Thread for the Starlink 5-11 group launch.

NSF Threads for Starlink 5-11: Discussion

Launch 12 June 2023 at 07:10 UTC (3:10 a.m. EDT) from Cape Canaveral SLC-40, on booster 1073-9.  A first stage droneship landing is expected aboard Just Read the Instructions.

Main payload: 52 Starlink v1.5 satellites.  Launching into the Gen2 constellation.

Launch to a mid-inclination orbit on a southeastern trajectory.  Initial orbit is 299 x 338 km, inclined 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.

A Falcon 9 will launch SES' mPOWER 5&6 communications satellites from pad 40 on June 9, in the evening EDT. A Falcon 9 will launch the Satria communications satellite for Indonesia from pad 40 on June 19. Upcoming launches include more Starlink batches.

Which first stage will be used for this launch?

The May 16 press briefing revealed Falcon 9 first stages are now cleared for use up to twenty times for Starlink launches. 1058.16 and 1060.16 are assumedly back in the rotation for such launches.

1076.6 and 1073.9 will eventually undergo modifications to become the Falcon Heavy side boosters for Jupiter 3 (NET August), and will therefore not be available after that work commences.

Available first stages, with date of most recent recovery:
1058.16  Dec 17, 2022
1060.16  Jan 3
1073.9    Apr 19
1069.8    May 4
1067.12  May 14 (maybe)
1076.6    May 19 (maybe)
1080.2    May 21 (maybe)

Edit June 6: It's B1073.9.

The next SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch a Starlink batch from pad 40 on June 1 at 7:09 a.m. EDT. A Falcon 9 will launch the Cargo Dragon CRS-28 resupply mission to the ISS from pad 39A on June 3 at 12:34 p.m. EDT. A Falcon 9 will launch SES' mPOWER 5&6 communications satellites from pad 40 on June 9, in the evening EDT. A Falcon 9 will launch the Satria communications satellite for Indonesia from pad 40 on June 19. Upcoming launches include more Starlink batches.
per https://www.launchphotography.com/Launch_Viewing_Guide.html 27 May update

More starlink batches is placed after Satria launch 19 June. Also if droneships in use 1 June and 3 June then it seems quite possible that next time a drone ship is available would be around 9th June. So should we conclude 5-11 is delayed to after mPOWER or even after Satria?

So should we conclude 5-11 is delayed to after mPOWER or even after Satria?

Looking ahead at June; I've included some of my deductions and inferences, marking them with question marks:

Scheduled to launch in June:
Jun 1 May 30      CCSFS SLC-40   ASOG    Starlink 6-4
Jun 3                    KSC LC-39A       JRTI       SpX-28
Jun 5                    CCSFS SLC-40   ASOG?   Starlink 5-11
Jun 9                    CCSFS SLC-40   JRTI?      O3b mPower 5/6
*NET mid? Jun   CCSFS SLC-40   ASOG?   Starlink 5-12
OR
*NET mid? Jun   CCSFS SLC-40    ASOG?   Starlink 6-5
Jun 19                 CCSFS SLC-40   JRTI?      Satria

Single asterisk = SLC-40 launch opportunity between June 9 and June 19?

One or two SLC-40 launch opportunities in the last third of June?

Yes, given the current schedule, Starlink 5-11 could be delayed to after the mPower launch, circa May 14, with first stage recovery aboard JRTI.

That should work regarding both SLC-40 and ASDS turnarounds.  Another Starlink launch from SLC-40 would follow Satria.

Something like:
Jun 1 May 30   CCSFS SLC-40   ASOG   Starlink 6-4
Jun 3                 KSC LC-39A       JRTI      SpX-28
Jun 9                 CCSFS SLC-40   ASOG   O3b mPower 5/6
~Jun 14            CCSFS SLC-40   JRTI     Starlink 5-11
Jun 19               CCSFS SLC-40   ASOG   Satria
NET ~Jun 23    CCSFS SLC-40   JRTI      Starlink 5-12
OR
NET ~Jun 23    CCSFS SLC-40   JRTI     Starlink 6-5
NET ~Jun 27    CCSFS SLC-40   ASOG   the Starlink not launched immediately previous

However
Starlink 6-4 now will launch from SLC-40 on June 4.  Again, I expect that we'll soon read that this launch will be delayed, as well.

If you scroll up, the advisory has shown this launch for five days. They still haven't updated either 6-4 or this one and I know for a fact both ain't going on the dates it shows right now.

SFN Launch Schedule, updated June 3:
Launch June 9 07:56 to 11:25 UTC = 3:56 to 7:25 am EDT

Likely based on the FAA ATCSCC Ops Plan (which should always be taken with a grain of salt).

Perhaps there will be a delay to June 10 or 11?  The June 9 launch "windows" FAA vs. Ben Cooper overlap only four minutes.

Such a delay would better accommodate turnaround for one of the ASDS currently at sea.  JRTI?

Extrapolated June 11 window: 07:01-10:35Z
Unless there is something scheduled to occur that would prevent a June 11 launch? 🤔

I'm guessing the 9/10th June is only staying in COPA as an unlikely possibility if CRS-28 is delayed by a week+. When CRS-28 launches then this will be quickly updated to a more realistic date like 11th, which as zubenelgenubi pointed out, the cooper time fits that suggestion.

Just under 7 days from 4th 12:20 to 11th ~07:00 for JRTI to be ready in position is tight.
