The booster is a Block 5 and will land on a drone ship in the Bahamas. This is done in the hopes for calmer seas than in the North Atlantic. For the first time, a brand new booster will be used for a Starlink deployment.

The mission to low earth orbit will launch from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida.
