Image: Adam Bernstein/Spaceflight Now SpaceX is preparing for its 13th and final Falcon 9 rocket launch of the month, which is scheduled to fly from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Thursday night. The Starlink 6-101 mission will add another 29 broadband internet satellites to SpaceX’s low Earth orbit megaconstellation. Prior to liftoff, the company had more than 9,500 satellites in orbit, according to stats maintained by Dr. Johnathan McDowell, an expert orbital tracker and astronomer. Liftoff from Space Launch Complex 40 is scheduled for 2:22 a.m. EST (0722 UTC) with the rocket flying on a south easterly trajectory. Spaceflight Now will have live coverage beginning about an hour prior to liftoff.  The 45th Weather Squadron forecast a 95 percent chance for favorable conditions at liftoff, citing a small chance for interference from cloud cover. SpaceX will launch the mission using the Falcon 9 first stage booster with the tail number 1095. This will be its fifth flight following the launches of four other batches of Starlink satellites. Nearly 8.5 minutes after liftoff, B1095 will target a landing on the drone ship, ‘Just Read the Instructions,’ positioned in the Atlantic Ocean. If successful, this will be the 149th landing on this vessel and the 566th booster landing for SpaceX to date. Tracking potential threats In an update Thursday night, SpaceX announced a new system it set up for what’s known as Space Situational Awareness or SSA. The new software is called “Stargaze” and SpaceX said it will be available to all satellite operators “free of charge, via its space-traffic management platform” in the coming weeks. “Practices—such as leaving rocket bodies in [low Earth orbit], operators maneuvering their satellites without sharing trajectory predictions or coordinating with other active satellites, and countries conducting anti-satellite tests—have heightened the risk of collision, necessitating improvements in space-traffic coordination,” SpaceX wrote. “Conventional methods typically observe objects only a limited number of times per day, causing large uncertainties in orbital predictions, further compounded by volatile space weather. “Stargaze delivers a several-order-of-magnitude increase in detection capability compared to conventional ground-based systems. Stargaze uses data collected from nearly 30,000 star trackers, each of which makes continuous observations of nearby objects, resulting in approximately 30 million transits detected daily across the fleet.” SpaceX has developed a novel Space Situational Awareness (SSA) system, called Stargaze → https://t.co/vE0qSpfDt2 To maximize safety for all satellites in space, @SpaceX will be making Stargaze conjunction data available to all operators, free of charge.
