Globalstar FM15 & USA 328-331

Payloads:

Satellite: Globalstar FM15

Destination: LEO

Customer: Globalstar

Mass: ~700 kg

Satellite: USA 328-331 (Starshield)?

Quantity: 4

Destination: LEO

Customer: Unknown US Government Agency (likely NRO)

Details:

Shortest time between two Falcon 9 launches to date. The rideshare payloads on this mission were never acknowledged by SpaceX. Speculations about possible secondary payloads arose before launch with suspicions about a droneship landing for such a light payload. During the webcast, SpaceX removed second stage views after SECO-1. It is suspected the payloads were deployed between SECO-1 and the deployment of the Globalstar payload. When second stage views were brought back for payload deploy, a suspicious payload dispenser was seen looking very similar to the dispenser used on Starlink missions. Following the launch, four USA designated satellites were catalogued. These satellites are assumed to be technical demonstrations of Starshield satellites likely for the National Reconnaissance Office. Final launch of B1061 on the East Coast before it was moved to California to support the ramp in West Coast missions
