Kolejna paczka Starlinków z dodatkami 18.08.2020 o 14:31:16,555 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 11/v1.0 L10) oraz SkySat 19, SkySat 20 i SkySat 21. Pierwszy stopień RN (B1049.6) w T+8' 45" wylądował na barce ASDS OCISLY na Atlantyku.

(...) Lot przebiegł prawidłowo i satelity zostały uwolnione na wstępnej orbicie okołoziemskiej, skąd pod własnym napędem dotrą do operacyjnej orbity o wysokości około 550 km. Proces podwyższania orbity zajmie kilka tygodni. (...)

Designated B1049 in SpaceX’s fleet, the booster used on Tuesday’s mission first flew from Cape Canaveral in September 2018 in the launch of Telesat’s Telstar 18 VANTAGE communications satellites. After landing on a SpaceX drone ship, the booster launched again from California in January 2019 with 10 Iridium voice and data relay satellites, and again returned to a propulsive touchdown on an offshore recovery vessel.
The Falcon first stage launched three more times with satellites for SpaceX’s Starlink broadband network, most recently on June 3. SpaceX says the Falcon 9’s first stage booster is capable of at least 10 flights without a major overhaul, though engineers perform routine inspections and refurbishment between each mission. (...)
The three Planet-owned Earth observation satellites deployed in orbit Tuesday are the last three of 21 SkySat high-resolution reconnaissance platforms the San Francisco-based company plans to launch.
The SkySats join 18 others Planet has launched aboard U.S., European and Indian rockets since 2013, supplying regularly-updated sharp images of the world’s cities, forests, farms, waterways, and other regions of interest to government and commercial users.
Planet confirmed its ground team acquired the first radio signals from all three satellites minutes after Tuesday’s launch, confirming the spacecraft were alive and well in orbit.
The SkySats offer Planet’s customers high-resolution views of Earth, while a flock of more than 100 smaller Dove CubeSats provide wider area coverage at lower resolution.
Planet launched three identical SkySats on a Falcon 9/Starlink launch June 13, and the three new spacecraft launched Tuesday will bring the SkySat fleet to 21 satellites.
Built by Maxar, each SkySat satellite is about the size of a dishwasher and weighs about 242 pounds (110 kilograms) at launch. (...)

Blackened and scorched from five previous ascents and high-energy re-entries, B1049 today became the first Falcon 9 core to log a sixth launch. Photo Credit: Jeff Seibert/AmericaSpace(...) Additionally, SpaceX continues to ramp up its reusability statistics. Since March 2017, a total of 17 Falcon 9 cores have flown twice, two have launched on three occasions, two others have done so four times and another pair have logged five missions. With today’s flight, B1049 stands alone in having launched six times.
And with B1048—the first booster to record a fifth launch—having been lost at the end of an otherwise successful final mission in March, only B1051, which flew its own fifth mission less than two weeks ago, stands primed to match the achievement of B1049. Two Falcon 9 cores have flown three times and another pair have each logged two launches in 2020 alone. And out of 14 Falcon 9 missions so far this year, all but two have done so atop previously-used cores. (...)
