STARLINK DISCUSSION NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES

SpaceX is launching Starlink to provide high-speed, low-latency broadband connectivity across the globe, including to locations where internet has traditionally been too expensive, unreliable, or entirely unavailable. We also firmly believe in the importance of a natural night sky for all of us to enjoy, which is why we have been working with leading astronomers around the world to better understand the specifics of their observations and engineering changes we can make to reduce satellite brightness. Our goals include:

Making the satellites generally invisible to the naked eye within a week of launch. We're doing this by changing the way the satellites fly to their operational altitude, so that they fly with the satellite knife-edge to the Sun. We are working on implementing this as soon as possible for all satellites since it is a software change.

Minimizing Starlink's impact on astronomy by darkening satellites so they do not saturate observatory detectors. We're accomplishing this by adding a deployable visor to the satellite to block sunlight from hitting the brightest parts of the spacecraft. The first unit is flying on the next launch, and by flight 9 in June all future Starlink satellites will have sun visors. Additionally, information about our satellites' orbits are located on space-track.org to facilitate observation scheduling for astronomers. We are interested in feedback on ways to improve the utility and timeliness of this information.

To better explain the details of brightness mitigation efforts, we need to explain more about how the Starlink satellites work.

Starlink Orbits

Starlink has three phases of flight: (1) orbit raise, (2) parking orbit (380 km above Earth), and (3) on-station (550 km above Earth). During orbit raise the satellites use their thrusters to raise altitude over the course of a few weeks. Some of the satellites go directly to station while others pause in the parking orbit to allow the satellites to precess to a different orbital plane. Once satellites are on-station they reconfigure so the antennas face Earth and the solar array goes vertical so that it can track the Sun to maximize power generation. As a result of this maneuver, the satellites become much darker because the solar array visibility fr om the ground is greatly reduced.

Currently, about half of the over 400 satellites are on-station and the other half are orbit raising or in the parking orbit. Satellites spend a small fraction of their lives orbit raising or parking and spend the vast majority of their lives on-station. It's important to note that at any given time, only about 300 satellites will be orbit raising or parking. The rest of the satellites will be in the operational orbit on-station.

Starlink Satellite

The Starlink satellite design was driven by the fact that they fly at a very low altitude compared to other communications satellites. We do this to prioritize space traffic safety and to minimize the latency of the signal between the satellite and the users who are getting internet service fr om it. Because of the low altitude, drag is a major factor in the design. During orbit raise, the satellites must minimize their cross-sectional area relative to the "wind," otherwise drag will cause them to fall out of orbit. High drag is a double-edged sword—it means that flying the satellites is tricky, but it also means that any satellites that are experiencing problems will de-orbit quickly and safely burn up in the atmosphere. This reduces the amount of orbital debris or "space junk" in orbit.

This low-drag and thrusting flight configuration resembles an open book, where the solar array is laid out flat in front of the vehicle. When Starlink satellites are orbit raising, they roll to a limited extent about the velocity vector for power generation, always keeping the cross sectional area minimized while keeping the antennas facing Earth enough to stay in contact with the ground stations.

When the satellites reach their operational orbit of 550 km, drag is still a factor—so any inoperable satellite will quickly decay—but the attitude control system is able to overcome this drag with the solar array raised above the satellite in a vertical orientation that we call "shark-fin." This is the orientation in which the satellite spends the majority of its operational life.

Satellite Visibility

Satellites are visible from the ground at sunrise or sunset. This happens because the satellites are illuminated by the Sun but people or telescopes on the ground are in the dark. These conditions only happen for a fraction of Starlink's 90-minute orbit.

This simple diagram highlights why satellites in orbit raise are so much brighter than the satellites that are on-station. During orbit raise, when the solar array is in open book, sunlight can reflect off of both the solar array and the body of the satellite and hit the ground. Once on-station, only certain parts of the chassis can reflect light to the ground.

Physics of Satellite Brightness

The apparent magnitude of an object is a measure of the brightness of a star or object observed from Earth. It is a reverse logarithmic scale, so higher numbers correspond to dimmer objects. A star of magnitude 3 is approximately 2.5 times brighter than a star of magnitude 4. Based on observations that have been taken by us and by members of the astronomical community, current Starlink satellites have an average apparent magnitude of 5.5 when on-station and brighter during orbit raise. Objects up to about magnitude 6.5-7 are visible to the naked eye (naked-eye visibility is closer to 4 in most suburbs), and our goal is for Starlink satellites to be magnitude 7 or better for almost all phases of their mission.

There are two types of reflections off of Starlink satellites: diffuse and specular. Diffuse reflections occur when light is scattered in many different directions. Imagine shining a flashlight at a white wall. Specular reflections happen when light is reflected in a particular direction. For example, the glint of sunlight off of a mirror. Diffuse reflections are the biggest contributor to observed brightness on the ground, because diffuse reflections go in all directions. You can see diffuse reflections as long as the satellite is visible. This is why Starlink satellites can create the "string of pearls" effect in the night sky. It's a little counter-intuitive, but the shiny components of the Starlink satellites are a much smaller problem. Whether diffuse or specular, having a high reflectance helps the satellites stay cool in space. When sunlight hits a specular surface of the spacecraft and reflects, the vast majority of light reflects in the specular (mirror reflection) direction, which is generally out toward space (not toward Earth). Occasionally when it does, the glint only lasts for a second or less. In fact, specular surfaces tend to be the dimmest part of the satellite unless you are at just the right geometry.

