Updated for CRS-23 and Inspiration4.

Inspiration4 requires BrianJ's Dragon Cupola addon: https://www.orbithangar.com/showAddon.php?id=5984ce18-4172-4736-bb2a-40655f8cd0ad

We don't know a lot of details about Inspiration4's mission yet, so a lot of guesswork & I'll be updating as we get that info next week. Jared Isaacman indicated an interest in launching in the pre-dawn hours for spectacle, so I've put the launch time at ~10:30 UTC. B1062 is confirmed, and so is Resilience. Guess is an initial ~200x575 kilometer orbit, raised to 575x575km.

For the first polar Starlink mission (Starlink v1.0 P1), the ASDS and FRV positions have been posted on the General SpaceX Map: Starlink v1.0 P1 Recovery Locations

OCISLY Position: Lng.-117.849722 Lat.29.375556

FRV Position: Lng.-117.657826 Lat.28.985422

Don't really know what the initial azimuth will be before a dogleg is performed after stage separation. Also, I assume the parking orbit apogee would be around 300 km given the final orbit will be at 570 km.

Yup. Good catch. My only question is how many Starlinks will be onboard. 55-58 is my guess.

The Starlink v1.0 P1 mission will launch 51 Starlink sats; total payload mass is 13.26 tons.

Still working on this... can't seem to figure out DART's launch trajectory. Any tips? I have it in a 64.7 inclination orbit at SECO, 200x300 km. I know there's a dogleg but I don't know the initial launch inclination to put F9 on to reach OCISLY. Falling behind as SpaceX already has another launch geared up this week.
