A batch of 20 satellites for the Starlink mega-constellation - SpaceX's project for space-based Internet communication system.
Launch trajectory and telemetry simulations provided by Flight Club - a rocket launch simulator and orbital trajectory visualiser for all things space!
All satellites are believed to have reentered the atmosphere. Downgrading the outcome to full failure.
A RUD of the second stage engine during its second burn led to deployment of the Starlink satellites into a lower than intended orbit. Some may be salvageable using their onboard propulsion to compensate.
Payload deployment confirmed, orbit data pending.
Liftoff.
T-0 is accurate to the second
Falcon 9 is a two-stage rocket designed and manufactured by SpaceX for the reliable and safe transport of satellites and the Dragon spacecraft into orbit. The Block 5 variant is the fifth major interval aimed at improving upon the ability for rapid reusability.