The biggest contributors to Starlink being bright are the white diffuse phased array antennas on the bottom of the satellite, the white diffuse parabolic antennas on the sides (not shown below), and the white diffuse back side of the solar array. These surfaces are all white to keep temperatures down so components do not overheat. The key to making Starlink darker is to prevent sunlight from illuminating these white surfaces and scattering via reflection toward observers on the ground. While in orbit raise and the parking orbit the solar array dominates due to the much larger surface area. However, once the satellites are at their operational altitude, the antennas dominate because the bright backside of the solar array is shadowed.

Solutions In-Work

We've taken an experimental and iterative approach to reducing the brightness of the Starlink satellites. Orbital brightness is an extremely difficult problem to tackle analytically, so we've been hard at work on both ground and on-orbit testing.

For example, earlier this year we launched DarkSat, which is an experimental satellite wh ere we darkened the phased array and parabolic antennas designed to tackle on-station brightness. This reduced the brightness of the satellite by about 55%, as was verified by differential optical measurements comparing DarkSat to other nearby Starlink satellites. This is nearly enough of a brightness reduction to make the satellite invisible to the naked eye while on-station. However, black surfaces in space get hot and reflect some light (including in the IR spectrum), so we are moving forward with a sun visor solution instead. This avoids thermal issues due to black paint, and is expected to be darker than DarkSat since it will block all light from reaching the white diffuse antennas.

Early Mission (Orbit Raise and Parking Orbit) Roll Maneuver

Since the visor is intended to help with brightness while on-station, it does not shade the back of the solar array, which means that it will not prevent orbit raise and parking orbit brightness. For this, we are working on changing the way the satellite flies up from insertion to parking orbit and to station.

We're currently testing rolling the satellite so the vector of the Sun is in-plane with the satellite body, i.e. so the satellite is knife-edge to the Sun. This would reduce the light reflected onto Earth by reducing the surface area that receives light. This is possible when orbit raising and parking in the precession orbit because we don't have to constrain the antennas to be nadir facing to provide coverage to internet users. However, there are a couple of nuanced reasons why this is tricky to implement. First, rolling the solar array away from the Sun reduces the amount of power available to the satellite. Second, because the antennas will sometimes be rolled away from the ground, contact time with the satellites will be reduced. Third, the star tracker cameras are located on the sides of the chassis (the only place they can go and have adequate field of view). Rolling knife edge to the Sun can point one star tracker directly at the Earth and the other one directly at the Sun, which would cause the satellite to have degraded attitude knowledge.

There will be a small percentage of instances when the satellites cannot roll all the way to true knife edge to the Sun due to one of the aforementioned constraints. This could result in the occasional set of Starlink satellites in the orbit raise of flight that are temporarily visible for one part of an orbit.

On-Station Brightness

Satellites spend most of their lives on-station, wh ere they will always be in the shark-fin configuration during visible passes. We can adjust the solar array positioning in this configuration to reflect light from its largely specular solar cells away from Earth and to partially hide it behind the chassis. The main remaining goal is to block the phased arrays and antennae from direct view of the sun. The goal is to cover the white phased array antennas and the parabolic antennas on the sides of the satellite.

Using our low orbital altitude and flat satellite geometry to our advantage, we designed an RF-transparent deployable visor for the satellite that blocks the light from reaching most of the satellite body and all of the diffuse parts of the main body. This visor lays flat on the chassis during launch and deploys during satellite separation from Falcon 9. The visor prevents light from reflecting off of the diffuse antennas by blocking the light from reaching the antennas altogether. Not only does this approach avoid the thermal impacts from surface darkening the antennas, but it should also have a larger impact on brightness reduction. As previously noted, the first VisorSat prototype will launch in May and we will have these black, specular visors on all satellites by June. The parabolic antennas on the sides of the Starlink satellite also have visor-like coverings that darken them.

We have been working with leading astronomical groups in this effort—in particular the American Astronomical Society and the Vera C. Rubin Observatory—to better understand the methods and instruments employed by the astronomy community. With AAS, we have increased our understanding of the community as a whole through regular calls with a working group of astronomers during which we discuss technical details, provide updates, and work on how we can protect astronomical observations moving forward. A post on some of our sessions is here. One particularly useful presentation from a member of this working group is here.

While community understanding is critical to this problem, engineering problems are difficult to solve without specifics. The Vera C. Rubin Observatory was repeatedly flagged as the most difficult case to solve, so we've spent the last few months working very closely with a technical team there to do just that. Among other useful thoughts and discussions, the Vera Rubin team has provided a target brightness reduction that we are using to guide our engineering efforts as we iterate on brightness solutions.

These technical and community discussions are paired with our existing efforts to make the satellites easier for astronomers to avoid. Starlink trajectories are published through Space-track.org and celestrak.com, which many astronomers use in timing their observations to avoid satellite streaks. We've also started publishing predictive data prior to launch at the request of astronomers. These allow observatories to schedule around the satellites in the first few hours of deployment (as satellites de-tumble and enter the network).

Vera Rubin has been described as the limiting case for Starlink, due to its enormous aperture and wide field of view. These two characteristics work in concert to produce the perfect storm for satellite observations. Most astronomical systems look at an extremely small section of the sky (less than 1 degree), which makes it exceedingly unlikely that a satellite will cross in front of the imaging system in a given observation. On the other hand, systems with very large fields of view normally aren't extremely sensitive, meaning that, while streaks will occur, they will have a small impact on the overall data collection. This is why we've been working so closely with the team at the Rubin Observatory. In fact, despite its wide field of view, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory is sensitive enough to detect a sunlit golf ball as far away as the Moon.

So what can we do to mitigate our impact on these edge cases of wide, fast survey telescopes?

