On Sunday, May 14 at 1:03 a.m. ET, Falcon 9 launched 56 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit at Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
This was the eleventh launch and landing for this Falcon 9 first stage booster, which previously launched CRS-22, Crew-3, Turksat 5B, Crew-4, CRS-25, Eutelsat HOTBIRD 13G, mPOWER-a and now four Starlink missions.
Following stage separation, the Falcon 9 booster landed on SpaceX’s drone ship Just Read The Instructions positioned about four hundred miles downrange in the Atlantic Ocean.
