On Tuesday, December 31 at 12:39 a.m. ET, Falcon 9 launched 21 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.
This was the 16th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Crew-6, Bluebird-1, mPOWER-B, USSF-124, and now 12 Starlink missions.
A little more than eight minutes after liftoff, first stage booster targeted a landing on the SpaceX droneship, Just Read the Instructions. It marked the 104th booster landing on JRTI and the 390th booster landing to date.
