Piąty start, piąte lądowanie 04.06 o 01:25:33 z Cape Canaveral wystartowała RN Falcon-9R. Wyniosła ona w T+8' 55" na orbitę o parametrach:
hp=190 km, ha=380 km, i=53,00° 60 satelitów Starlink (misja Starlink 8/v1.0 L7). Pierwszy stopień RN w T+8' 45"
wylądował na barce ASDS JRTI na Atlantyku. Było to pierwsze zastosowanie tej barki po jej przebazowaniu z Pacyfiku
na Atlantyk. Zarazem po raz pierwszy udało się odzyskać pierwszy stopień rakiety w jego piątej misji.

Udany start Falcona 9 z ósmą paczką satelitów Starlink BY KRZYSZTOF KANAWKA ON 4 CZERWCA 2020
Stopień B1049.5 po udanym lądowaniu - 04.06.2020 / Credits - SpaceX(...) Po wykonanej pracy pierwszy stopień wylądował na platformie morskiej “Just Read The Instructions” (JRTI). Był to już piąty start tego stopnia (oznaczenie stopnia i lotu B1049.5). Firma SpaceX przygotuje niebawem ten stopień do szóstego startu – z dostępnych informacji wynika, że aktualnym celem spółki jest wykorzystywanie pierwszych stopni po około dziesięć razy. (...)
Start tej paczki satelitów Starlink nastąpił dokładnie w dziesiątą rocznicę pierwszego startu rakiety Falcon 9.

SpaceX has launched 420 Starlink satellites on seven dedicated Falcon 9 launches since May 2019, with each rocket carrying 60 Starlink spacecraft. This week’s launch is expected to loft around 60 additional Starlink satellites, which each weigh about a quarter-ton.
This eighth launch devoted to the Starlink network was previously scheduled for mid-May. (...)

SpaceX’s B1049 powers into the night, setting a new record of only four days between two East Coast launches of the Falcon 9. Photo Credit: SpaceXThe smoke, noise and euphoria of last Saturday’s spectacular launch of Dragon Endeavour and her crew—NASA veterans Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken—had barely settled when another Falcon 9 booster lifted off from Space Launch Complex (SLC)-40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla., at 9:25 p.m. EDT Wednesday, 3 June. It was SpaceX’s ninth launch in the first 22 weeks of 2020 and secured new “personal bests” for the shortest interval between any two Falcon 9 missions from the East Coast and the first safe return of a booster core from a fifth flight. It also delivered another 60 Starlinks into space, placing the current tally of these low-orbiting internet communications satellites at almost 500.
Although SpaceX has on several occasions flown missions within days of each other—most recently in December 2018, with the launches of the SSO-A SmallSat Express from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., and the CRS-16 Dragon from the Cape, only 48 hours apart—
it has never before staged a pair of flights from the East Coast within such close proximity. Only four days passed between the Saturday afternoon ride of Hurley and Behnken and the Wednesday evening ascent of Starlink. The closest before tonight was six days which elapsed between the commercial GovSat-1/SES-16 mission on 31 January 2018 and the maiden voyage of the Falcon Heavy on 6 February 2018. (...)
