SpaceX successfully launched a Falcon 9v1.2FT Block 5 part-reusable rocket from Vandenberg, California, USA at 0409 GMT on 20 July 2023. The launch vehicle was carrying Starlink Group 6-15 to orbit: a total of 15 v2-Mini Starlink communications satellites for SpaceX’s second-generation Starlink constellation. The reusable B1071 first stage – on its 10th flight – landed on the drone barge Of Course I Still Love You located down range in the Pacific.