Minimizing the Impact on Astronomy

The huge collecting area of a larger telescopes like Vera C. Rubin Observatory leads to a sensitivity that will render even the darkest satellites visible.They are so sensitive that it won't be possible to build a satellite that will not produce streaks, in a typical long integration. There is much that can be done to reduce the impact of satellite streaks, and that starts with an understanding of how astronomical sensors work.

The astronomical community has done a great job of educating us on their imaging techniques. Optical systems use mirrors or lenses to focus light onto an imaging sensor. Most optical astronomy instruments use sensors called charge-coupled-devices (CCDs) as their detectors because astronomical targets, such as distant supernovae and galaxies, are generally dim–at the lim it of what can be detected by a sensor. For these applications, the lower noise level of CCDs allows for a higher signal-to-noise ratio for a given image, making it easier to see very faint features in the universe.

However, CCDs suffer from a key drawback: when compared to other common sensors, like the CMOS sensor in your cell phone. If you point your cell phone at a bright light, you'll see all the pixels saturate and turn white in the region of the bright source. If you look at the same target with an optical system that uses a CCD sensor, you'll notice that this bright spot extends to create vertical stripes on the image.

This difference is due to the way each sensor type reads the values for each pixel. While a CMOS sensor essentially has an amplifier at each pixel that turns the light collected into a digital value, a CCD sensor has a limited number of amplifiers and moves the collected light (in the form of electrons) across the sensor, to be digitized. This mechanism means that a saturated pixel on a CCD tends to wipe out data from an entire column of pixels.

This effect, commonly referred to as 'blooming,' is one example of how a very small but bright source of light can impact an astronomical observation. This principle is the core of our mitigation efforts. While it will not be possible to create satellites that are invisible to the most advanced optical equipment on Earth, by reducing the brightness of the satellites, we can make the existing strategies for dealing with similar issues, such as frame-stacking, dramatically more effective.

Future Satellites

SpaceX is committed to making future satellite designs as dark as possible. The next generation satellite, designed to take advantage of Starship's unique launch capabilities, will be specifically designed to minimize brightness while also increasing the number of consumers that it can serve with high-speed internet access.

While SpaceX is the first large constellation manufacturer and operator to address satellite brightness, we won't be the last. As launch costs continue to drop, more constellations will emerge and they too will need to ensure that the optical properties of their satellites don't create problems for observers on the ground. This is why we are working to make this problem easier for everyone to solve in the future.

Working under physical distancing requirements and other precautions against the coronavirus pandemic, range teams at Cape Canaveral are preparing for launches of Atlas 5 and Falcon 9 rockets from neighboring pads this weekend.

The back-to-back launches are scheduled for Saturday and Sunday from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, hauling up the U.S. Air Force's X-37B spaceplane and another batch of around 60 satellites for SpaceX's Starlink Internet network.

A United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket is first in line, with liftoff scheduled Saturday from Cape Canaveral's Complex 41 launch pad. The Atlas 5 will carry into orbit the military's reusable winged X-37B mini-space shuttle some time between 8:24 a.m. and 10:53 a.m. EDT (1224-1453 GMT), according to airspace warning notices associated with the launch.

Meanwhile, at pad 40 around a mile-and-half to the south of pad 41, SpaceX is gearing up to launch a Falcon 9 rocket at 3:53 a.m. EDT (0753 GMT) Sunday with 60 more Starlink spacecraft for the company's satellite broadband network.

The Falcon 9 launch attempt Sunday will only go ahead if the Atlas 5 rocket takes off as scheduled Saturday, according to Brig. Gen. Doug Schiess, commander of the 45th Space Wing, which manages range operations at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

For now, the Atlas 5 has Sunday booked as a backup launch opportunity on the Eastern Range at Cape Canaveral.

"We do have a really busy couple of weeks coming up here," Schiess said Tuesday. "We're working ver diligently for Saturday's (Atlas 5) launch ... then if that goes on schedule on Saturday morning, about 20 hours later, early Sunday morning, we will support a SpaceX commercial launch for Starlink."

...

If the Atlas 5 and Falcon 9 launches go off as scheduled this weekend, they would occur 19 hours, 29 minutes apart. That would mark the shortest turnaround between two orbital launches from Cape Canaveral since September 1967 when Delta-G and Atlas-Centaur rockets took off within a 10-hour span from separate launch pads, according to a launch log maintained by Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics who tracks global satellite and launch activity.

Last August, a Falcon 9 and an Atlas 5 rocket launched from Cape Canaveral in a period of less than 35 hours. That was the shortest span between two orbital missions at Cape Canaveral since May 1981.

Schiess said Tuesday that range teams at Cape Canaveral are working to reduce the time required between launches. In the last few decades, the range team needed up to 48 hours to reconfigure infrastructure between launches.

That was primarily driven by readying tracking radars, transmitters and other equipment to monitor the trajectory of rockets as they arced downrange, and to send a destruct command if the launcher flew off course.

The range now tracks rockets using the GPS satellite navigation network, and the Falcon 9 launches with an autonomous flight safety system, an on-board computer that would automatically terminate the flight in the event of a major problem.

Schiess said the range team for an Atlas 5 launch, which uses a ground-commanded flight termination system, numbers around 300 people, including range operations, security forces, the fire department and other support teams. That number is around 200 people for this weekend's Falcon 9 launch, which uses an autonomous flight safety system and will fly with commercial satellites, rather than a military payload.

"The fact that one is a flight termination system (with a human in the loop), and one is an autonomous flight safety system is what really gets us to the ability to do (two launches) within 24 hours," Schiess said.

