Launch Date: September 23
Launch Window: 8:06pm EDT (5:06pm PDT, 00:06 UTC on the 24th)
Launch site: SLC-40, Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS), Florida
Core Booster Recovery: ASDS - JRTI
Booster: B1060.17
Fairings: Reused
Mass: 22 Starlink 2.0 mini Satellites
Orbit: LEO
Yearly Launch Number: 67
B1060 will be the second booster to hit the 17 launch milestone.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch the 106th group of satellites for SpaceX’s Starlink broadband network, a mission designated Starlink 6-18. The Starlink Group 6-18 mission is a V2 mini launch to their second generation constellation.
The Starlink Group 6-18 mission is headed to the 43º inclination shell of Starlink's second generation constellation. Satellites in this shell will be orbiting Earth in a 530km circular orbit at 43º inclination. This mission will carry 22 Starlink v2 Mini satellites into a 344x353km 43° orbit and from there they'll raise their orbits to operational altitude.
