Vapors are now streaming away from the Falcon 9 rocket at pad 40, suggesting fueling is well underway and the static fire test is on track for 4 p.m. EST (2100 GMT). Ice build-up on the first stage is also visible, indicating super-cold liquid oxygen is being pumped aboard the launch vehicle.

F9/Starlink: SpaceX test fired the 1st stage engines of a Falcon 9 rocket at the Cape Canaveral AFS at 4pm EST; we’ll now await an update from SpaceX on plans to launch another batch of Starlinks on Sunday

That was nice of Falcon 9 B1049.7, waiting to Static Fire until we put a camera on her!

Latest Starlink launch tomorrow.

That kinda makes it confusing. B1049 has been flight leader since June, makes it sound like she's only just taking that lead or confusing people to think it's B1051.

With the launch from LC-39A last Sunday, SLC-4E today, and this mission from SLC-40, will this be the shortest amount of time between launches from all three Falcon 9 sites?

SpaceX mission description:

Quote

SpaceX is targeting Sunday, November 22 for launch of its sixteenth Starlink mission, which will launch 60 Starlink satellites from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The instantaneous launch window is at 9:56 p.m. EST, 02:56 UTC on Monday, November 23.

The Falcon 9 first stage rocket booster supporting this mission previously flew on six other missions: the Telstar 18 VANTAGE mission in September 2018, the Iridium-8 mission in January 2019, and four Starlink missions in May 2019, January 2020, June 2020, and August 2020. Following stage separation, SpaceX will land Falcon 9’s first stage on the “Of Course I Still Love You” droneship, which will be located in the Atlantic Ocean. One half of Falcon 9’s fairing previously supported a mission, and the other half previously two.

If it launches in the next few hours, I think it will be shortest time SpaceX has launched 2,3,4,5, ... 26 rockets
(unless you count launching falcon heavy as launching 4 rockets)