Schiess said that the range recently assessed the possibility of launching two SpaceX missions within six hours from different launch pads. That appears feasible with two rockets that use autonomous flight safety systems, Schiess said.

Launch operations at Cape Canaveral have continued amid the coronavirus pandemic. ...

Range teams have introduced new physical distancing measures inside operations centers at Cape Canaveral, and workers are assigned to rotating shifts to minimize contact. When possible, teams are working remotely.

"We're now all wearing face coverings any time that you enter into a building on Patrick Air Force Base or Cape Canaveral Air Force Station," Schiess said. "Then within the operations center, if you cannot maintain 6 feet of physical separation, then you're wearing masks."

...

SpaceX test-fired a Falcon 9 rocket at pad 40 Wednesday in preparation for Sunday morning's launch. The rocket's nine Merlin engines fired up for several seconds while hold-down restraints kept the 229-foot-tall (70-meter) rocket on the ground.

The Falcon 9 will launch on the eighth dedicated flight since May 2019 for SpaceX's Starlink broadband network. SpaceX has launched 420 Starlink spacecraft on seven previous missions, making the company the operator of the world's largest fleet of commercial satellites.

SpaceX aims to launch around 1,000 more Starlink satellites later this year and next year to begin offering worldwide Internet service. Initial beta testing of the Starlink network could begin later this year, beginning in higher latitude regions like Canada and the northern United States.

The Falcon 9 launch this weekend is the final planned SpaceX mission before the Crew Dragon demonstration flight launching May 27.

SpaceX fired up a Falcon 9 rocket at Cape Canaveral Wednesday in a pre-flight test for a Starlink satellite launch Sunday, moving closer to the company's final mission before sending two NASA astronauts into orbit for the first time May 27.

The test-firing occurred at 10 a.m. EDT (1400 GMT) Wednesday on pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The Falcon 9's nine Merlin main engines throttled up to full power, generating 1.7 million pounds of thrust while hold-down restraints kept the 229-foot-tall (70-meter) rocket firmly on the ground.

The engines burned for several seconds, sending a cloud of steam and exhaust into the sky over the seaside launch pad.

The static fire test is a customary part of all SpaceX launch campaigns, giving engineers a chance to practice countdown procedures and load the Falcon 9 with super-chilled, densified kerosene and liquid oxygen propellants to verify the rocket's readiness for flight.

After a data review, SpaceX will press ahead with final preparations for launch of around 60 more satellites for its Starlink Internet network, joining more than 400 other Starlink craft launched since May 2019.

SpaceX aims to launch around 1,000 more Starlink satellites later this year and next year to begin offering worldwide Internet service. Initial beta testing of the Starlink network could begin later this year, beginning in higher latitude regions like Canada and the northern United States.

Thousands more Starlink spacecraft could launch in the coming years to meet global demand, according to SpaceX.

A new sunshade to reduce the brightness (https://spaceflightnow.com/2020/04/28/spacex-to-debut-satellite-dimming-sunshade-on-starlink-launch-next-month/) of the Starlink satellites will debut on this weekend's launch. The umbrella-like visor will block sunlight from reaching the shiniest parts of the flat-panel spacecraft, making them less visible from the ground.

Scientists have raised concerns that thousands of Starlink satellites — as envisioned by SpaceX — could impact astronomical observations through ground-based telescopes. So far, SpaceX has answered with an experimental darkening treatment that offered some reduction in visibility, and the company says it is changing the orientation of the Starlink satellites during the period shortly after launch to turn their solar panels away from the sun.

The sunshade should provide a more significant dimming effect, SpaceX says.

SpaceX confirmed a successful outcome to Wednesday's static fire test in a tweet. The Falcon 9 launch is scheduled for 3:53 a.m. EDT (0753 GMT) Sunday from pad 40, less than 24 hours after a United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket is set for liftoff from neighboring pad 41 with the U.S. Air Force's X-37B spaceplane.

Officials with the 45th Space Wing, which manages the range for all launches from Cape Canaveral, said the Falcon 9's approval for flight Sunday hinges on an on-time launch of the Atlas 5 rocket Saturday. If the Atlas 5 launch is scrubbed Saturday and ULA tries again Sunday, the Falcon 9 launch for the Starlink network would be delayed to early Monday on the first-come, first-served range schedule.

SpaceX said Wednesday that the first stage assigned to this weekend's launch is a veteran of four previous flights, landing on a SpaceX drone ship after each mission. The booster first flew from Cape Canaveral in September 2018 with a Telesat communications satellite, then launched again from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California in January 2019 with 10 Iridium voice and data relay payloads.

Its third flight occurred last May on the first dedicated Falcon 9 launch for the Starlink program. Most recently, the booster launched Jan. 6 from Cape Canaveral.

The first stage will again attempt a landing on SpaceX's drone ship northeast of Cape Canaveral. If it lands, it will mark the first time SpaceX has recovered a Falcon 9 first stage for a fifth time.

       Вашингтон. 16 мая. ИНТЕРФАКС - Запланированный на воскресенье запуск на орбиту очередной партии из 60 спутников для продолжения развертывания глобальной сети интернет-покрытия системы Starlink перенесен на 18 мая, сообщила компания SpaceX.
       Перенос связан с отменой из-за непогоды старта ракеты-носителя Atlas V со сверхсекретным беспилотным кораблем многоразового использования X-37B Космического командования ВВС США с космодрома на мысе Канаверал и повторной попыткой ее старта в воскресенье.
      "В связи с конфликтом (интересов - ИФ) на космодроме запуск спутников Starlink планируется осуществить в понедельник в 03:32 (по времени Восточного побережья США, 10:32 мск)", - говорится в сообщении SpaceX.

