Finally had the opportunity to do a double streak on Feb. 26. SpaceX launched Nova-C IM-2 from LC-39 just after dark, then 3 hrs 17 minutes later, launched Starlink 12-13 from SLC-40. AMAZING!

@flightclubio @decmurphy_ 👍

[John N. McDonald @Churchfacs]

Hi Declan @decmurphy_ and @flightclubio
It looks like both Starlink 6-42 and CRS-SpX are both programmed to use SLC-40 instead of 6-42 from SLC-39A. Am I wrong?
Thanks.
