On Saturday, May 24 at 1:19 p.m. ET, Falcon 9 launched 23 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 24th 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.
A little more than eight minutes after liftoff, B1069 landed on the droneship, A Shortfall of Gravitas. This was the 110th touchdown for this vessel and the 451st booster landing to date.