"Ранее"

      Как сообщалось, 23 апреля SpaceX успешно вывела на орбиту очередные 60 интернет-спутников Starlink, доведя орбитальную группировку до 420 космических аппаратов. В настоящее время компания SpaceX является крупнейшим спутниковым оператором в мире.
       В перспективе компания SpaceX планирует развернуть орбитальную группировку из 12 тыс. космических аппаратов данного типа (а в последующем из 30 тыс.) для создания полномасштабной сети, которая позволит обеспечить жителей Земли широкополосным доступом в интернет в любом уголке планеты. SpaceX сообщила, что уже в 2020 году спутники обеспечат интернет-покрытием всю территорию Северной Америки, а к 2021 году будет охвачена почти вся планета. Общая сумма инвестиций для реализации проекта оценивается в $10 млрд.

Вашингтон. 17 мая. ИНТЕРФАКС - Запланированный на понедельник запуск на орбиту очередной партии из 60 спутников для продолжения развертывания глобальной сети интернет-покрытия системы Starlink перенесен на вторник, 19 мая, сообщила компания SpaceX.

"Из-за тропического циклона, надвигающегося на юго-восточное побережье США теперь планируем осуществить запуск 19 мая в 03:10 по времени Восточного побережья США (10:10 мск)", - говорится в сообщении.

Первоначально он должен был состояться в воскресенье. Однако в связи с отменой из-за непогоды старта ракеты-носителя Atlas V со сверхсекретным беспилотным шаттлом ВВС США X-37B с космодрома на мысе Канаверал в субботу и повторной попыткой его проведения в воскресенье SpaceX вынуждена была отодвинуть свой запуск на сутки. Теперь перенос пуска SpaceX еще на одни сутки с космодрома на мысе Канаверал вызван тропическим циклоном.

The recovery fleet is sheltering from Tropical Storm Arthur.

Ms. Tree and Ms. Chief are docked at the Port of Morehead City. GO Quest is arriving at Cape Fear and OCISLY is circling just offshore nearby.

GO Quest is leaving Cape Fear and has set a destination of Cape Canaveral with an ETA of Tuesday 19th.

The Starlink launch might be canceled. Rough seas are forecasted for the 19th and they cannot delay further without conflicting with DM-2 recovery.

Wait for SpaceX to confirm.

Citing a tropical storm in the downrange booster recovery zone, SpaceX said Monday that a launch of up to 60 more Starlink Internet satellites previously planned this week fr om Cape Canaveral has been delayed until after the launch of the company's first crewed flight.

A Falcon 9 rocket was scheduled to lift off from Cape Canaveral's Complex 40 launch pad at 3:10 a.m. EDT (0710 GMT) Tuesday, but SpaceX said Monday it is standing down from the mission until after the Crew Dragon's first launch with astronauts later this month.

SpaceX said it was postponing the launch due to Tropical Storm Arthur. The storm is bringing high winds and rough seas to the downrange recovery area northeast of Cape Canaveral in the Atlantic Ocean, wh ere SpaceX's drone ship needs to be positioned for landing of the Falcon 9 rocket's first stage booster.

The reusable first stage slated for launch on the next Starlink mission has flown four times before. SpaceX hopes to recover it again for inspections and more potential flights.

One of SpaceX's drone ships, named "Of Course I Still Love You," was dispatched to the recovery zone in the Atlantic Ocean for this week's Starlink launch, which was originally scheduled for Sunday morning.

SpaceX originally pushed back the launch to Monday, then again to Tuesday, due to a conflict on the U.S. Space Force's Eastern Range after the one-day delay in the liftoff of a United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket from a neighboring pad at Cape Canaveral. ULA had reserved Sunday as a backup date on the range for the Atlas 5 launch, and SpaceX could only launch Sunday if the Atlas 5 was able to take off Saturday.

In the end, the Atlas 5's launch attempt Saturday was scrubbed due to gusty ground winds. The rocket successfully took off Sunday with the U.S. Air Force's X-37B spaceplane.

But Tropical Storm Arthur was moving closer to the Falcon 9 recovery zone, prompting SpaceX to postpone plans to launch the Falcon 9 rocket's eighth dedicated Starlink mission.

SpaceX is expected to use the same drone ship to recover the first stage of the Falcon 9 rocket that launches the Crew Dragon spacecraft May 27. There was little time to wait for the tropical storm to move away from the landing area in the Atlantic, and still have time to bring the booster back to Port Canaveral, Florida, and send the drone ship back to sea for the Crew Dragon launch.

The Falcon 9 on the Crew Dragon's Demo-2 test flight May 27 will use a brand new first stage booster.

The Crew Dragon capsule is scheduled for liftoff at 4:33 p.m. EDT (2033 GMT) on May 27 from pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center. NASA astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken will be aboard for a test flight to the International Space Station.

It will be the first launch of astronauts from Florida's Space Coast since the retirement of the space shuttle in 2011.

SpaceX отложила запуск спутников Starlink
В компании сообщили, что он состоится после 27 мая

НЬЮ-ЙОРК, 18 мая. /ТАСС/. Американская компания SpaceX из-за погодных условий перенесла на более поздний срок запуск ракеты-носителя Falcon 9 с очередной группировкой 60 малых спутников Starlink. Соответствующее заявление опубликовано в понедельник в Twitter (https://twitter.com/spacex) компании.

"Из-за тропического шторма Arthur мы отказываемся от [запуска в рамках] миссии Starlink", - указывается в заявлении компании.

