B1069 returns after its 3rd mission. Humans for scale.

The missions this booster flew were:
• CRS-24
• Starlink 4-23
• Hotbird 13F

Mandatory selfie:

Work got in the way of catching 1069 vertical but I still caught it in port. Sigh. I'll stop back after work to see 1062 which was waiting for entry offshore.

The gangs all here! Bob, Doug, JRTI, ASOG, Crosby Skipper, alongside 2 Falcon 9 Boosters B1062 and B1069 are all present in port Canaveral. A brief rest is in order for the fleet, as the next scheduled offshore landing is almost a month out. Next up, Falcon Heavy!

Based on the video of the booster landing, I believe these 2 World Cup balls were launched on this mission:

Hotbird 13F reached GEO. The inclination will be reduced a little more.
longitude is about 1.5° E, position for testing?

The Airbus-built Eutelsat HOTBIRD 13F satellite has reached its geostationary orbit, 36,000km away after five months of Electric Orbit Raising (EOR). It has completed comprehensive testing at its orbital position ahead of entering full service. For this purpose, it was equipped with a camera at the tip of one of the robotic arms hosting the electric propulsion thrusters, allowing us to share this satellite selfie.
