Release point: -27.9°, 3.6°
Now: 2.4°, 121.7°

The twenty-six Starlink V3 satellites left Ship 41 in a line about 14.2 thousand kilometres long, one orbit of 90 minutes at 275 km. Three carry cameras aimed back at the heat shield. They will climb on their own thrusters over the coming weeks. This holds them in the orbit they were actually released into.

Reconstructed from the public Flight 14 timeline and the 275 km, 32° profile, not from a Space-Track element set. A pre-launch table also named a future 559 km, 43° shell. These satellites were not dropped into that plane. Longitudes can sit a few hundred kilometres off until catalog orbits are published.
