SpaceX booster to land on drone ship
Update 11:09 a.m.: Today's mission marks this Falcon 9 first-stage booster’s 21st flight, SpaceX reported.
The much-traveled booster previously launched Crew-6, SES O3b mPOWER-B, USSF-124, Bluebird 1-5 and 16 Starlink missions.
Following stage separation, crews expect the booster to land on the SpaceX drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas in the Atlantic Ocean 8 minutes, 12 seconds after liftoff.
SpaceX Falcon 9 fueling is now underway
Update 10:58 a.m.: Falcon 9 fueling procedures are now underway at Launch Complex 40, as evidenced by frost forming on the first-stage booster's exterior.
That means this morning's Starlink mission countdown is locked in to lift off at 11:29 a.m. without any delays, or else the launch must be postponed to a later date.
SpaceX moves back launch time to 11:29 a.m.
Update 10:44 a.m.: SpaceX has bumped back the target liftoff time eight minutes, to 11:29 a.m.
