Did they retrieve the fairings?
Here is a comparison of the Starlink L18 and L20 S1 telemetry.

Looks like they have that trajectory dialed in.
I still have a hard time believing just how routine the whole process of launching 60 satellites and reusing the booster and fairing have become. What an age to live in.

Since they're planned water landings, I'm sure they did. What kind of shape they'll be in, we'll have to wait and see. Sea conditions were low risk, so I expect they'll be reuseable, but like I said, can't tell until they get in port.
Have a good one,

Wait till the fill the shell in what 6 launches? Then they switch to the 70 degree and 97 degree shells.
The trajectories, they will be a chang'in.

Sounds like a reason why they wanted to open up the polar flight path form the east and ramp up west coast operations.
