excerpts from Spaceflightnow.com:
On Wednesday, May 14 at 12:38 p.m. ET, Falcon 9 launched 28 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
This was the fourth flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched SES O3b mPOWER-E, Crew-10, Bandwagon-3, and now a Starlink mission.
A little more than eight minutes after liftoff, the booster landed on the droneship, A Shortfall of Gravitas, which was positioned in the Atlantic Ocean to the east of The Bahamas. This marked the 109th booster landing for that droneship and the 447th booster landing to date.
