[Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] good morning and Welcome to our live coverage of starting group 9-5 Mission from West Coast that is from pad space launch complex for East at Brandenburg space force base in California we hope you all are doing fine and excited about the upcoming launch hello my name is dipto Mitra performing the commentary for today's Mission launch before moving on to the mission details firstly on behalf of Astro yand team we express our heartful gratitude to everyone for being a part of today's launch we really appreciate you being here big thanks to our amazing YouTube Community for being here today as we provide detail coverage of space launches complete with extensive stats and thorough thorough insights e let's take a look at today's payload details for starting group 9-5 Mission today's launch marks the 59th dedicated starlink launch for this year just couple of minutes back we saw the booster supporting the starting 8-6 mission after landing a tipped off styling satellites are built at SpaceX satellite development facility in Redmont Washington today's launch consist of 21 version to mini satellites which will include 13 dedicated St Starling Satellites with direct to sell capabilities each stalling satellite is equipped with powerful five Advanced Ku band phased aray antennas and three dual band parabolic antennas which utilizes Ka and eband to provide increased capacity these antennas all together utilizes ku ka and eband frequencies allowing Starling to provide High high bandwidth connectivity that is the four times more capacity per satellite than earlier versions each satellite features a dual solar arrow with a size of 52.5 square m which unfolds to a wing span of 100 ft also it has a high capacity battery to provide power to the payloads the two solar arrs are Aeron neutral which enables faster on out bit Maneuvers and this on orbit Maneuvers helps them to avoid any collision with any other spacecrafts and space junks each staring satellite contains three space laser transponders that is Optical inters satellite links for intercommunications operating at up to 200 gbps this also enables the spacecraft to transmit data without local ground stations providing truly Global coverage each staring version 2 mini satellite weighs nearly 800 kg that is 1,763 lb Starling satellites are equipped with efficient ion hall effect thrusters powered by argon which enable Starling satellites to orbit race maneuver in space and deorbit at the end of their useful life today's payad will be placed in an orbit with an altitude of 293 km with an inclination of 53.1 16° but this configuration does not applies to every stalling satellite these stalling satellites are placed in different configurations based on their group Starling uses custom built navigation sensors named start tracker that surveys the starts to determine each satellites location altitude and orientation for best possible broadband throughput each satellite contains four reaction Wheels providing agile attitude control for the vehicle as well the hot spare configuration ensures High reliability operation and its aluminium flywheel is fully Demis at the end of its life the Starling satellites are equipped with an autonomous collision avoidance systems on board for avoiding collisions with other spacecrafts and space junk autonomously which utilizes the US Department of Defense debris tracking database speaking of SpaceX direct to cell satellite technology direct to sell is a technology developed by Starling team in easy words it's like having a cell phone tower in space this technology allows your cell phone to connect directly to satellites now if we are in a remote area where there is no cell tower nearby normally in that case we won't get any signal on our phon but we like to sell satellite technology our phones can get is signal directly from a starling satellites overhead it is designed to work with common LTE standards with absolute no changes to Hardware firmware or special apps required whether you are on land Lakes Coastal Waters or even in the a as long as you can see the sky you can get a signal this provides connectivity in remote regions giving you peace of mind when you need it the most recently Starling made its first video call on X using unmodified mobile phones connected to Starling direct to cell satellites earlier we did witness textual communication via these satellites now Starling plans to launch the service with T-Mobile later this year with the recent inclusion of South Sudan let's take a look at the countries where starling's low latency highp speeded internet is now available and and as of the current status starlink is delivering its high-speed low latency internet services to more than 100 countries and territories also worth mentioning previously Madagascar and Sierra Leoni is also now getting the service of starlink now let's take a look at the flight record for the booster supporting today's starlink 9-5 Mission previously it supported crew 9 one of the commercial resupply mission that is CRS 29 NASA's mission one of the right share Mission transporter [Music] 10 recently we did got to witness a transporter 11 Mission launching 116 payloads to space next the supporting booster for today's Mission previously supported European space agencies Earth C mission one classified launch for us space force that is nr-1 186 Mission and moreover it did supported two Starling missions the last mission supported by today's miss today's booster supporting the mission was the nrol 186 Mission well guys I think there is an update from SpaceX although it was was quite evident that after they suffered that booster loss so today we won't be launch having any launch for starlink 9-5 Mission SpaceX a standing down for today's Vandenburg launch of Starling 9-5 Mission as the team needs time to review the booster Landing data from the previous launch of starlink 8 de six Mission and so far now we don't have any updates from SpaceX for the next launch date we will be also sharing it as soon as we get any update so keep an eye on our X handle previously the booster with tail number 1062 marked it record-breaking 23rd flight for today but unfortunately while landing on a shortfall of gravitar drone ship it tipped off and as far from the webcast we got to see that it fell off and it did got bursted although it's unclear we didn't got any confirmation from SpaceX yet so anyways for now with that we will wrap up our coverage be sure to check out our social media handle on X for the latest happenings in space industry and updates on upcoming launches hope you enjoyed the stream we appreciate you being here joining us for today's launch wishing everyone a great week ahead thanks for watching this is as live and me dpto signing off for now and we will we will see you next time [Music] [Music]
