The @SpaceX droneship A Shortfall of Gravitas (ASOG), under the capable tow of launch support vessel Bob, is entering Port Canaveral now with a very sooty and tall booster B1060-14. Galaxy 33/34 was a beautiful launch…so is the return! 👍🏻🚀

A 14 flight booster and a 1 flight booster!

B1060 arrived in Port Canaveral this morning after completing 14 missions while Crew-5's booster, B1077-1 is waiting to be transported and refurbished for its next mission.

Gunter's claims a mass of 3654 for Galaxy 33 and 3695 for Galaxy 34 (https://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/galaxy-33.htm), for a combined mass of 7349kg (not including payload adapter?)

If that's true, how on Earth did a single F9 launch them both to GTO and recover the first stage (advertised 5.5t)?

19500km from the surface. This is what the TLE that came out just after launch (0.13 days) corresponds to:

The apogee of that orbit is above 19,000 km. That is not the same as the satellite being at 19,000 km above the surface at the epoch of the data.

David Brown has a feature-length article in the New York Times from SpaceX Mission Control during the launch campaigns for Crew-5, Starlink 4-29, and Galaxy 33/34.

31 Hours Inside SpaceX Mission Control
A reporter got an inside look at SpaceX’s attempt to launch and land three rockets in less than two days in October, part of the company’s bid to make spaceflight appear almost routine.
