Starlink deployment confirmed: https://x.com/SpaceX/status/1796749258076664271
Deploy of 23 @Starlink satellites confirmed
This mission also set a new record for the shortest time between landings on a droneship: https://x.com/TurkeyBeaver/status/1796736037739270432
This landing is special because the recovery team just chattered our fastest ever landing to landing turn. Roughly 84 hours between two booster touchdowns on ASOG. It traveled roughly 640 nautical miles in that time with only 3.5 hrs at the dock to drop off a rocket.
Unreal!!! Well done recovery team!!!
The previous record was 102 hours.