По ее сведениям, он состоится уже после намеченного на 27 мая запуска пилотируемого космического корабля Crew Dragon, в рамках которого астронавты Даглас Харли и Роберт Бенкен будут доставлены на Международную космическую станцию (МКС).

Согласен. Косяк в работе ракеты, даже пятикратно летавшей, накануне первого пилотируемого абсолютно не нужен.

вероятно, если миссия Demo-2 не состоится, то к 2 июня платформу перегонят на новое место, без захода в порт.

Цитата: undefinedSpaceX is targeting Wednesday June 3 at 9:25 p.m. EDT, 1:25 UTC on June 4, for its eighth launch of Starlink satellites. Falcon 9 will lift off from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. A backup opportunity is available on Thursday, June 4 at 9:03 p.m. EDT, 1:03 UTC on June 5.

Falcon 9's first stage previously supported the Telstar 18 VANTAGE mission in September 2018, the Iridium-8 mission in January 2019, and two separate Starlink missions in May 2019 and in January 2020. Following stage separation, SpaceX will land Falcon 9's first stage on the "Just Read the Instructions" droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean. Approximately 45 minutes after liftoff, SpaceX's fairing recovery vessels, "Ms. Tree" and "Ms. Chief," will attempt to recover the two fairing halves.

The Starlink satellites will deploy in an elliptical orbit approximately 15 minutes after liftoff. Prior to orbit raise, SpaceX engineers will conduct data reviews to ensure all Starlink satellites are operating as intended. Once the checkouts are complete, the satellites will then use their onboard ion thrusters to move into their operational altitude of 550 km. On this mission, SpaceX will launch the first Starlink satellite with a deployable visor to block sunlight from hitting the brightest spots of the spacecraft.

SpaceX plans to launch its eighth batch of Starlink Internet satellites into orbit from Cape Canaveral at 9:25 p.m. EDT Wednesday (0125 GMT Thursday) aboard a Falcon 9 rocket powered by a first stage booster flown on four previous missions.

Weather conditions are forecast to be favorable Wednesday for SpaceX's ninth Falcon 9 flight of the year, but the weather team will be watching for isolated rain showers that could bring thick clouds and cumulus clouds over the launch pad.

The official launch weather forecast issued by the U.S. Space Force's 45th Weather Squadron predicts a 70 percent chance conditions will be acceptable for launch Wednesday night from Cape Canaveral's Complex 40 launch pad.

"A mid-level disturbance from the Gulf of Mexico will begin to approach the area, steadily increasing moisture and cloud cover heading into the nighttime hours," forecasters said. "Models have trended slightly faster with the returning moisture over the last several days, but given the time of day, the atmosphere is expected to be fairly stable.

"The main concerns will be the thick cloud layer rule due to upper level clouds streaming in from the west, and the cumulus cloud rule due to approaching isolated showers."

If the launch is delayed to the next day -- when SpaceX has a backup opportunity at 9:03 p.m. EDT (0103 GMT) -- conditions are forecast to worsen. There's a 40 percent chance of acceptable conditions Thursday night.

SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket will deliver 60 flat-panel Starlink satellites into an elliptical, or egg-shaped, orbit ranging between 132 miles (213 kilometers) and 226 miles (365 kilometers) above Earth. The satellites will use their ion thrusters to maneuver into their higher orbit for testing, before finally proceeding to an operational orbit at an altitude of approximately 341 miles (550 kilometers).

SpaceX plans separation of the flat-panel Starlink platforms -- held to the Falcon 9 upper stage with retentions rods during launch -- around 15 minutes into the mission while flying over the North Atlantic Ocean.

While the upper stage carries the Starlink satellites into orbit, SpaceX's Falcon 9 first stage booster will descend to a propulsive landing on the company's recovery vessel "Just Read the Instructions" in the Atlantic Ocean roughly 400 miles (630 kilometers) northeast of Cape Canaveral.

Two other ships are on station in the Atlantic to try and catch the two halves of the Falcon 9's payload shroud.

The weather outlook for tonight's launch at 9:25 p.m. EDT (0125 GMT) has worsened, with the latest forecast from the 45th Weather Squadron calling for a 60 percent chance of acceptable conditions for liftoff at Cape Canaveral.

"As of this morning, models and radar have not trended in a favorable direction for the launch window tonight, showing an increase in both moisture and shower coverage today," forecasters said this morning. "An area of showers and isolated thunderstorms to the south of the spaceport will continue to push north as the day progresses. These showers and storms, being aided by an upper level disturbance, will likely move into the area by the late morning and early afternoon as winds shift more southerly.

"Some models still hint that they may begin to dissipate or push far enough out of the area by the evening hours, but the moisture will linger, and the main concerns will be the thick cloud layer rule, the cumulus cloud rule, and the disturbed weather rule."

ЦитироватьА запуск миссии Starlink-7 уже рано утром по Москве, 4 июня в 4:25 (1:25 UTC / 9:25 p.m. EDT)
На орбиту планируется вывести следующие 60 спутников SpaceX для группировки Starlink.
РН Falcon 9 FT стартует с площадки SLC-40 базы ВВС во Флориде и выведет на низкую околоземную орбиту (290 км) полезную нагрузку общей массой 18760 кг. После чего спутники используют свои двигатели для подъёма на рабочую орбиту в 550 км.

