On October 6, 2020 at 7:29 a.m. EST, SpaceX launched its twelfth (thirteenth overall) batch of Starlink satellites from Space Launch Complex LC-39A, Kennedy Space Center, Florida.
Following stage separation, Falcon 9’s first stage landed on the SpaceX drone ship “Of Course I Still Love You” stationed several hundred miles offshore in the Atlantic Ocean.
Launch was originally scrubbed on Sept. 17 due to recovery weather, then delayed from Sept. 27 and scrubbed on Sept. 28 by poor weather. On Oct. 1 at T-minus 18 seconds, launch was aborted by ground sensor issue. And finally it was scrubbed Oct. 5 by bad weather. Whew...
