TL;DR Summary

SpaceX is set to launch 56 Starlink internet communication satellites into low Earth orbit (LEO) on May 14, marking the company's fourth launch in May. The booster supporting this mission is B1067-11, which has previously supported several missions. The satellites will be placed into an initial LEO of 298 by 340 km at 43.00 degrees and will then spend the coming months raising this orbit into a Starlink generation two shell: a 530 km circular shell inclined at 43 degrees. SpaceX has a number of other launches planned for the rest of this month.
