Watch SpaceX reuse a fairing for the first time for Starlink-1!!!

SpaceX will be launching their Starlink satellites on their flight-proven 1 st stage B1048.4. This particular 1 st stage has already flown thrice and will become the first booster to fly for the fourth time. It has flown the previous missions Nusantara Satu in February of 2019, Saocom 1A in October of 2018 and Iridium-7 in July of 2018. The rocket will lift off at Launch Complex 40 (LC-40) from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS) in Florida at 14:51:00 UTC and at 09:51:00 local time.

SpaceX’ ships GO Ms. Tree and Go Ms. Chief will be attempt to catch both fairing halves which is a first for SpaceX. Furthermore this mission will also be the first to make use of previously caught fairings.  The first stage will attempt to land on an Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship, OCISLY628 km downrange from the launch pad.
