SpaceX Starlink Group 4-11 Launch

SpaceX plans to launch 50 Starlink satellites into Shell 4, with an eventual 540 km circular service orbit at 53.22° inclination, on 2022-02-25 at 17:12 UTC. The launch will be from Space Launch Complex 4 East at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The first stage booster, B1063, will be making its fourth flight. SpaceX plans monthly Starlink launches from Vandenberg as it fills out Shell 4 of the Starlink constellation. This shell’s inclination is reachable from either the Florida or California launch sites.

Here is the pre-flight preview from Everyday Astronaut.

The flight was a complete success, with the booster landing on the drone ship and the second stage deploying the payload in the intended orbit. I have cued the replay video to start one minute before launch.
