Thanks again to all, especially Steven, for the coverage.

Remember, updates only in here. Use the other related threads for discussion, etc.

Replay our livestream with Das and Chris G at the Cape. Still a very new youtube channel and about our fifth launch live stream, but we had 15,000 people on it at peak, which is crazy.

It appears that we have a nominal deployment, so the pre-launch TLEs should be valid for the coming hours while we await the first ephemerides in another hour.

Yes, this was the first launch for the 45th Space Wing as a unit in the USSF.

Once we have individual SupTLEs and associated IDs, @SpaceX has reported that their “DarkSat” will be STARLINK-1130.

We now have SupTLEs for all but 2 of the latest Starlink satellites: https://celestrak.com/NORAD/elements/supplemental/ . Wonderful to have this data so quickly! Screenshots show where the cluster is and how tightly packed the objects currently are.

Despite the slightly higher satellite deployment altitude, SpaceX appear to have performed essentially the same launch profile for their first two Starlink 1.0 missions. I can't split them.

Interesting that Ms Tree has not gone straight to Port Canaveral

Ms. Tree has arrived at the Port of Morehead City. She may have a fairing half that was recovered from the water.

Did you watch the historical first launch of the United States Space Force last night? Check out this incredible photo taken at the Apollo 1 memorial at Space Launch Complex-34.

Ms. Tree has returned without a fairing half. The arm the parafoil was caught on seems undamaged. #SpaceXFleet #SpaceX #MsTree
