excerpts from spaceflightnow.com:
On Monday, April 28 at 10:34 p.m. ET, Falcon 9 launched 23 Starlink satellites, including 13 with Direct to Cell capabilities, to low-Earth orbit from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida
SpaceX debuted a new booster for this mission. It’s believed to either bear the tail number of B1091 or B1094, but it wasn’t clear prior to launch which one was in the loop.
A little more than eight minutes after liftoff, the booster landed on the droneship, A Shortfall of Gravitas. This marked the 106th booster landing on that droneship and the 439th booster landing to date.
