On Thursday, April 24 at 9:52 p.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 23rd flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched CRS-24, Eutelsat HOTBIRD 13F, OneWeb 1, SES-18 and SES-19, and now 19 Starlink missions.
About eight and a half minutes after liftoff, B1069 landed on the SpaceX droneship, A Shortfall of Gravitas, stationed in the Atlantic east of the Bahamas. This marked the 105th booster landing on this particular drone ship and the 435th booster landing to date.
