Let's take a look at the first launch with Starlink satellite V2-Mini, launch group 6-01:
Currently 9 of the 21 satellites have burned up. 12 are in a low waiting orbit. 0 are in operation.
A comparison of the space stations ISS and CSS shows, that the ISS raises its orbit more frequently in small increments and the CSS raises its orbit less frequently in larger increments.
The Starlink satellites of Group 3 together with 3 Starlinks of Transporter-2 form the orbit at an altitude of 563 km. They have an inclination of 97.66° and cover the North Pole and the South Pole.
The Starlink satellites of Group 5 and 6 form the orbit at 559 km altitude. Group 5 satellites are version V1.5 and group 6 satellites are version V2.0mini.
The #Starlink satellites of Group 1 and 7 form the orbit at 547 km altitude. Group 7 satellites are brand new to this orbit and are expected to fill some of the gaps.
The Group 4 satellites form the orbit at 540 km. #Starlink has filled 1293 of 1296 operational positions with satellites and over 200 more satellites are on supplementary positions.
