On March 11 at 08:13 UTC, SpaceX’s Falcon 9 Booster 1058 launched the L-20 mission, putting another sixty Starlink satellites to orbit from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The launch took place in the middle of the night.
For those of you keeping score at home: this was the sixth mission for the booster, and one of the fairings had flown on two previous missions, while the other fairing had only previously flown once.
Booster 1058 successfully landed on the barge Just Read The Instructions, which was stationed 663 kilometers downrange. The fairings were recovered from the water by the GO Searcher and GO Quest recovery ships.
