Starlink Group 7-17
Launch Time
NET February 2024

We now know Starlink 7-17 follows Transporter-10, which was a first stage RTLS landing.  Starlink 7-17's OCISLY landing will not be paced by that previous launch.



Which first stage will be used for this launch?  (semi-rhetorical question)

Falcon 9 first stages are apparently now cleared for use up to twenty times for non-human spaceflight missions, although that number is apparently more restricted for Cargo Dragon and Cygnus than these other payloads.

Available first stages, with UTC date of most recent recovery:
1063.17   Jan 24
1075.10   Jan 29
1071.15   Feb 10

Edit March 8: It's B1063.17.

Targeting Sunday, March 10 for back-to-back Falcon 9 launches of @Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Florida and California → http://spacex.com/launches

Quote
SpaceX is targeting Sunday, March 10 for a Falcon 9 launch of 23 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 7:13 p.m. PT, with backup opportunities available until 11:13 p.m. PT. If needed, additional opportunities are also available on Monday, March 11 starting at 7:14 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 17th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich, DART, Transporter-7, Iridium OneWeb, SDA-0B, and 11 Starlink missions. (=B1063-17) 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.

Note 23 satellites being launched on this one - previous Group 7 launches from Vandenberg only carries 22.

Apologies for the OT question; wasn't IM-1 injected into a translunar trajectory, AKA "Earth-Escape/Deep Space"?

Some reusability stats for this launch (Starlink Group 7-17):

Booster B1063.17 turnaround time:
47 days 3 hours 34 minutes
(its previous mission was Starlink Group 7-11 on Jan 24, 2024 UTC).

FYI: median turnaround time for Falcon 9 / Heavy boosters is currently 52.08 days *
* – based on the last 30 launches, excluding new first stages.

Launchpad SLC-4E turnaround time:
6 days 6 hours 4 minutes
(the previous launch from this pad was Transporter-10 on Mar 4, 2024 UTC).

FYI: median turnaround time for SLC-4E is currently 11.21 days *
* – based on the last 30 launches.

The same type of stats for previous SpaceX launches may be found on this spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WwD3CzpKR6vNgYS3QlxoOK9WLi81fof9zRiXzGCnbwo/edit?usp=sharing) online.
