The V2 Mini sats seem to be collectively lowering their altitude. @planet4589 is this to be expected? Trajectory is certainly uncommon when looking at other Starlink launches.

Starlink currently stands at 5988 launched satellites, which means that 6k will be crossed with the next mission. All of this was achieved in less than 5 years (excluding Tintin) without a single failed rocket launch. Unreal execution & hats off to the whole SpaceX team.

A few months after having surpassed 5,000 launched satellites, Starlink is about to reach the next milestone: 5,000 satellites in orbit. Currently, the toll stands at 4,968. That means that the 5k mark will be reached within the next two launches.
