A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched the fifth group of 60 Starlink satellites into orbit on 17 February 2020 at 10:05 a.m. from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. This is the fourth flight of this particular Falcon 9’s first stage. Unfortunately, it missed the landing on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship in the Atlantic and ended up in the water. Additionally, what look like smudges in the image are actually flocks of birds. Some of them getting quite close as seen by clicking to the gallery below.
