Starlink Launch 1

The first operational Starlink deployment - 60 v1.0 satellites into the 53° shell, opening what would become a constellation of thousands. Three milestones stacked on one mission: B1048 became the first Falcon 9 booster to fly four times; SpaceX flew a recovered payload fairing for the first time ever (half from the Arabsat-6A Falcon Heavy in April 2019); and the combined ~15,600 kg payload broke SpaceX's own mass-to-orbit record set by the v0.9 batch six months earlier.
