Launch and Landing Falcon 9 – Starlink 18

Today we will follow the launch of the Falcon 9 rocket with the Starlink 18 mission that will take 60 satellites into low Earth orbit (LEO) for the provision of high-speed, low-latency internet on a global scale.

The booster used in this mission is the B1060.5. This booster flew previously on the FPS III SV03 Matthew Henson, Starlink 11, Starlink 14 and Turksat 5A missions. SpaceX will try to recover the hoods for this mission that were used in the SAOCOM 1-B mission and the other in the GPS III SV03 mission using Ms. Tree and Ms. Chief Network Boats. The Falcon 9 is a medium to large capacity orbital rocket, partially reusable and composed of two stages. It is 70 meters high and 3.7 meters in diameter. Its load capacity is 22.8 t for low earth orbit (LEO) in disposable mode and 15.6 t in reusable mode. The load capacity for geostationary / geosynchronous transfer orbits is 8.3 t and for the Martian transfer orbit it is 4 t (never attempted). The booster contains 9 Merlin 1D + engines optimized for sea level generating 7,607 kN of thrust, while the second stage has 1 Merlin 1D + engine optimized for vacuum generating 934 kN of thrust. Both stages are powered by RP-1 (rocket kerosene) and LOX (liquid oxygen). Follow me on Twitter: twitter.com/pallottapedro Instagram: instagram.com/pedropallotta.
