excerpts from Spaceflightnow.com:
On Tuesday, June 3 at 12:43 a.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 21st flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Crew-5, GPS III Space Vehicle 06, Inmarsat I6-F2, CRS-28, Intelsat G-37, NG-20, TD7, and now 14 Starlink missions.
SpaceX used its Falcon 9 first stage booster 1071 to launch this mission, which made its 21st flight. It previously launched missions like NASA’s Crew-5, GPS III Space Vehicle 06 and a Cygnus spacecraft on the NG-20 mission for Northrop Grumman.
A little more than eight minutes after liftoff, SpaceX landed B1071 on the droneship, Just Read the Instructions, positioned in the Atlantic Ocean. This was the 123rd landing for this vessel and the 456th booster landing to date.
