Marco,

Orbital insertion for this launch is significantly different than previous launches. Deployment is planned for off the west coast of Mexico. Supplemental TLEs (SupTLEs) derived from the pre-launch deployment state vector provided by SpaceX can be found at the top of the page at https://celestrak.com/NORAD/elements/supplemental/. We provide this data for every launch.  - TS

Rumour has it the launch has been postponed by a day.


Now confirmed in a tweet by SpaceX. New launch attempt tomorrow 26th at 20:18 UT.

Updated elset estimate for first revolution:


STARLINK 9                                 for launch 26 Jun 20:18 UT
1 70000U 20999A   20178.84583334  .00000000  00000-0  00000-0 0    05

...but see Richard Cole's note. So possible deviations in both time and sky
elevation.
