Deployment
About an hour after launch, the rocket’s second stage deployed the 21 V2 Mini satellites in low Earth orbit.
The full-sized V2s will measure 22 feet long (7 meters) and weigh roughly 2,755 pounds (1,250 kg), while the earlier versions weigh about 573 pounds (260 kilograms). In order to carry that heavier payload, SpaceX is pushing for an orbital launch test of its Starship rocket in March.
