SpaceX F9 : Starlink group 10-2 : CCSFS SLC-40 : 23 June 2024 (17:15 UTC) by zubenelgenubi on 04 Jun, 2024 22:17
Thread for the Starlink Group 10-2 launch.

Launch 23 June 2024, at 17:15:00 UTC (1:15 pm EDT), from CCSFS SLC-40, on booster 1078-11. The first stage successfully landed aboard A Shortfall of Gravitas.

Payload 22 Starlink V2 Mini satellites to 53 degree inclination orbit on a northeastern trajectory. Initial orbit 264 x 278 km.

Starlink 8-5 is scheduled to launch June 5 UTC from SLC-40, JRTI 1st stage recovery.

Starlink 10-1 is scheduled to launch June 7/8 UTC from SLC-40, ASOG likely 1st stage recovery.

LC-39A has transitioned to Falcon Heavy operations for the June 25 GOES-U launch. I expect all June Falcon 9 Florida launches will depart from SLC-40.

The June Florida Starlink launches, and the Astra-1P/SES-24 launch, should (generally) alternate between ASOG and JRTI.

However:

Quote from: Gav Cornwall tweet
ASOG droneship is back to sea to support Starlink 6-64.

This was a potential turnaround record of just four hours from docking with F9 from the previous mission to undocking for the next.

Busy times.... nsf.live/spacecoast

I find it interesting that SpaceX chose to go with Starlink 8-5, skipping 8-4.

Also, I note that SpaceX has not yet started the Florida Starlink Group 7 launches.

The next SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch a Starlink batch from pad 40 on June 4 at 10:16 p.m. EDT. A Falcon 9 will launch a Starlink batch from pad 40 on June 7 at 6:58-10:58 p.m. EDT. Upcoming launches include more Starlink batches from pad 40. A Falcon 9 will launch the SES-24/Astra 1P communications satellite for SES from pad 40 on mid-June. The next Falcon Heavy will launch NASA & NOAA's GOES-U ~~GOES-N~~ weather satellite from pad 39A on June 25 at 5:16-7:16 p.m. EDT. The side boosters will land back at the Cape about eight minutes after launch.

This Starlink launch could be before or after the geocommsat launch, depending on how long after NET June 10 the geocommsat launches.

Edit June 6: This launch is before Astra 1P/SES-24.

Apparently, this launch is on a northeastern trajectory.

Launch azimuth -> 53 degrees orbital inclination? That would rule out Group 6.

Remaining choices:
Group 7 northeastern trajectory choice
Group 8
New Group 10

Which first stage will be used for this launch? (semi-rhetorical question)

Falcon 9 first stages are now apparently cleared for use up to twenty times for non-crewed launches, although that number is apparently more restricted for Cargo Dragon or Cygnus than these other payloads.

1064.6 and 1065.6 are the Falcon Heavy side boosters for Europa Clipper. 1072.1 and 1086.1 are assigned as the Falcon Heavy side boosters for GOES-U.

1073.16 and 1076.15 may undergo modifications to become Falcon Heavy side boosters for a future launch, but both are currently available for "single-stick" launches. (I personally wonder if the above will be done.)

Opinion based upon a 13 June 2024 (local time at launch site) launch:

The latest launch per element set data from Dr Kelso is at 8:32 PM EDT. Local civil twilight is at 8:47 PM EDT. If I were along the path I would look but it may not be ideal lighting conditions.

Outdated information based upon a 12 June 2024 (local time) launch below:

I would put the best launch times for jellyfish effects at 8:52 PM, 9:06 PM and 9:08 PM EDT. With a northeast trajectory eastern portions of GA, SC, NC and VA might see it as well.

Launch site sun events:

Sunset: 8:20 PM EDT
Civil twilight: 8:47 PM EDT
Nautical twilight: 9:22 PM EDT
Astronomical twilight: 9:56 PM EDT

I'm on NC Outer Banks. Previous NE-bound launch, Starlink 10-1, launched just before 10 p.m....late in the window. Had a nice view from my deck of the 2nd half of Stage 2 flight. It was a pretty sight, but plume was not brightly lit. Hope for better tomorrow night.

10-1 launched at 9:56 PM EDT so around astronomical twilight. I looked at the launch video and did not see any sunlight on the booster up to about 117 km and higher for the second stage. Some folks did get photos of it including one person using night vision equipment. It is possible that the second stage engine was illuminating the plume a little but it was in Earth shadow making it a lesser visual experience.

Hence the last three launch times for 10-2 may turn out much better.

If I had ascent trajectory data (longitude, latitude, height) as a function of time I have a program that would show when it was sunlit.

SpaceX is targeting Wednesday, June 12 for a Falcon 9 launch of 22 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Liftoff is targeted for 5:20 p.m. ET, with backup opportunities available until 9:00 p.m. ET. If needed, additional opportunities are also available on Thursday, June 13 starting at 4:46 p.m. ET.

A live webcast of this mission will begin on X @SpaceX about five minutes prior to liftoff. Watch live.

This is the 16th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched previously launched SES-22, ispace's HAKUTO-R MISSION 1, Amazonas-6, CRS-27, Bandwagon-1, and 10 Starlink missions. (=B1073.16) Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Just Read the Instructions droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

SFN SpaceX scrubs the Starlink 10-2 launch from Cape Canaveral due to poor weather [updated June 13, Will Robinson-Smith]
Quote
The mission was delayed from Wednesday [June 12] for reasons that SpaceX didn’t disclose. Early Wednesday afternoon, SpaceX pushed the planned 5:20 p.m. launch to the end of the evening’s launch window before ultimately scrubbing the mission mid-afternoon. At that time it was obvious preparations were running behind schedule as the rocket [was] not raised [to] vertical launch configuration in time for a launch.

