On Tuesday, January 21 at 12:24 a.m. ET, Falcon 9 launched 21 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
This was the 8th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Crew-8, Polaris Dawn, CRS-31, Astranis: From One to Many, and now four Starlink missions.
The Falcon 9 first stage booster, tail number B1083, was used to launch the mission. It’s previous missions included the launches of Crew-8, Polaris Dawn and CRS-31.
After launching for an eighth time, B1083 landed on the SpaceX droneship, A Shortfall of Gravias, which was positioned out in the Atlantic Ocean. This marked the 95th landing for ASOG and the 399th booster landing to date.
