TL;DR Summary

SpaceX successfully launched another batch of 23 Starlink satellites, marking their 89th orbital mission of the year and bringing them closer to their goal of reaching 100 launches in a year. The Falcon 9 booster used for this mission, Booster 1078, flew for the sixth time and successfully landed on the droneship "A Shortfall of Gravitas." SpaceX aims to maximize launch capabilities with a rapid back-to-back launch cadence, with an average pad turnaround time of under 5 days. Looking ahead, there are five more launches scheduled for December, with the potential for more if schedules hold.
