The booster used on Wednesday’s mission — designated B1060 in SpaceX’s fleet — made its sixth trip to space and back since debuting last June. It was the 78th successful recovery of a Falcon booster since 2015. (...)
The clamshell-like payload shroud that covered the Starlink satellites during the first few minutes of flight were expected to parachute into the Atlantic, where a recovery vessel planned to retrieve the two fairing halves to bring back to Florida for refurbishment. (...)
It was the 23rd Falcon 9 launch dedicated to deploying Starlink satellites. Two other missions carried Starlink payloads as secondary passengers. (...)
The launch Wednesday was the 120th flight of a Falcon rocket, coming 15 years to the day after the first launch of SpaceX’s Falcon 1 rocket March 24, 2006. The Falcon 1 failed seconds after liftoff, brought down by a fuel leak and engine fire that led to the rocket’s crash near its launch pad on an island at Kwajalein Atoll in the Pacific Ocean.
SpaceX has racked up 87 straight successful missions with its Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets since a pre-launch explosion destroyed a rocket with its Israeli-owned communications satellite in September 2016. Not counting that accident, SpaceX has strung together a streak of 96 Falcon launches in a row since the last mission-ending in-flight failure. (...)
With Wednesday’s launch, SpaceX has sent 1,385 Starlink satellites into orbit on a series of Falcon 9 missions. Some of those satellites were prototypes and have re-entered the atmosphere and burned up. Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and a respected tracker of spaceflight activity, said SpaceX had about 1,260 Starlink satellites still in orbit before Sunday’s mission.

B1060 has now flown three times in the first three months of 2021. Her first launch of the year, on 7 January, deployed Turkey’s powerful Turksat-5A communications satellite to orbit. Photo Credit: Mike Killian/AmericaSpaceThe veteran B1060 first-stage core—which became only the fifth Falcon 9 booster to make a sixth flight—rose into the pre-dawn darkness, turning night into instantaneous day across the Space Coast. It was SpaceX’s ninth mission of 2021 and a little more than 8.5 minutes later B1060 was safely recovered on the deck of the Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship (ASDS), “Of Course I Still Love You”, situated about 380 miles (615 km) offshore in the Atlantic Ocean. (...)
Despite one lost booster in February and more than a month of delays suffered by the life-leading B1049 before its most recent flight, those nine missions have now deposited a grand total of 430 Starlinks into low orbit, plus Turkey’s powerful Türksat-5A geostationary communications satellite and January’s Transporter-1, which saw the largest single number of primary payloads—143—ever lifted by a U.S. vehicle. (...)
Despite still being in its youth, 2021 has already seen the first Falcon 9 to fly nine times and the shortest interval between two launches by the same reusable orbital-class booster. And with that latter achievement, we come to
B1060, which this morning became the first Falcon 9 booster to launch three times in three consecutive calendar months. (...)
It was the second occasion that SpaceX has successfully flown four missions in a single calendar month, but only the first time that four Starlink missions have been conducted in a single calendar month. As a result, in the last three weeks, a total of 240 of these small satellites have been ferried uphill, part of SpaceX’s ongoing campaign to position thousands of rapidly-demisable Starlinks in low orbit by the mid-2020s (...)
