On Tuesday, July 8 at 4:21 a.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 22nd 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 15 Starlink missions.
A little more than eight minutes after liftoff, B1077 landed on the droneship, A Shortfall of Gravitas. It was the 117th touchdown for this vessel and the 473rd booster landing for SpaceX to date.
