SpaceX plans to launch 21 Starlink satellites into Generation 2 Group 8 on 2024-04-06 at 02:31 UTC with a four hour launch window. Why just 21? There are six with direct to cell capabilities. The launch will be from Space Launch Complex 4 East at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The operational orbit will be 535 km circular at 33°. This will be the 6th flight of booster B1081 with a turnaround time of 33 days. Booster recovery will be attempted on the droneship _Of Course I Still Love You_.
