On August 16, 2023 at 11:36 p.m. ET, Falcon 9 launched 22 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
This was the 13th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched CRS-22, Crew-3, Turksat 5B, Crew-4, CRS-25, Eutelsat HOTBIRD 13G, mPOWER-a, PSN SATRIA, and now five Starlink missions.
Following stage separation, the Falcon 9 booster landed on SpaceX’s drone ship A Shortfall Of Gravitas positioned in the Atlantic.
