On Friday, January 10 at 2:11 p.m. ET, Falcon 9 launched 21 Starlink satellites, including 13 with Direct to Cell capabilities, to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
This was the 25th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched CRS-22, CRS-25, Crew-3, Crew-4, TelkomSat-113BT, Turksat-5B, Koreasat-6A, Eutelsat HOTBIRD-F2, Galileo L13, mPOWER-A, PSN MFS, and now 14 Starlink missions.
The Falcon 9 first stage booster for this mission, tail number B1067 in the SpaceX fleet, made a record-setting 25th launch and landing attempt. It entered service in 2021, previously launching four flights to the International Space Station, the Galileo L13 mission for the European Commission and 13 previous batches of Starlink satellites.
A little more than eight minutes after liftoff, B1067 landed on the SpaceX droneship, "Just Read the Instructions", marked the 106th booster landing on JRTI and the 395th booster landing to date.
