Launch Window: 10:30:00AM EST (7:30:00AM PST, 15:30:00 UTC)
Launch site: SLC-40, Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, CCSFS, Florida
Core Booster Recovery: ASDS
Booster: B1076.11
Fairings: Reused
Mass: 24 Starlink 2.0 mini Satellites
Orbit: LEO
Yearly Launch Number: 19
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch the 142nd group of satellites (68th of 2nd generation) for SpaceX’s Starlink broadband network, a mission designated Starlink 6-40. The Starlink Group 6-40 mission is a V2 mini launch to their second generation constellation.
The Starlink Group 6-40 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 23 Starlink v2 Mini satellites into a 344x353km 43° orbit and from there they'll raise their orbits to operational altitude.
