On Sunday, April 27 at 10:09 p.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 20th 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 12 Starlink missions.
A little more than eight minutes after liftoff, booster B1077 touched down on the SpaceX droneship, Just Read the Instructions, positioned in the Atlantic Ocean, east of The Bahamas. It was the 117th booster landing on JRTI and the 438th booster landing to date.
