The Falcon 9 rocket launched from Space Force Station in Florida, sending 29 Starlink satellites to a low-Earth orbit, according to SpaceX. This was the 25th flight of the first-stage supporter for a mission.

After this launch, the first stage was able to land on the drone ship, A Shortfall of Gravitas, which was stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
