Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich | DART | Transporter-7 | Iridium OneWeb | SDA-0B | NROL-113 | NROL-167 | NROL-149 | 17 Starlink missions The nine Merlin engines at the bottom of B1063 shut down approximately 2.5 minutes after liftoff, followed immediately by the separation of the booster from the Falcon 9's upper stage. About 8.5 minutes after liftoff, the B1063 landed safely on SpaceX's Of Course I Still Love You drone ship, stationed in the Pacific Ocean. Its successful landing inches it closer to SpaceX's record-holder B1067, which has flown a total of 28 launches. The rocket's upper stage continued toward LEO, ultimately deploying the 27 Starlink satellites there about one hour into flight. Each satellite will maneuver into more specific orbits within the Starlink's megaconstellation over the next few days.
