In the interim, the rocket's spent first stage made a successful landing on the droneship "Of Course I Still Love You" stationed in the Pacific Ocean. The stage, referred to by SpaceX by its serial number, B1093, last flew in May on the second of what is now its three total Starlink flights.

Monday's launch followed a similar Starlink deployment from Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Friday (June 13). That mission (12-26) included the last satellites needed to complete SpaceX's first generation direct-to-cell constellation.
"Working with cellular providers around the world, direct to cell enables unmodified cellphones to have connectivity in the most remote areas," read a company social media post noting the milestone.
Though Monday's launch did not include direct to cell enabled satellites, it did add to the overall Starlink broadband internet network, which now numbers more than 7,760 active units.
