Jessica Anderson, a SpaceX production engineer who hosted the company’s live launch webcast, said the change in trajectory from the northeast to the southeast is intended to increase odds of good booster and fairing recovery conditions in the winter months.

The mission Thursday, designated Starlink 4-5, was SpaceX’s 34th dedicated launch with Starlink satellites.
Dedicated Falcon 9 launches with SpaceX’s latest generation of Starlink spacecraft have carried between 48 and 53 satellites per mission. SpaceX has now launched 1,993 Starlink satellites to date. (...)

Liftoff of SpaceX’s and the United States’ first orbital launch of 2022 occurred late Thursday afternoon. Photo Credit: SpaceX(...) Towed out to sea by the Zion M. Falgout tug, it reached its recovery point, about 395 miles (637 kilometres) southeast of the Cape on Tuesday. This ASDS location was selected to improve the likelihood of fairing recovery options in the winter months. (...)
It was also fitting that the United States’ 2022 manifest should kick off from historic Pad 39A, a complex first used for the maiden Saturn V launch in November 1967. Since then, it supported all but one of the Apollo lunar missions, as well as the launch of the Skylab space station and no less than 82 Space Shuttle flights.
Following its retirement from shuttle service after STS-135 in July 2011, the complex was leased to SpaceX and between February 2017 and today a total of 39 Falcon 9 and three Falcon Heavy missions have taken place. By the end of 2021, SpaceX had flown a dozen launches off 39A, equaling with 2017 as the pad’s most-used year on record. (...)
This marked the fourth group of Starlinks—202 satellites in total—to have been emplaced at the 53.2-degree plane of inclination since last November.
