Mission Details
Project Kuiper (KF-01)
Project Kuiper is a mega constellation of satellites in Low Earth Orbit that will offer broadband internet access managed by Kuiper Systems LLC, a subsidiary of Amazon. This constellation is planned to be composed of 3,236 satellites. The satellites are projected to be placed in 98 orbital planes in three orbital layers, one at 590 km, 610 km, and 630 km altitude.
Manufacturer/Operator: Amazon    Low Earth Orbit

Location
SLC-40, Cape Canaveral SFS, Florida, USA

SpaceX is targeting Wednesday, July 16 for a Falcon 9 launch of the KF-01 mission to orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The 27-minute window opens at 2:18 a.m. ET. If needed, a backup launch opportunity is available on Thursday, July 17 with a 27-minute window that opens at 1:57 a.m. ET.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about 15 minutes prior to liftoff, which you can watch here and on X @SpaceX. You can also watch the webcast on the new X TV app.

This will be the first flight for the Falcon 9 first stage booster supporting this mission. After stage separation, the first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean...

The Launch Pad  @TLPN_Official
SpaceX is set to launch the 1st batch of Project Kuiper satellites for Amazon (yes, a competitor to Starlink) aboard Falcon 9 tonight; from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Base in Florida! 
Following payload Deployment, Falcon 9's upper stage will conduct a routine disposal burn; reentering over the North Atlantic between Canada and Ireland; a first for SpaceX.
Live launch coverage will begin at T-60 minutes!

Kuiper mission updates: Amazon adds 24 satellites to constellation with third successful launch

Falcon 9 deployed the satellites at an altitude of 289 miles (465 kilometers) above Earth, at which point the Kuiper team took over command of the mission from our mission operations center in Redmond, Washington. From there, we began to perform initial satellite health checks as we prepare to raise the satellites to their assigned altitude of 392 miles (630 km), where they will be fully commissioned as part of our operational satellite constellation.

Получается что вывели даже чуть выше (примерно на 5 км), чем выводили на Atlas V. Спутников 24 вместо 27, так что по выводимой массе на 465 км Falcon 9 ASDS менее чем на 11% уступает Atlas V 551 GEM-63.

Kuiper mission updates: Amazon adds 24 satellites to constellation with third successful launch

Falcon 9 deployed the satellites at an altitude of 289 miles (465 kilometers) above Earth, at which point the Kuiper team took over command of the mission from our mission operations center in Redmond, Washington. From there, we began to perform initial satellite health checks as we prepare to raise the satellites to their assigned altitude of 392 miles (630 km), where they will be fully commissioned as part of our operational satellite constellation.

Получается что вывели даже чуть выше (примерно на 5 км), чем выводили на Atlas V. Спутников 24 вместо 27, так что по выводимой массе на 465 км Falcon 9 ASDS менее чем на 11% уступает Atlas V 551 GEM-63.

Если масса одного спутника 570 кг, то масса 24-х будет 13.7 тонн.

Максимум по https://elvperf.ksc.nasa.gov - 14.2 тонны. А может 25 просто не влезает под обтекатель.

 The view from space, minutes after all satellites from our KF-01 mission were released from the dispenser system.

For Kuiper missions on Falcon 9, satellites are released every 20 seconds over an 8-minute period, and all 24 satellites are power positive and operating nominally in orbit.
