A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch the 123rd group of satellites for SpaceX’s Starlink broadband network, a mission designated Starlink 6-29. The Starlink Group 6-29 mission is a V2 mini launch to their second generation constellation. This will be the 49th group in the second generation of Starlink satellites.

The Starlink Group 6-29 mission is headed to the 43º inclination shell of Starlink's second generation constellation. Satellites in this shell will be orbiting Earth in a 530km circular orbit at 43º inclination. This mission will carry 23 Starlink v2 Mini satellites into a 344x353km 43° orbit and from there they'll raise their orbits to operational altitude.

Booster B1067 will be the sixth booster to 15 launches! Now that is reusability.

This also Falcon 9's 275th launch.

Never gets old - Interestingly they lost the video TM from the Falcon 9 during the landing burn. But they had good coverage of the actual landing.

I think they're just replaying the same video over and over again. Those things are going off like clockwork.
