what happened

SpaceX launched 27 Starlink satellites aboard a Falcon 9 from Space Launch Complex 4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base on October 23 at 22:48 UTC as mission Starlink Group 15-15, per Launch Library. Booster B1063 completed its 36th flight and landed on the droneship Of Course I Still Love You, per BASENOR.

why it matters

Routine Starlink batches keep growing SpaceX's broadband constellation from Vandenberg, and booster B1063's 36th flight is further evidence of Falcon 9's high reuse cadence, the backbone of SpaceX's launch economics.
