Excerpts from spacex.com:
On Monday, January 13 at 11:47 a.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 15th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Ax-2, Ax-3, CRS-30, SES 24, NG-21, Euclid, and now nine Starlink missions.
The Falcon 9 first stage booster supporting the mission, tail number B1080 in the SpaceX fleet, launched for a 15th time. It previously supported the launches of the European Space Agency’s Euclid spacecraft, four missions to the International Space Station and eight Starlink flights.
A little more than eight minutes after liftoff, B1080 landed on the droneship, A Shortfall of Gravitas, marking the 94th booster landing on ASOG and the 396th booster landing to date.
