Its nine Merlin 1D engines will fire for nearly two and a half minutes before the first stage separates from the second stage. The first-stage booster will continue downrange to land on the drone ship \u2018A Shortfall of Gravitas\u2019 in the Atlantic Ocean, east of the Bahamas.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9aXEddQ7cDE\" width=\"678\" height=\"381\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The Falcon 9 booster for Monday\u2019s Starlink 6-34 mission, tail number B1081, was making its third flight.
