 seconds or so.

Congratulations to SpaceX on yet another successful Starlink mission.

Nice to see a new record with fairing reuse too.

With the Falcon 9 launches of PSN SATRIA on Sunday and Starlink 5-12 today, SpaceX completed a 4d, 17hr, 14m turnaround at SLC-40! Important driver in the high launch cadence this year.

First half of 2023: 43 flights for @SpaceX!

This morning’s Starlink mission also marked a new turnaround record for SLC-40 at 4 days, 17 hours, and 14 minutes!

Always raising the bar for the busiest launch complex on Earth!

Bob sailing into Port Canaveral, towing JRTI, with the Falcon 9 from the latest East Coast Starlink mission.

Currently sailing quite slowly. ETA could be late Monday or early Tuesday... TBD.
