Prior to the launch, the 45th Weather Squadron forecast an over 95% chance that it would experience favorable weather conditions.

Twenty-three more Starlink satellites made the trip to low-Earth orbit on the Falcon 9 rocket, utilizing a first-stage booster previously used in such missions as Inspiration4, Ax-1, OneWeb Launch 17, and 12 other Starlink flights.

The booster, after making its 20th flight, is set to land on the “A Shortfall of Gravitas” drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean.
