SpaceX launched 27 Starlink V2 Mini satellites into low Earth orbit Monday evening from Vandenberg Space Force Base. The Starlink 15-14 mission added to the company's constellation, which now includes more than 10,700 spacecraft in orbit. The Falcon 9 first stage booster, B1093, landed on the droneship "Of Course I Still Love You" roughly eight minutes after liftoff.

B1093 completed its 15th flight, having previously launched the Transporter-16 rideshare mission, two Space Development Agency missions, and 11 other Starlink batches. The successful booster landing marked the 210th recovery on that particular droneship and the 637th booster landing overall for SpaceX.
