Mission name : Starlink 6
Launch date UNIX : 1587583800
Launch date UTC : 2020-04-22T19:30:00.000Z
Rocket : Falcon 9
Site launch : Kennedy Space Center Historic Launch Complex 39A
Initial Latitude: 28.6050
Initial Longitude: -80.6026
Payload mass : 15400kg
Land success : true
Other statistics
#93 flight of SpaceX
Starlink count changed from 360 to 420
Details :
This mission will launch the sixth batch of operational Starlink satellites, which are expected to be version 1.0, from SLC-40, Cape Canaveral AFS. It is the seventh Starlink launch overall. The satellites will be delivered to low Earth orbit and will spend a few weeks maneuvering to their operational altitude of 550 km. The booster for this mission is expected to land on OCISLY.
also a pretty cool photo taken during the launch
with the extracted data i tried to get more data by doing some math calculations using python
Atmospheric calculations:
acceleration from the liftoff to the SECO2 phase : 13.958 m/s^2
Time T-00:00:01 Phase Startup : THE FALCON 9 FLIGHT COMPUTERS HAVE TAKEN CONTROL OF THE COUNTDOWN
Time T+00:00:00 Phase liftoff : THE HOLODOWN CLAMPS HAVE RELEASED FALCON 9 AND WE HAVE BEGUN OUR FLIGHT
Time T+00:01:18 Phase MAX-Q : MAXIMUM DYNAMIC PRESSURE THIS IS THE HIGEST AMOUNT OF AERODYNAMIC STRESS EXERTED OF THE VEHICLE
Time T+00:02:36 Phase MECO : MAIN ENGINE CUTOFF
Time T+00:02:39 Phase stage separation : STAGE 1 HAS SEPARATED FROM STAGE 2
Time T+00:02:47 Phase SES 1 : SECOND ENGINE STARTUP 1
Time T+00:03:11 Phase fairing deploy : THE PROTECTIVE NOSECQNE AT THE TOP OF THE ROCKET HAS BEEN DEPLOYED
Time T+00:06:48 Phase stage 1 entry : STAGE 1 IS STARTING IT'S ENTRY BURN SLOWING IT DOWN FOR THE ENTRY INTO THE ATMOSPHERE
Time T+00:08:28 Phase stage landing : STAGE 1 HAS BEGUN IT'S LANDING BURN SLOWING IT DOWN FOR TOUCHDOWN AT SEA
Time T+00:08:58 Phase SECO 1 : SECOND ENGINE CUTOFF 1

Thanks to for the information of the launch
The entiere Telemetry of the launch has been extracted using (program that i wrote, private at the moment)
SXT reads data frame by frame and it uses the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and sometimes this OCR could give wrong results because it isn't perfect, so some numbers are faked a little, you could see the complete telemetry extracted in this csv there is also a json but the csv file looks more cool in github and it's easier to read, with all the extracted data i started making comparisons and graphs.
pressure in also avaible in , returned ,in Pascal
temperature in or , returned in Kelvin
density in or , in kg/m^3
complete files for the
all the phases are extracted by me using my own tool (currently private)
the API for the telemetry and other is documented
if you want to help keeping this site alive and updated, you could :)
