On December 2 at 23:12 UTC, the Starlink 32 mission launched atop Falcon 9 booster 1060 from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

SpaceX’s internal name for this mission was Starlink 4-3, despite this being only the second launch for the fourth shell. The rocket also carried two satellites for the BlackSky Global imaging constellation, resulting in only 48 Starlink satellites on board compared to the usual 53 for the current shell of the constellation. SpaceX keeps changing their naming scheme, so it’s hard to keep track at this point.

This was the ninth flight for Booster 1060, which successfully landed on the drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas. Both of the fairings were new and were fished from the water by SpaceX’s new multi-purpose support ship, Bob.
