On Tuesday, February 4 at 5:15 a.m. ET, Falcon 9 launched 21 Starlink satellites, including 13 with Direct to Cell capabilities, to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
This was the 21st flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched OneWeb 1, SES 18+19, Eutelsat HOTBIRD-F1, CRS-24, and now 17 Starlink missions.
SpaceX used the Falcon 9 first stage booster 1069 on this mission, launched for a 21st time. It was previously used on missions like CRS-24, Eutelsat Hotbird-F1 and 16 Starlink flights.
A little more than eight minutes after liftoff, B1069 landed on the SpaceX droneship, Just Read the Instructions, marking the 108th booster landing on JRTI and the 404th landing to date.
Onboard the rocket are 21 Starlink satellites, of which 13 have Direct to Cell capabilities.
