I saw a collage of 100 launch photos somewhere to commemorate the 100th launch. Now I can't find it. Anybody have links?

No signs of Falcon 9 second stages left in orbit during the v1-13 and v1-14 missions. The v1-12 second stage is still up there, possibly set to fall from orbit on October 30.

Looks like the Oct 24 Starlink launch also left its second stage in orbit. Starlink 1915 and 1950 look to be in trouble still.

As expected, failed Starlinks 1915 and 1950 reentered on Nov 6, 13 days after launch.

The Starlinks are descending 3 or 4 times faster than the low density second stage, and as fast as the other Starlinks are ascending. They must be under control and power. They don’t seem to be simply “failed”. Makes me wonder why they are being deorbited.

Perhaps this discussion should be moved from the launch thread to a Starlink thread after the second stage renters.

Can anybody share the status of the second stage used during this launch? The last I saw was some conjecture that it would enter the atmosphere in an uncontrolled manner.

I don’t know enough about tracking individual space objects to find this answer out for myself.
