launches and a single sub-orbital crewed launch. SpaceX started the week off with its Starlink Group 6-12 mission. China will then launch two back-to-back missions with the Ceres-1S and Chang Zheng 4C. Virgin Galactic will then launch its fourth crewed mission of four months with Galactic-03.

Falcon 9 launched 21 Starlink v2 Mini satellites to a 284 by 293-kilometer low-Earth orbit, inclined 43.00 degrees.</p> <p>This launch will take the Starlink constellation to 4,704 satellites in orbit, of which 3,963 are in their operational orbits. Overall, SpaceX will have launched 5,048 Starlink satellites, of which 344 have been deorbited either for testing purposes or for on-orbit failures.</p> <p><iframe title="SpaceX Falcon 9 Launches Starlink 6-12 Mission" width="1170" height="658" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20230905142319if_/https://www.youtube.com/embed/tqg4WWYl9E8?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></p> <p>The booster that supported this mission, B1073-10, first flew on the Starlink Group 4-15 mission in May 2022. Since then, it has supported SES-22, Starlink Group 4-26, Starlink Group 4-35, HAKUTO-R Mission 1, Amazonas Nexus, CRS-27, Starlink Group 6-2, and Starlink Group 5-11.</p> <p>Following liftoff, the booster landed on SpaceX’s recovery vessel <em>Just Read the Instructions</em>, which was rapidly turned around following the launch of the Starlink Group 6-11 mission, which occurred on Aug. 27. SpaceX’s multi-purpose recovery ship <em>Doug</em> will provide drone ship support for this mission and will attempt to recover both fairing halves from the water roughly 45 minutes after liftoff.</p> <p>As typical on East Coast Starlink missions, Falcon 9 conducts two burns of its upper stage, deploying the 21 satellites 65 minutes after launch.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"> <p lang="en" dir="ltr">And Max with vid! <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230905142319/https://t.co/57AYktBbLS">pic.twitter.com/57AYktBbLS</a></p> <p>— Chris Bergin – NSF (@NASASpaceflight) <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230905142319/https://twitter.com/NASASpaceflight/status/1698531048089387509?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 4, 2023</a></p></blockquote> <p><script async src="https://web.archive.org/web/20230905142319js_/https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p> <p>This mission marked the second Starlink mission from LC-39A of 2023. In comparison, SpaceX’s Space Launch Complex 40 at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station has launched 21 Starlink missions this year and Space Launch Complex 4 East at Vandenberg Space Force Base has seen 12. Due to the three Falcon Heavy launches and five Dragon launches thus far in 2023, LC-39A has been undergoing near-constant pad conversions.</p> <p>For Falcon Heavy missions, teams must remove the side rainbirds, make changes to the reaction frame to support the propellant loading of three boosters, make changes to the transporter erector, and change the pad’s countdown software to handle the different vehicle, in a process that takes roughly two weeks in both directions.</p> <p>Additionally, for Dragon launches, SpaceX must modify the top of the transporter erector, removing the fairing airconditioning and supply lines for Dragon. This process is quicker than pad conversions for Falcon Heavy, but still adds roughly a week to pad turnaround times.</p> <p>For these reasons, LC-39A has launched significantly fewer missions this calendar year than SpaceX’s other pads. Despite this, Starlink Group 6-12 will mark SpaceX’s 62nd Falcon launch of 2023 — surpassing the company’s 2022 record of 61 orbital launches in a year. If SpaceX’s launch cadence remains roughly constant for the rest of the year, the company is expected to reach roughly 95 launches, including Starship.</p> <p><strong>Ceres-1S | The Little Mermaid</strong></p> <p>On Tuesday, Sep. 5, at 09:40 UTC, the Ceres-1S rocket will launch four internet satellites into low-Earth orbit for China. This launch will take place from the Maritime launching platform, which will be stationed in the Yellow Sea. This will mark both the first maritime launch of the Ceres-1 rocket and the first private Chinese launch from a sea platform.</p> <p>The Ceres-1S is a four-stage rocket that stands 19 meters tall with a fairing diameter of 1.4 meters. The vehicle can place up to 400 kilograms into a low-Earth orbit. This mission will mark its fifth mission of 2023 and ninth overall.</p> <p><strong><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230905142319/https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=59422.0">Chang Zheng 4C | Unknown Payload</a></strong></p> <p>A day later, China will attempt to launch its Chang Zheng 4C rocket from Site 9401 at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, in China.
