Above and below there is no doubt which booster this is. B1060.1 has completed its first mission. Viewed ahead of launch and post recovery.

Some closeup photos of Falcon 9 B1060.1 for you to enjoy.

The booster returned to Port Canaveral this morning following its first launch, which delivered the United States Space Force’s third GPS III satellite to orbit on Tuesday. 🚀🇺🇸

The new blue X on the Falcon 9 looks even better after flying to space!

Any updates on leg retraction / going horizontal?

The crews had the weekend off. Some man lifts were lifted on to the ASDS and were moving around the legs earlier today, which I think implies the legs will be raised on the Octagrabber (for the first time on JRTI). None of that happens without the lifting cap, which has not been placed yet.

Some heavy rain just rolled through, with more possible later on. That might explain the delay.

Edit: As of 9AM 7/7 the lifting cap is finally being raised.

B1060.1 is finally being processed today at Port Canaveral.

2 of the 4 landing legs have already been retracted. The crane has been detached meaning that - once all legs are stowed - Octagrabber will be the only thing keeping Falcon 9 vertical.

Per visual reports from @derekiswise and webcams: Whilst recovery operators were retracting the third landing leg on B1060, the cable snapped and the leg smacked back down onto the deck of the droneship.

Nobody was reportedly near the leg during the operation.
