Launch Date: December 28
Launch Window: 11:02PM EST (8:02PM PST, 04:02 UTC on the 29th)
Launch site: SLC-40, Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS), Florida
Core Booster Recovery: ASDS - ASOG
Booster: B1069.12
Fairings: Reused
Mass: 23 Starlink 2.0 mini Satellites
Orbit: LEO
Yearly Launch Number: 96 orbital, 2 suborbital losses
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch the 130th group of satellites for SpaceX’s Starlink broadband network, a mission designated Starlink 6-36. The Starlink Group 6-36 mission is a V2 mini launch to their second generation constellation.
The Starlink Group 6-36 mission is headed to the 43º inclination shell of Starlink's second generation constellation. Satellites in this shell will be orbiting Earth in a 530km circular orbit at 43º inclination. This mission will carry 23 Starlink v2 Mini satellites into a 344x353km 43° orbit and from there they'll raise their orbits to operational altitude.
