Eventually, some 12,000 will round out the constellation.
Less than ten minutes after the launch, the Falcon 9 first stage booster is expected to return and land on SpaceX’s ocean faring drone ship “Of Course I Still Love You” positioned out in the Atlantic.
It’s the 6th launch and landing for this booster.
