Falcon 9 | Starlink Group 10-12 A SpaceX Falcon 9 will lift 23 Starlink v2 Mini satellites to low-Earth orbit (LEO) on Tuesday, Feb. 18, at 6:06 PM EST (23:06 UTC). The Starlink Group 10-12 mission will launch from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS) in Florida. Falcon 9 will fly on a southeasterly trajectory from the Cape. Following launch, booster B1080 will separate from the second stage and descend to land on SpaceX’s autonomous droneship Just Read The Instructions, which will be stationed within Bahamian waters following an agreement with Bahamian authorities. The sheltered, calmer waters near the island of Exuma will allow more reliable landing conditions than those previously experienced in the more turbulent open seas of the Atlantic. The new landing site will also enable SpaceX to fly new trajectories out of the Cape. The booster and droneship will return to Port Canaveral for the first landings in this region, as with all previous Atlantic landings.