Погода: 60% за запуск в назначенное время.
Первая ступень: Falcon 9 B1049.5 (5-й полёт).
Обтекатель: новый
Спасение 1-й ступени: плавучая платформа JRTI, 629 км от места старта в Атлантическом океане.
Спасение створок обтекателя: Корабли с сетками Go Ms Tree и Go MsChief, в ~700 км от места старта. Попытка ловли произойдёт через 45 минут после отделения обтекателя.
Пресс-кит: vk.cc/av2oiP

Особенности миссии:
5-й полёт ускорителя B1049.5! Нас ждёт 5-й полёт ускорителя B1049.5! И это будет уже второй раз, когда SpaceX запустят в 5-й раз один и тот же ускоритель Falcon 9.
Миссия будет первым запуском спутников Starlink с прототипом конструкции "зонтиков от солнца" (технология VisorSat), предназначенной для того, чтобы сделать каждый спутник Starlink почти невидимым с земли. Кроме того, компания испытает новый подход к ориентации спутника, так же разработанной для меньшего воздействия группировки на наземные астрономические наблюдения.
Это будет 9-й запуск этого года для SpaceX, 8-й массовый запуск спутников Starlink, 86-й пуск Falcon 9 и 94-й запуск компании.

ЦитироватьSpaceX запустит на орбиту очередные 60 интернет-спутников Starlink
04.06.2020 00:00:00

Вашингтон. 4 июня. ИНТЕРФАКС - Тяжелая ракета-носитель Falcon 9 в четверг должна стартовать на орбиту с очередной группой из 60 микроспутников для продолжения развертывания глобальной сети интернет-покрытия системы Starlink, сообщает компания-разработчик SpaceX.

Запуск планируется осуществить со стартового комплекса LC-40 на космодроме на мысе Канаверал (штат Флорида) 3 июня в 21:25 по времени Восточного побережья США (4 июня в 04:25 мск).

Это уже восьмой вывод на орбиту группы интернет-спутников, начиная с мая прошлого года в рамках проекта Starlink. С учетом нынешних спутников орбитальная группировка SpaceX будет состоять уже из 480 космических аппаратов системы Starlink.

Новая группа спутников Starlink будет выведена на эллиптическую орбиту высотой от 212 до 386 км. После проверки инженерами SpaceX их работоспособности спутники с использованием собственных ионных двигателей поднимутся на штатную орбиту высотой 550 км.

Первая многоразовая ступень ракеты-носителя SpaceX, которая используется для запусков уже в пятый раз, должна совершить управляемую посадку на плавучей платформе Just Read the Instructions, которая будет находиться в Атлантике.

Кроме того, специальные спасательные морские суда Ms. Tree и Ms. Chief в Атлантике попытаются "поймать" в надводные сети обе створки обтекателя головной части ракеты, которые после отделения будут спускаться на парашютах. Повторное использование обтекателя позволяет экономить компании SpaceX до $6 млн при запусках своих ракет.

Спойлер

В перспективе компания SpaceX планирует развернуть орбитальную группировку из 12 тыс. космических аппаратов данного типа (а в последующем из 30 тыс.) для создания полномасштабной сети, которая позволит обеспечить жителей Земли широкополосным доступом в интернет в любом уголке планеты. SpaceX сообщила, что уже в 2020 году спутники обеспечат интернет-покрытием всю территорию Северной Америки, а к 2021 году будет охвачена почти вся планета. Общая сумма инвестиций для реализации проекта оценивается в $10 млрд.

Владелец компании SpaceX Илон Маск сообщал, что для обеспечения минимального покрытия потребуется, по меньшей мере, шесть запусков ракет с 60 спутниками, то есть 360 аппаратов, а для среднего - 12 запусков, которые позволят создать группировку из 720 аппаратов.

Цитата: undefinedTimeline for Falcon 9 launch with Starlink satellites
June 3, 2020 (https://spaceflightnow.com/2020/06/) Stephen Clark (https://spaceflightnow.com/author/stephen-clark/)

Follow the key events of the Falcon 9 rocket's ascent to orbit with 60 satellites for SpaceX's Starlink broadband network.

The 229-foot-tall (70-meter) rocket is scheduled to lift off Wednesday at 9:25 p.m. EDT (0125 GMT Thursday) from pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

The Falcon 9 will head northeast from Cape Canaveral over the Atlantic Ocean to place the 60 Starlink satellites into an elliptical orbit ranging between 132 miles (213 kilometers) to 226 miles (365 kilometers) above Earth with an inclination of 53 degrees to the equator. The satellites will use their ion thrusters to maneuver into their higher orbit for testing, before finally proceeding to an operational orbit at an altitude of approximately 341 miles (550 kilometers).

The Falcon 9's first stage will target a landing on SpaceX's drone ship "Just Read the Instructions" in the Atlantic Ocean nearly 400 miles (630 kilometers) northeast of Cape Canaveral.

The first stage booster launching Wednesday previously flew on four missions, landing on a SpaceX drone ship after each mission. The booster first flew from Cape Canaveral in September 2018 with a Telesat communications satellite, then launched again from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California in January 2019 with 10 Iridium voice and data relay payloads.

Its third flight occurred in May 2019 on the first dedicated Falcon 9 launch for the Starlink program. Most recently, the booster launched Jan. 6 from Cape Canaveral and again landed on a SpaceX drone ship offshore.

If the booster lands after Wednesday night's launch, it will mark the first time SpaceX has recovered a Falcon 9 first stage for a fifth time.

For Wednesday's mission, SpaceX will attempt to catch both halves of the Falcon 9's payload fairing using nets aboard the ocean-going ships "Ms. Tree" and "Ms. Chief" in the Atlantic Ocean. The attempt to catch the fairing will come around 45 minutes after liftoff.

