The SpaceX Starlink launches take place regularly, and on a crystal clear day at Vandenberg near the beach on Thursday, November 6 at 1:13 p.m. PT, Falcon 9 launched 28 Starlink smallsats to low-Earth orbit to join the Starlink constellation from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.

The smallsats will join more than 8,800 other spacecraft in the huge Starlink constellation.
This was the eighth flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched SDA T1TL-B Tranche 1, SDA T1TL-C Tranche 1, and now six Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage landed on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship, which was stationed in the Pacific Ocean.
