excerpts from Spaceflightnow.com:
On Tuesday, October 7 at 2:46 a.m. ET, Falcon 9 launched 28 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
This was the eighth flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched CRS-33, O3b mPOWER-E, Crew-10, Bandwagon-3, O3b mPOWER-D, and now three Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage landed on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which was stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
A little more than eight minutes after liftoff, B1090 performed an automated landing on the drone ship, ‘A Shortfall of Gravitas.’ This was the 127th landing on this vessel and the 515th booster landing to date.