Some places are now listing NET June 23 launch date, but I'm guessing that's based on the assumption that Astra 1P will now take precedence. Is that confirmed?

From what I can tell, the weather report for 10-2 lists today and NOTAMs haven't been cancelled yet, so I think SpaceX might still be hoping to launch today. Any idea if the rocket is still vertical? That would be a good indication.

Checking in with the SpaceX recovery fleet for clues, it looks like the Starlink 10-2 mission is standing down and the next mission from SLC-40 will be SES-24.

JRTI droneship appears to be heading to the expected LZ for SES and Doug looks to be returning to Port Canaveral.

Tough week dealing with production challenges and then a rare scrub at engine startup yesterday on 10-2. Unfortunately there is a real issue so we need to go inspect the hardware in detail on this vehicle. Rocket will get set to the side and we’ll pivot to SES as the rocket and payload are ready to rock. Painful, but safety and reliability are the priority.

This will be the first week we’ve gone without a Falcon Launch in a long time. Unplanned downtime due to weather or unexpected issues happens, it’s how we respond that matters. The Launch business takes grit and when things go wrong, our true form comes to life.

Bring it on!!!

When was the last launch abort post-engine ignition? I feel like I remember one early this year or last year.

According to SFN it was GPS III SV04 on October 3rd 2020. But after watching the video, I'm not sure the engines start up.

Starlink 6 on March 15th 2020 definitely aborts at T-0.

I just did a lot of searching, although there have been previous pre-T0 pad scrubs (> 00:01), this is (IMO) the first time an F9 has aborted post-ignition. If someone comes up with a better answer, I'll stand corrected.

Update: Apparently I corrected myself and found the first occurrence. See my next post.

Nope, that aborted at T-3 sec. (SOURCE) but eventually, launch later that same day after recycling and moving some marine traffic away from the flight path.

This may be the first post-ignition abort.

Quote
Saturday’s launch was aborted when the flight computer detected slightly high pressure in the engine 5 combustion chamber. During rigorous inspections of the engine, SpaceX engineers discovered a faulty check valve on the Merlin engine. The failed valve was replaced on Saturday and after thorough analysis the vehicle has been cleared for launch.

what about this
this very much looks like a post ignition abort based on the steam from the flame diverter!

For those of you struggling with the embedded links as I was on another device:
rockenthusiast pointed to the Mar 15, 2020 post ignition abort of the sixth Starlink flight.
I have that as the 88th flight of F9, and 365 or so Falcon launches ago.
catdlr pointed to the May 19, 2012 post ignition abort of CRS-2 which I have as the fifth f9 flight.
That was way back in the version 1 of everything, or version 0.
As it was just pointed out by someone on NSF, never say never, but post ignition aborts very rare.

So I was incorrect with the statement of the First post-ignition abort. Rocket Guy informed me of several others including these two from the past. It's wonderful to have such highly documented coverage of all the F9 launches since inception.

SES-8 (probably TEA-TEB igniter but not engine start-up)
https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=33367.msg1125529#msg1125529

SES-9
https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=39348.msg1497426#msg1497426

Whether it's an actual engine shut-down or T-0 failure causing a launch abort, there have been several but definitely not the norm.

Back to launch coverage.

Tony

Yes. I think Ben has the launch window wrong vs the current NOTAM.

SpaceX is targeting Sunday, June 23 for a Falcon 9 launch of 22 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Liftoff is targeted for 1:15 p.m. ET, with backup opportunities available until 5:01 p.m. ET. If needed, additional opportunities are also available on Monday, June 24 starting at 1:00 p.m. ET.

A live webcast of this mission will begin on X @SpaceX about five minutes prior to liftoff. Watch live.

This is the 11th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Crew-6, mPOWER-B, USSF-124, and seven Starlink missions. (=B1078-11) Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

Doug departed PC on Jun 21 sometime before 9:10pm ET

Looks like this went out for GOES-U and Bob headed north for this mission after SES-24.

Some reusability stats for this launch (Starlink Group 10-2):

Booster B1078.11 turnaround time:
26 days 2 hours 51 minute
(its previous mission was Starlink Group 6-60 on May 28, 2024 UTC).

The Falcon 9 booster B1078.11 has made it into the Top10 turnaround time thanks to the first stage swap for this mission. To be precise, it ranks 6th from the top, with the record still standing at 21 days, 6 hours, and 9 minutes between the Axiom-1 and Starlink Group 4-16 launches using B1062 in April 2022.

FYI: median turnaround time for Falcon 9 / Heavy boosters is currently 34.07 days *
* – based on the last 30 launches, excluding new first stages.

Launchpad SLC-40 turnaround time:
2 days 19 hours 40 minutes
(the previous launch from this pad was Astra 1P / SES-24 on Jun 20, 2024 UTC).

Breaking the previous record by a mere 20 minutes, this launch at SLC-40 now holds the title for the fastest turnaround time ever.

FYI: median turnaround time for SLC-40 is currently 5.03 days *
* – based on the last 30 launches.

The same type of stats for previous SpaceX launches may be found on this spreadsheet online.

Fastest turnaround time ever? SpaceX has a long way to go before they set global pad turnaround records.

For example, E-3 No. 1 (Apr 15 1506:45) and E-3 No. 2 (Apr 16 1607:41) both launched from Site 1/5 only 25 hours apart (in 1960 no less!). A more well-known example that includes 2 fully successful launches is Vostok 5 & 6, two crewed launches less than 2 days apart from 1/5. I also recall seeing some <24-hour turnarounds from Site 1/5, but I don't remember when they were.

The fastest for SpaceX, of course. Thanks for pointing this out.
