The mission

The video captures the launch of a SpaceX Falcon 9 carrying Starlink satellites and follows it with mission control call-outs.

Sequence

After the countdown and ignition, the rocket lifts off, pitches onto its trajectory, passes through the speed of sound and through max dynamic pressure. This is followed by first-stage engine shutdown, stage separation, ignition of the second stage's vacuum engine and fairing separation. The first stage then performs the reentry burn and the landing burn.

Result

The first-stage landing is confirmed. The second stage shuts down its engine, and a nominal orbital insertion is confirmed.
