SpaceX CRS-23 launch and Falcon 9 first stage landing

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched the CRS-23 Dragon spacecraft from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at Kennedy Space Center, Florida, on 29 August 2021 at 07:14 UTC (03:14 EDT). The CRS-23 Dragon spacecraft previously supported the CRS-21 mission and is scheduled to autonomously dock to the International Space Station on 30 August 2021, at approximately 15:00 UTC (11:00 EDT). Following stage separation, Falcon 9’s first stage (B1061) landed on the “A Shortfall of Gravitas” droneship, located in the Atlantic Ocean. The booster previously supported SpaceX’s Crew-1 and Crew-2 missions, and the launch of SXM-8. Credit: NASA/SpaceX
