#Falcon9 fairing halves of #Starlink 11-19
It seems confirmation of orbit insertion and payload deployment were a little delayed for this launch:
20:10 UTC: https://bsky.app/profile/planet4589.bsky.social/post/3m3l4aqxtmc2f
LAUNCH at 1924 UTC Oct 19 of Starlink 11-19 from Vandenberg. Orbit insertion has not been confirmed at this writing.
20:44 UTC: https://x.com/jeff_foust/status/1980012105945231849
No updates from SpaceX, now 20 minutes after the scheduled Starlink deployment time.
20:46 UTC: https://x.com/SciGuySpace/status/1980012611736420483
Two sources indicate the Starlink satellites were successfully deployed.

SpaceX report (or at least imply) that the Starlink 11-19 launch successfully reached orbit, despite the early data cutoff on the webcast.
I wonder if someone on SpaceX’s social media team saw Eric’s tweet and went “oops, yeah, we forgot to post the status of 11-19”.
Stage 1 landing confirmed!
MECO, stage separation, M-vac ignition, and fairing separation.
Liftoff!
