Excerpts from spaceflightnow.com:

SpaceX launched the Starlink 6-77 mission from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station after scrubbing the launch twice over the past week. The Falcon 9 rocket thundered off the launch pad carrying another 23 Starlink V2 Mini satellites into low Earth orbit.

Liftoff from pad 40 happened on Thursday, Nov. 7 at 3:19 p.m. EST (2019 UTC).

The Falcon 9 first stage booster supporting this mission, tail number B1085 in the SpaceX fleet, launched for a third time. It previously supported the Crew-9 astronaut mission to the International Space Station and Starlink 10-5.

A little more than eight minutes after liftoff, the booster landed on the SpaceX droneship, Just Read the Instructions stationed in the Atlantic, west of the Bahamas. This marked the 96th booster landing for JRTI and the 362nd booster landing to date.
