On Thursday, February 19 at 8:41 p.m. ET, Falcon 9 launched 29 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
This was the 26th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Crew-5, GPS III Space Vehicle 06, Inmarsat I6-F2, CRS-28, Intelsat G-37, NG-20, TD7, and now 19 Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage landed on the Just Read the Instructions droneship, which was stationed in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of The Bahamas.
There was the possibility that residents of and visitors to The Bahamas may have heard one or more sonic booms during the landing, but what may have been experienced depended on weather and other conditions.
