On Friday, October 18 at 7:13 p.m. ET, Falcon 9 launched 20 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 is the 17th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched O3b mPOWER, OneWeb 2, Intelsat 40e, Maxar 2, Turksat-6A, Eutelsat 36X, Ovzon-3, CRS-26, and now nine Starlink missions.
Following stage separation, the Falcon 9 booster landed on SpaceX’s drone ship Just Read the Instructions positioned in the Atlantic Ocean.
