[QUOTE="mfb, post: 6834366, member: 405866"] Vega-C failed on its second flight (after a successful flight earlier this year). The second stage stopped working properly. SpaceX plans to launch some initial next-generation Starlink satellites ("v2") on December 28. They are significantly heavier (~4 times) and more capable (~4-8 times?) than the current v1.5 satellites. Originally SpaceX wanted to launch them on Starship only, but delays in that program made them develop a special design that fits into the smaller Falcon 9 fairing. Despite the larger size, SpaceX expects the satellites to be dimmer than the old ones. We'll see how well that works. [/QUOTE]
