Each Starlink satellite weights approximately 260 kg and features a compact, flat-panel design that minimizes volume, allowing for a dense launch stack to take full advantage of Falcon 9’s launch capabilities. With four powerful phased array and two parabolic antennas on each satellite ... At end of their life cycle, the satellites will utilize their on-board propulsion system to deorbit over the course of a few months. In the unlikely event their propulsion system becomes inoperable, the satellites will burn up in Earth’s atmosphere within 1-5 years, significantly less than the hundreds or thousands of years required at higher altitudes. Further, Starlink components are designed for full demisability.Starlink is targeting service to near global coverage of the populated world by 2021. Additional information on the system can be found at starlink.com.

Any chance this launch or another Starlink launch happens mid March? Going to be at the cape and hoping for a launch the 10th-14th.

Upcoming launches include more batches of Starlink satellites on March TBA.
The next SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch another Starlink batch from pad 39A on March 3 around 1pm EST.
SpaceX is expected to have two more Starlink launches in February. Starlink Group 4-9 will launch late February from LC-39A and Starlink Group 4-11 will launch late February from SLC-4E, at the Vandenburg Space Force Base.
