Targeting Tuesday, September 19 for Falcon 9's launch of 22 @Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Florida → spacex.com/launches

Starlink Group 6-17 launch out of SLC-40 in Florida currently scheduled for 2023-09-20 03:38 UTC, or 2023-09-19 23:38 local time (EDT). Booster ~~1060~~ 1058 to land on A Shortfall of Gravitas.

This will be a "life leader" mission, as it marks the first time a Falcon 9 booster will fly for it's 17th flight.

All systems are looking good for tonight’s launch of 22 @Starlink satellites from Florida. Weather is 90% favorable for liftoff

Edit3: Liftoff!

Edit4: MECO, stage separation, M-vac ignition, and fairing separation.

Edit5: ~~B1060~~ B1058 has performed its 17th landing! New high score!

Edit6: M-vac shutdown and end of official webcast.

Edit7: It turns out that this was B1058, not B1060. Still the 17th flight though!

Edit8: Deployment confirmed: https://nitter.net/SpaceX/status/1704355789232861666

Was this the first time we had a live audio feed from the droneship? I don't remember hearing that before.
