A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch the 76th group of satellites for SpaceX’s Starlink broadband network, a mission designated Starlink 5-10. The Starlink Group 5-5 mission is headed to the 43º inclination shell of Starlink's second generation constellation. Satellites in this shell will be orbiting Earth in a 540km circular orbit at 43º inclination. This mission will carry 53-56 satellites into a 320x340km 43º orbit and from there they'll raise their orbits to operational altitude.

Only 60%... A good chance for a 1 day slip...

Good mission so far. Though the landing was a bit more off center than usual. Apparently repainting the bullseye didn’t help the booster hit dead center.
