SpaceX to Launch Starlink Group 4-36

A SpaceX Falcon 9 Block 5 rocket will launch a batch of 54 Block v1.5 Starlink satellites (which are equipped with laser com terminals) into low Earth orbit. Total payload mass is 16.7 tonnes. This flight is internally known as Starlink Group 4-36 and the booster is designated as B1062.10 for this flight, flying with a reused fairing.

Liftoff Scheduled (Subject to change):

Starlink satellites are built by SpaceX and have a reported launch mass of 305kg. The mass-produced spacecraft carry a communications payload using the Ku and Ka frequency bands, employ optical inter-satellite links, phased array beam forming and digital processing technologies. Starlink sats are able to track on-orbit debris and capable of autonomous collision avoidance. All satellites will be equipped with anti-reflective coatings.

The updated Starlink network architecture has 1584 satellites at 550km altitude and an inclination of 53 degrees, 1584 satellites at 540km and an inclination of 53.2 degrees, 720 satellites at 570km and an inclination of 70 degrees, and 520 satellites at 560km and an inclination of 97.6 degrees. The FCC application covers 4408 Starlink satellites. Eventually SpaceX will launch and operate a follow-on network of 7518 additional Starlink satellites transmitting in V-band frequencies. In the final deployment stage an additional 30000 Starlink satellites might get orbited.
