Starlinki z dodatkami 13.06. o 09:21 z Cape Canaveral wystartowała RN Falcon-9R. Wyniosła ona w T+8' 55" na orbitę o parametrach: hp=190 km, ha=380 km, i=53,00° 58 satelitów Starlink (misja Starlink 9/v1.0 L8) oraz SkySat 16, SkySat 17, SkySat 18. Pierwszy stopień RN w T+8' 42" wylądował na barce ASDS OCISLY na Atlantyku.

Po wykonanej pracy pierwszy stopień wylądował na platformie morskiej. W tym starcie wykorzystano pierwszy stopień po raz trzeci (oznaczenie B1059.3). Był to rekordowy “cykl przygotowania” wyrzutni rakietowej dla firmy SpaceX – pomiędzy tym a poprzednim startem z wyrzutni LC-40 było zaledwie 9 dni i 8 godzin.

Photo: Mike Killian / AmericaSpace.comSpaceX looks set for another record for its personal-best books this month, having launched a third Falcon 9 in just two weeks to deliver another batch of Starlink internet communications satellites to low-Earth orbit. Liftoff of the previously-flown B1059 core—making its third foray into space, having previously lofted a pair of Dragon cargo missions to the International Space Station (ISS)—took place at 5:21 a.m. EDT Saturday from storied Space Launch Complex (SLC)-40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla.
With this morning’s successful launch, SpaceX intends two more flights before month’s end: another Starlink batch as soon as 22 June and a long-awaited Global Positioning System (GPS) Block III mission on the 30th. Should these two missions fly on time, it will mark the first time in SpaceX’s history that it will have scored four launches in a single calendar month.
This morning’s pre-sunrise flight was also notable in that B1059 was not put through a Static Fire Test of its nine Merlin 1D+ first-stage engines in the run-up to liftoff, an important indicator of the system’s growing maturity. Previously used in December 2019 and March 2020 to deliver the CRS-19 and CRS-20 Dragon missions to the space station as part of SpaceX’s Commercial Resupply Services contractual obligation to NASA, B1059 is the seventh Falcon 9 core in only 18 months to log a third launch. Elsewhere, the veteran Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship (ASDS), “Of Course I Still Love”—upon which 27 Falcon 9 cores have now safely landed since April 2016, out of 35 attempts—was in action yet again for this mission. It put to sea early Tuesday and was in the targeted recovery zone, some 390 miles (630 km) downrange of the Cape by Thursday morning. (...)

While Safyan would not disclose what Planet paid SpaceX to launch the six SkySats, SpaceX has published
pricing for rideshare launch services on its website. The company lists a price as low as $1 million for a 440-pound payload on a rideshare to a polar sun-synchronous orbit.
“That’s incredibly competitive pricing,” Safyan said. “Coupled with the fact that the Falcon 9 is one of the world’s most reliable and well-flown vehicles out there, and they’re going to a variety of orbits very regularly, makes it a very attractive offering.”
The cost to purchase the entire capacity of an Electron rocket mission from Rocket Lab is around $5.7 million. Rocket Lab’s Electron launcher can carry up to 496 pounds (225 kilograms) to a low-altitude orbit, or 330 pounds (150 kilograms) to a higher sun-synchronous orbit.
Safyan said SpaceX provided Planet with parameters to integrate the SkySats on top of a flat-packed stack of Starlink satellites.
Planet, headquartered in San Francisco, dispatched a small team to Cape Canaveral to prepare the three SkySats for launch.
“We were able to do it with a skeleton crew,” Safyan said in an interview with Spaceflight Now. “We were trying to minimize the number of people that needed to travel given the pandemic conditions.” (...)
