Of the 20 Starlink satellites launched, 13 are direct-to-cell capable, connecting to cell phones directly, eliminating dead zones. This launch was SpaceX's 75th mission from SLC-4E.
Booster 1082 deployed the 23 Starlinks into a 53-degree orbital trajectory, its fourth launch. After landing on droneship 'Of Course I Still Love You,' it'll undergo refurbishment for its 5th mission.
This marked SpaceX's 48th mission this year, with another Starlink mission from Florida planned next.
