By popular request, you can now find fly-over times for the Flight 14 Starlink train! You can see where to look, at what times, and use the interactive map to preview the trajectory over where you are!

The docking of Crew-13 marks the fastest ever launch-to-docking of a US spacecraft to the ISS on record, at ~7h 55m.
Here you can see the full altitude profile of Dragon and the ISS during the entire launch, with the two altitudes converging as Dragon climbs to reach the station!

@rumnusstraube Great catch, it's supposed to be live but after Flight 14 it auto freezes the dashboard in the state it was in from the last packet of data it gets through and I then manually reconfigure it for the replays but I've been too busy on Starlink stuff and forgot to do it! Thank you!!
We are now tracking the real time position of all 26 Starlink V3's launched by Flight 14!
Take a look and see where they are, and the live orbit data from them at https://t.co/XOcKv6BNhZ
@jarrodbuchanan@MrKeiren The times are all in UTC 24h but that's a really good point, I'll make it so the time is in the local time zone of the location and then if you hover over it'll show UTC as well so we don't loose it! Thank you!!
@JerkerTrade You are right though, I can see how the label can be misunderstood easily so I've removed it from the info box when you hover! The feed update time will still be shown on the main Starlink tab but it's not on the tooltips anymore, thanks for the heads up!
Using the orbital data history on https://t.co/XOcKv6BNhZ, here's a timelapse showing the progress of the 26 Starlink V3 sats released on Flight 14 over the course of today as they manoeuvre to distance themselves in orbit!
@JerkerTrade All the positions and altitudes are real time! The Starlink tracker works by getting official ephemeris updates every ~8 hours and then we can use those values to compute forwards the live position, alt, velocity, etc to an incredibly high degree of accuracy!!
@Alvin98alt v3.28 is out now with a flyover calculator and map! Really great ideas all around, more than happy to add any more features people suggest!
@MrKeiren v3.28 is now out now which includes a flyover calculator and shows you their trajectory overhead as well as what conditions are best to see the train (e.g dawn/dusk)!
I'll put up a separate post later with a little release video but I thought you might like to know early!!
You can now replay all of Flight 14's flight data, view real time graph plots, replay the trajectory in 3D, and even compare data and profiles with Flight 13 too!!
