   Thursday, the twice postponed Starlink Group 9-3 launch went up from   
   Vandenberg at the beginning of the window (no jellyfish for SoCal on   
   this one), and the booster (B1063 on its 19th flight) worked and was   
   recovered.   
      
   But the second stage could be seen in the downlink to be shedding more   
   ice than usual from the insulated "bag" above the nozzle, and fell way   
   short of 200 km  (152 km than down to 139 km after "stage 2 in terminal   
   guidance" was announced).  SpaceX terminated the feed after "MVac   
   shutdown" was called out, about 38 min into the youtube relay by   
   Spaceflight Now.   
      
   SpaceX's web site says "the second stage engine did not complete its   
   second burn .... satellites were deployed into a lower than intended   
   orbit.  SpaceX has made contact with five of the satellites so far and   
   is attmpting to have them raise orbit using their ion thrusters."