Цитата: undefinedРакета-носитель SpaceX стартовала на орбиту с очередной партией из 60 интернет-спутников Starlink
04.06.2020 4:27:10

Вашингтон. 4 июня. ИНТЕРФАКС - Тяжелая ракета-носитель Falcon 9 в четверг стартовала на орбиту с очередной партией из 60 микроспутников для продолжения развертывания глобальной сети интернет-покрытия системы Starlink, сообщила компания-разработчик SpaceX.

апуск был осуществлен со стартового комплекса LC-40 на космодроме на мысе Канаверал (штат Флорида) 3 июля в 21:25 по времени Восточного побережья США (4 июня в 04:25 мск).

Это уже восьмой вывод на орбиту партии интернет-спутников, начиная с мая прошлого года, в рамках проекта Starlink. С учетом нынешних спутников орбитальная группировка SpaceX будет состоять уже из 480 космических аппаратов системы Starlink.

Новая партия спутников Starlink будет выведена на эллиптическую орбиту высотой от 212 до 386 км. После проверки инженерами SpaceX их работоспособности, спутники с использованием собственных ионных двигателей поднимутся на штатную орбиту высотой 550 км.

Первая многоразовая ступень ракеты-носителя SpaceX, которая используется для запусков уже в пятый раз, должна совершить управляемую посадку на плавучей платформе Just Read the Instructions, которая будет находиться в Атлантике.

Кроме того, специальные спасательные морские суда Ms. Tree и Ms. Chief в Атлантике попытаются "поймать" в надводные сети обе створки обтекателя головной части ракеты, которые после отделения будут спускаться на парашютах. Повторное использование обтекателя позволяет экономить компании SpaceX до $6 млн при запусках своих ракет.

Вашингтон. 4 июня. ИНТЕРФАКС - Многоразовая первая ступень американской ракеты-носителя Falcon 9, стартовавшей в четверг на орбиту с 60 интернет-спутниками, совершила успешную управляемую посадку на плавучей платформе в Атлантике, сообщила компания-разработчик SpaceX.

Посадка на автоматической плавучей платформе Just Read the Instructions, находившейся в Атлантике, была осуществлена через 8 минут 58 секунд после старта ракеты.

Как сообщалось, тяжелая ракета-носитель Falcon 9 стартовала на орбиту со спутниками, предназначенными для продолжения развертывания глобальной сети интернет-покрытия системы Starlink компании SpaceX.

Запуск двухступенчатой ракеты Falcon 9 компании SpaceX был осуществлен 3 июня в 21:25 по времени Восточного побережья США (4 июня в 04:25 мск) со стартового комплекса LC-40 на космодроме NASA на мысе Канаверал в штате Флорида.

Первая многоразовая ступень ракеты-носителя Falcon 9 использовалась в пятый раз.

Группа спутников Starlink будет выведена на орбиту высотой 290 км. После проверки инженерами SpaceX их работоспособности, спутники с использованием собственных ионных двигателей поднимутся на орбиту высотой 550 км.

Это уже восьмой вывод на орбиту группы интернет-спутников, начиная с мая прошлого года, в рамках проекта Starlink. С учетом нынешних спутников орбитальная группировка SpaceX будет состоять уже из 480 космических аппаратов системы Starlink.

Вашингтон. 4 июня. ИНТЕРФАКС - Тяжелая ракета-носитель Falcon 9 в четверг успешно вывела на низкую околоземную орбиту новую партию из 60 мини-спутников, предназначенных для продолжения развертывания глобальной сети интернет-покрытия системы Starlink, сообщила компания-разработчик SpaceX.

Теперь ее орбитальная группировка состоит уже из 480 космических аппаратов. В настоящее время компания SpaceX является крупнейшим спутниковым оператором в мире.

"Успешный вывод 60 спутников Starlink подтвержден", - говорится в сообщении.

Запуск двухступенчатой ракеты Falcon 9 компании SpaceX был осуществлен 3 июня в 21:25 по времени Восточного побережья США (4 июня 04:25 мск) со стартового комплекса LC-40 на космодроме NASA на мысе Канаверал в штате Флорида.

Через 15 минут после старта ракеты группа спутников Starlink, масса каждого из которых составляет 260 кг, отделилась от второй ступени и вышла на эллиптическую орбиту высотой от 212 до 386 км. После проверки инженерами SpaceX их работоспособности, спутники с использованием собственных ионных двигателей поднимутся на штатную орбиту высотой 550 км.

Это уже восьмой вывод на орбиту группы интернет-спутников, начиная с мая прошлого года, в рамках проекта Starlink.

Тем временем первая многоразовая ступень ракеты-носителя Falcon 9, которая использовалась уже в пятый раз, совершила успешную управляемую посадку на плавучей платформе Just Read the Instructions в Атлантике.

There is no update on the recovery.

Silence has historically meant that SpaceX did not catch it. Still a good chance that they might have scooped it from the water though.

Tracking suggests that Falcon 9 has been secured and that Just Read the Instructions droneship is on the move!

Why did it take so long? Crew are not allowed onto the droneship at night so they had to wait until daylight to complete ops.

Цитата: undefinedSTARLINK MISSION

On Wednesday, June 3 at 9:25 p.m. EDT, SpaceX launched its eighth Starlink mission. Falcon 9 lifted off from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

Falcon 9's first stage previously supported the Telstar 18 VANTAGE mission in September 2018, the Iridium-8 mission in January 2019, and two separate Starlink missions in May 2019 and in January 2020. Following stage separation, SpaceX landed Falcon 9's first stage on the "Just Read the Instructions" droneship, which was stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

On this mission, SpaceX launched the first Starlink satellite with a deployable visor to block sunlight from hitting the brightest spots of the spacecraft. Learn more about our work with leading astronomical groups to mitigate satellite reflectivity.
