.@SpaceX: Watch Falcon 9 launch 21 Starlink V2 Mini satellites to orbit
.@SpaceX: Less than 1 hour until Falcon 9's launch of 21 second-generation Starlink satellites from Florida. All systems and launch site weather are looking good; team has been monitoring solar weather conditions throughout the day

.@SpaceX: Due to a space weather concern, now targeting no earlier than 6:13 p.m. ET for today's launch of 21 second-generation Starlink satellites from Florida
.@SpaceX: Crew-6 also has priority, so if weather and all systems are go for that mission, we'll stand down from Tuesday's launch of Starlink
.@SpaceX: Standing down from today's launch of 51 Starlink satellites from California due to unfavorable weather conditions. There is another opportunity tomorrow and the team is keeping an eye on weather
.@SpaceX: Now targeting no earlier than Thursday, March 2 at 12:34 a.m. ET for launch of the Crew-6 mission

.@SpaceX: Standing down from tonight's launch of Crew-6 due to a TEA-TEB ground system issue. Both Crew-6 and the vehicles are healthy and propellant offload has begun ahead of the crew disembarking Dragon
.@SpaceX: T-35 minutes until liftoff; propellant loading of Falcon 9 has begun, and Dragon's escape system is armed

.@SpaceX: The crew has arrived at Launch Complex 39A ahead of flight
.@SpaceX: Argon Hall thruster tech specs: - 170 mN thrust - 2500 s specific impulse - 50% total efficiency - 4.2 kW power - 2.1 kg mass - Center mounted cathode
.@SpaceX: Developed by SpaceX engineers, they have 2.4x the thrust and 1.5x the specific impulse of our first gen thrusters. This will also be the first time ever that argon Hall thrusters are operated in space
.@SpaceX: Among other enhancements, V2 minis are equipped with new argon Hall thrusters for on orbit maneuvering
.@SpaceX: This means Starlink can provide more bandwidth with increased reliability and connect millions of more people around the world with high-speed internet
.@SpaceX: V2 minis include key technologies—such as more powerful phased array antennas and the use of E-band for backhaul—which will allow Starlink to provide ~4x more capacity per satellite than earlier iterations
.@SpaceX: We call them "V2 Mini". They represent a step forward in Starlink capability
.@SpaceX: Targeting Monday, February 27 for launch of 21 second-generation Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Florida
