SpaceX successfully launched another 23 Starlink satellites to orbit this evening from their Space Launch Complex 40 facility to finish out a record-breaking month of May with fourteen launches in total. Liftoff was at the end of the launch window at 10:37 PM EDT.

Around 8.15 minutes after liftoff, the first-stage booster used for the mission, tail number B1076, touched down safely on ASDS ‘A Shortfall of Gravitas’, stationed downrange in the Atlantic Ocean near the Bahamas. After landing, B1076 has now flown fourteen successful missions. ‘A Shortfall of Gravitas’ will now return to Port Canaveral, where the booster will be unloaded, transported to SpaceX’s Hangar X facility at Kennedy Space Center and prepared for its next flight after inspection and refurbishment.
