Starlink Group 9-3 Mission
Starlink Group 9-3 deployed 20 satellites after launch from Vandenberg, but a second-stage liquid-oxygen leak prevented the planned orbit-circularization burn. The satellites entered an unsustainably low orbit and reentered; the first stage performed nominally and landed successfully.
