Falcon 9 at Queens Gate The SpaceX West Coast booster recovery fleet is seen on its way into the Port of Long Beach following the DART launch. GO Quest is leading the convoy, followed by the tug Scoripus and Of Course I Still Love You carrying booster 1063.	NROL-85 Exhaust plume interactions after staging are lit up in the predawn sky following a SpaceX Falcon 9 launch from Vandenberg SFB. The second stage carrying the NROL-85 payload is headed to the left, while the first stage is performing a boostback burn pointed to the upper right.	Starlink 3-1 A SpaceX Falcon 9 is silhouetted against a carpet of marine layer clouds at Vandenberg Space Force Base, as seen from an altitude of 9000'. This was the 6th flight of booster 1063, carrying the Starlink 3-1 payload.	Starlink 3-2 A SpaceX Falcon 9 rises through the marine layer at Vandenberg Space Force Base, as seen from an altitude of 8500'. This was the 4th flight of booster 1071, carrying the Starlink 3-2 payload.
Starlink 4-31 at Sunset The Falcon 9 Starlink 4-31 mission lifted off from Vandenberg SFB a minute after local sunset, but the sun was still up as seen from an altitude of 6500'. This set up a natural schlieren system showing the shock waves generated by the rocket.	Starlink 4-31 at Sunset #2 (Editor's Choice) The Falcon 9 Starlink 4-31 mission lifted off from Vandenberg SFB a minute after local sunset, but the sun was still up as seen from an altitude of 6500'. The sun is flattened from atmospheric refraction, but also looks a bit rattled by the shock waves from the rocket.
