Thread for the Starlink 5-10 group launch.

NSF Threads for Starlink 5-10: Discussion

Launch March 29, 2023, 20:01 UTC (4:01 pm EDT), from Canaveral SLC-40, on booster 1077-4. The first stage will land aboard Just Read the Instructions.

Main payload: 56 Starlink v1.5 satellites. Launching into the Gen2 constellation.

Launch to a mid-inclination orbit on a southeastern trajectory. Initial orbit is 299 x 339 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.

0296-EX-ST-2023 Mission 1940 Starlink Group 5-10
NET March from Florida [March 5]
ASDS North 25 36 35 West 74 47 47

I note that the numeric designation progression skipped 5-6, 7, 8, and 9.

There are potentially several "outside" customer launches expected in March from both LC-39A and SLC-40, so NET March is truly No Earlier Than.

I'm wondering if it's not just a mistake, but Starlink Group 5-10 mission has been moved to NET March 29 (in place of Starlink Group 6-2 mission, which presumably got delayed because of Starlink V2 Mini issues) and has been assigned booster 1067.11 on Next Spaceflight.

https://nextspaceflight.com/launches/details/7126

This is the booster that's going to be used for Starlink Group 5-5 tomorrow (as 1067.10), so it would mean that SpaceX wants to launch the same booster in the space of a few days, including return to port aboard ASDS.

However, it would be great to get any kind of confirmation before we start to get excited.

EDIT: It probably is a mistake, as this mission had this booster assigned on Next Spaceflight previously, before it moved to the left from April.

The booster for Starlink 5-10 will probably be B1077-4, which was previously set to launch Starlink 6-2 when that mission was scheduled for March 30th.

Edit: NextSpaceflight now listing B1077-4

It’s obvious that it’ll be JRtI as the drone ship for Starlink 5-10.

How can ASoG fit another booster on the deck? And is it worth towing that drone ship back to the recovery area at this point?

SpaceX is targeting Wednesday, March 29 at 4:01 p.m. ET (20:01 UTC) for a Falcon 9 launch of 56 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. If needed, there are additional launch opportunities the same day at 5:43 p.m. ET (21:43 UTC) and 7:22 p.m. (23:22 UTC). Backup opportunities are also available on Thursday, March 30 at 3:36 p.m. ET (19:36 UTC), 5:16 p.m. ET (21:16 UTC), and 6:57 p.m. ET (22:57 UTC).

The first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched Crew-5, GPS III Space Vehicle 06, and Inmarsat I-6 F2. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Just Read the Instructions droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff.

Hard to see if it was actually correcting late, or just compensating for wind.

Arrival! SpaceX Falcon 9 B1077 returns from Starlink 5-10.

Noticeable lack of Octagrabber use, the booster has been chained to the deck.

Can I ask why no Octagrabber used this time? Isn’t that unusual?

After an morning flyover at #NASA I noticed JRTI had just dropped of Booster B1077 from its latest Starlink mission last week. JRTI is looking a little rough lately and Octagrabber was out sunning on deck. Be watching very soon for more flyover pics 😉. w/@FarryFaz #SpaceX

Octograbber is seen hiding in its enclosure as B1077 was chained to the deck of Just Read the Instructions after Starlink 4-10. JRTI has been looking noticeable more worn down recently, stay tuned for a quick photo comparison from the past year and a half
