Starlink 5-1 launch time moved up six minutes to 4:34 AM EST on 28 December 2022.

The launch went well and the first stage landed on ASOG. It looked like there was a lot of sea spray around ASOG. No mention of the sea conditions.
First stage landing Stephen Marr@spacecoast_stve. With Santa now safely out of everyone's airspace, SpaceX wastes no time launching more Starlink satellites! This stacked image from Cocoa Beach Pier includes 1st and 2nd stage flight, as well as the 1st stage entry burn. |

EROS B uses a 97 degree inclination so my guess will be that this one is similar. That means a South-southwest launch azimuth. |

SpaceX launched more tonnage than the rest of the world combined. Like three times the tonnage China launched while only launching one fewer that China.

I thought they expended at least two boosters this year. The "60 recovered" may be wrong.

Close enough to see grid fins doing their thing steering the scorched telephone pole like a lawn dart coming down, great for audio too. |

I didn't get up in time to watch, but I heard the rumble of the booster on the way out... seemed
to last longer than usual. the Sonic boom from the RTLS was the first one I've heard indoors.. holy crap that was a loud crack, I felt it hit the house. |

Good landing of the booster. After booster separation the video from ground showed thruster firings.
About 35 satellites deployed so far. It almost looks like rockets launching from an MLRS system. |
|
|
Now up to 15 successful launches and landings with that booster. Wow!
|
|
|
|
According to this wiki list, there are two with 15, one with 14, and three with 11.

Will refine that time. 3) The entry burn is almost on top of the landing site. What I need to check is to see if the trajectory after the boostback burn is such that it would impact water if the entry burn failed. I can't imagine that it would not be the case. |

View Quote The landing attempt on Dec 5, 2018 the hydraulics for the grid things failed and it went in the water just off the beach. I have a video of it on my phone that you can just make out the spiral wobble going on, I was only a couple few miles away at the space station processing facility almost straight west across the river from the landing area but the landing was below the tree line so we didn't notice it landed on the water and toppled over. In the last few seconds of the above video you quoted you'll see the grids become very active after it shuffles its ways over to the landing pad and stabilize itself after making the move away from off the beach. |

Mission: Falcon 9, Starlink 2-4
1) Background info: Source "A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch another batch of 51 Starlink internet satellites. This mission will deploy the Starlink satellites into a high-inclination orbit inclined 70 degrees to the equator. The Falcon 9’s first stage booster will land on a drone ship in the Pacific Ocean. " 2) Launch window: 7:43 AM PST (19 January 2023). 3) Launch Site: SLC-4E, Vandenberg Space Force Base, California 4) Launch direction: South-southeast 5) Webcast viewing options: a. SpaceX webcast (Starts about 5 minutes before liftoff) b. YouTube: Starlink Mission 6) Observation comments: None 7) Launch preparations: a. Boats heading out. Gav Cornwell@SpaceOffshore. Of Course I Still Love You droneship and support ship GO Quest departed Long Beach earlier to support Starlink 2-4. They recently diverted and are shielding near San Clemente Island - sea conditions don't look ideal. Gav Cornwell@SpaceOffshore. Out of the shielding pattern and now sailing to the LZ. Fairing recovery ship NRC Quest has also departed and is en-route to join OCISLY. Gav Cornwell@SpaceOffshore. OCISLY droneship is in position 650 km (350 nm) downrange in the Pacific Ocean for the Starlink 2-4 mission. Weather is only 30% go and sea conditions appear to be rough. Gav Cornwell@SpaceOffshore. OCISLY droneship and the support ship fleet are returning to Port of Long Beach to await the new Starlink 2-4 launch date. Gav Cornwell@SpaceOffshore. Attempt #3 - Of Course I Still Love You droneship is outbound and heading for the Starlink 2-4 LZ. Previous attempts in November and earlier this month were delayed and the droneship recalled to port. b. Satellites: Not found c. Ready for launch: Not found d. Navigation warning: 8) First stage return/ocean recovery/disposal: Drone ship OCISLY 9) Launch to deployment events/timeline: Hours:Minutes:Seconds after lift-off.
