SpaceX’s Falcon 9 is targeting the launch of 29 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

This will be the eighth flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched NROL-69, CRS-32, GPS III-7, USSF-36, and three Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
