SpaceX Starlink Group 6-19 Launch

SpaceX plans to launch 22 Starlink V2 mini satellites into the Generation 2 Group 6 shell on 2023-09-29 at 22:39 UTC. The launch will be from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The first stage booster, B1069, will be making its tenth flight, after a turnaround time of 49 days since its last mission. The operational orbit will be 530 km circular at 43°.

Weather is forecast [PDF] as only 40% favourable for launch. SpaceX continues to use its flexible launch window schedule for this mission.

If needed, three backup opportunities are available starting at 7:34 p.m. ET [23:34 UTC] until 10:15 p.m. ET [02:15 UTC on 2023-09-30].
