Thread for the Starlink 5-5 group launch.

NSF Threads for Starlink 5-5: Discussion

Launch March 24, 2023, at 15:43 UTC (11:43 am EDT), from Canaveral SLC-40, on booster 1067-10. The first stage successfully landed aboard A Shortfall of Gravitas.

Main payload: 56 Starlink v1.5 satellites.

Launch to a mid-inclination orbit on a southeastern trajectory. Initial orbit is 338 x 299 km at 43 degrees.

Starlink v1.5 satellite mass is now about 300kg after the addition of laser ISL terminals.

Please use the Starlink Discussion Thread for all general discussion on Starlink.

Check the Starlink Index Thread for links to more Starlink information.

Cross-post; NET late February only if Starlink 5-4 launches in early February and if Starlink 6-1 does not launch in February:

Quote from: realnouns on 01/27/2023 01:28 pm

0183-EX-ST-2023
Starlink 5-5, Mission 1927, LC-39A or SLC-40
Operation Start Date = 2023 Feb 20
Trajectory ~29 deg Southeast
Landing ~653km Downrange

Edit February 9: Starlink 5-4 will launch in mid February, and it could be the second and last February Florida Starlink launch. The second O3b mPower launch is apparently going forward in late February from SLC-40.

This launch is apparently NET March.

This has a different start time than the notice 310/23 it replaced: 241523Z, March 24 15:23 UTC = 11:23 AM EDT vs 241307Z.
That’s 2 hours 16 minutes later.
