From SpaceX: "On Sunday, March 29, Starlink satellite 34343 experienced an anomaly on-orbit, resulting in loss of communications with the satellite at ~560 km above Earth. [...] The [..] teams are actively working to determine root cause and will rapidly implement any necessary corrective actions. "

LAUNCH at 2303 UTC Mar 26 of Starlink 17-17 from Vandenberg
Shiyan-33 tracked in a 485 x 505 km x 97.5 deg,
1030 LTDN SSO. With the CZ-2C/YZ-1S launch vehicle and such a low orbit, this must be a fairly massive satellite - anyone know the capacity of CZ-2C/YZ-1S to this orbit?
LAUNCH of SpaceX Transporter 16 rideshare mission at 1102 UTC Mar 30. Over 100 payloads aboard. GCAT will be updated later today I hope
