4 day OCISLY turnaround? Is that possible?
What is the approximate minimum turnaround with calm seas Long Beach to the Group 7 recovery zone and back (not counting dock operations)? 🌊

Starlink 7-11 successfully launched January 24 UTC.
Will SpaceX squeeze in launching Starlink 7-12 before the end of the month (7 days)?

SpaceX is targeting Sunday, January 28 for a Falcon 9 launch of 22 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. Liftoff is targeted for 6:16 p.m. PT, with backup opportunities available until 10:03 p.m. PT. If needed, additional opportunities are also available on Monday, January 29 starting at 5:49 p.m. PT.
A live webcast of this mission will begin on X @SpaceX about five minutes prior to liftoff. Watch live.
This is the ninth flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched SDA-0A, SARah-2, and six Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship, which will be stationed in the Pacific Ocean.
Targeting a doubleheader of Starlink launches from Florida and California tonight → spacex.com/launches
UPDATE #1: @SpaceX is now targeting the 4th backup launch opportunity for #Starlink Group 7-12 on 2024-01-29 at 03:29:20 UTC with deployment at 04:31:59.100 UTC.
Now tracking 7:29 pm PST = 03:29:20 UTC.
UPDATE #2: @SpaceX is now targeting the 8th backup launch opportunity on 2024-01-29 at 05:02:40 UTC for Group 7-12 with deployment at 06:05:19.100 UTC.
Webcast link for 7-12 showing yet another delay to 05:02:40 UTC = 9:02 pm PST, although I don't see the website updated yet. But Celestrak did just confirm it.

SpaceX Vandenberg livestream dropped out AGAIN before/during/after liftoff!
What is their problem?!
Upcoming events.
00:53:23 2nd stage engine starts (SES-2)
00:53:25 2nd stage engine cutoff (SECO-2)
01:02:18 Starlink satellites deploy
Steven, I feel for you, but you did a dam good job, despite the video issues.
This landing marked the fastest turnaround of a droneship at just over 5 days. The launch also marked the fastest turnaround time from SLC-4E at 5 days, 5 hours, 22 minutes, and 20 seconds - this is down from about 6.5 days with the previous record.
Falcon 9 completes two launches within four hours from Florida and California, delivering 45 @Starlink satellites to orbit
Closing out a Space-tacluar double launch header on a Sunday night… @SpaceX lofts #STARLINK 7-12 from @SLDelta30 tonight delivering 22 starlink sat to LEO 01-28-24
Thanks, Steven, that's twice in a row for bad livestream from SpaceX, almost occurring at the same spot and returning almost before MECO. Something doesn't smell right. Thanks for the coverage. Must be frustrating.This time it returned at T-30 and stayed till the end, as far as I can see.
Great execution by the SpaceX team across both Florida and California. Special shout out to the west coast team for smashing the launch to launch record for SLC-4e and OCISLY. At just over five days, the pad and droneship have demonstrated the speed required to meet our 2024 launch rate
