I will be sleeping (maybe) for the 5:36 AM launch....but both may slip if the recovery area weather is bad.

Well I'm going to hit the hay early and get up at 1 a.m.
We do have an overnight freeze warning but the sky is clear and very little wind. I hate missing a night launch , Mrs thinks I'm nuts. LOL , don't care. May try to get video. |

I suspect it will be pushed back, but Starlink-19 is now penciled in for feb 11th.
I suspect Starlink 19 and 20 will lift off sometime in the middle of the month. |

BTW, interesting factoid, but SpaceX will have equaled Ariane's adjusted tonnage to orbit for all of 2020 after the next Starlink launch.
It will have beaten ULA by the one after that. ...It's February.

I wonder which Booster it will be?
I believe one was launched and recovered 8 times. And I wouldn't doubt that were a 7 and 6 behind it. I wonder how much gets replaced\rebuilt? |

I wonder how much gets replaced\rebuilt? The next one is booster 1049, and it will be it's 8th flight. The one after hasn't had a booster assigned yet, but I'd guess it's 1059 (flight 6). They're supposed to get a refurbishment at 10 flights |

SpaceX Falcon Heavy ‘center core’ passes through Arizona on its way to Texas
"On the heels SpaceX’s first new Falcon Heavy booster in two years beginning its journey to Florida, another of the rocket’s three first stages was spotted on its way from Hawthorne, California to McGregor, Texas. Set to be the first Falcon Heavy launch since June 2019, SpaceX is working around the clock to prepare three new first-stage boosters – two side boosters and one ‘center core’ – and an expendable upper stage with a series of static fire acceptance tests at its McGregor, Texas development facilities. Like each of the 60+ Falcon boosters and 110 Falcon upper stages SpaceX has built and launched in the last 11 years, that new Falcon Heavy hardware must pass through a gauntlet of tests before the company deems them fully complete and ready for flight." |

https://www.livescience.com/amp/spacex-crew-break-space-record.html
Four astronauts living aboard the International Space Station (ISS) have broken a 47-year-old record after spending the longest time in space by a crew launched from U.S. soil. The astronauts, collectively known as Crew-1 Michael Hopkins, Shannon Walker and Victor Glover of NASA and Soichi Noguchi of the Japanese Space Agency (JAXA) were also the first full mission crew to be transported into orbit by a private company. (A smaller demonstration mission to the ISS, crewed by just two astronauts who stayed in space for a short while, preceded Crew-1 by several months.) Crew-1 arrived aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule launched into orbit by a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Nov. 15, Live Science sister site Space.com previously reported. On Sunday (Feb. 7), the Crew-1 astronauts took their place in the history books after spending their 85th day aboard the ISS, according to NASA. The previous record of 84 days was set in 1974 by the Skylab 4 crew, the final mission aboard NASA's first space station Skylab. Since then, other duration record-breaking astronauts have all been part of missions launched from other countries. SpaceX's Crew-1 is the first manned mission to launch from the U.S. since the space shuttle was retired in 2011, according to NASA. |

Possible additional launch for Falcon Heavy
https://spacenews.com/nasa-to-use-commercial-launch-vehicle-for-europa-clipper/ WASHINGTON NASA is no longer considering launching the Europa Clipper mission on the Space Launch System, deciding instead to launch the spacecraft on a commercial rocket it will procure in the next year. During a Feb. 10 presentation at a meeting of NASA's Outer Planets Assessment Group (OPAG), leaders of the Europa Clipper project said the agency recently decided to consider only commercial launch vehicles for the mission, and no longer support a launch of the spacecraft on the SLS. "We now have clarity on the launch vehicle path and launch date," Robert Pappalardo, project scientist for Europa Clipper at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, said. That clarity came in the form of a Jan. 25 memo from NASA's Planetary Missions Program Office to "immediately cease efforts to maintain SLS compatibility" and move forward with a commercial launch vehicle, or CLV, he said. Congress had directed NASA for several years to launch Europa Clipper on SLS, including provisions to that effect in annual spending bills. NASA, though, requested the flexibility to procure an alternative launch vehicle, arguing it needed the SLS to support its Artemis human lunar exploration program and claiming that a commercial vehicle could save NASA as much as $1.5 billion. |
