TL;DR

SpaceX successfully launched another batch of 23 Starlink satellites, marking their 89th orbital mission of the year and bringing them closer to their goal of reaching 100 launches in a year. The Falcon 9 booster used for this mission, Booster 1078, flew for the sixth time and successfully landed on the droneship "A Shortfall of Gravitas."
