This mission, designated Starlink 12-21, was initially part of a double launch plan for the night, following the Crew-10 mission. However, Crew-10
was scrubbed earlier in the evening, making Starlink the primary launch.
The first stage booster, B1069, completed its 22nd flight, having previously launched missions like CRS-24 and multiple Starlink batches. Following stage separation, the booster successfully landed on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship in the Atlantic Ocean.
