Starlink Launch 26

52 v1.0 Starlinks delivered to the 53° shell alongside two rideshare payloads: Capella-6, a synthetic-aperture radar imaging satellite for Capella Space, and Tyvak-0130, a smallsat described in regulatory filings as an optical-spectrum astronomy observation spacecraft. The mission targeted a slightly higher orbit - roughly 570 km - compared to the standard 550 km of other Group 1 flights, and marked the last time the recovery vessel Shelia Bordelon retrieved fairings from the water.
