Project Kuiper is a “low-Earth orbit satellite constellation that will provide fast, affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities.” During the mission, 24 Kuiper satellites were sent into low-Earth orbit. This was the first flight for the Falcon 9 first stage booster supporting this mission. After stage separation, the first stage landed on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which was stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
