On Saturday, April 12 at 8:53 p.m. ET, Falcon 9 launched 21 Starlink satellites, including 13 with Direct to Cell capabilities, to low-Earth orbit from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
This was the 10th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Crew-8, Polaris Dawn, CRS-31, Astranis: From One to Many, IM-2, and now five Starlink missions.
A little more than eight minutes after liftoff, B1083 landed on the droneship, ‘A Shortfall of Gravitas. This marked the 104th booster landing for ASOG and the 429th booster landing to date.
