At 02:42 this morning SpaceX launched their Starlink V1.0 L27 mission from Cape Canaveral. The booster used for this mission, B1051, delivered the second stage and the 60 Starlink satellites to orbit, then successfully landed on the drone ship Just Read The Instructions to complete it’s historic and record setting 10th mission.
