The Falcon 9 first stage B1094 has landed back at the launch site after its 2nd flight.

Landing Zone 1 - LZ-1

LZ-1 Pad located at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at the previous LC-13.

Return to Launch Site - RTLS

A return to launch site usually means that after stage separation the booster flips and does a burn back towards the launch site, landing near where it initially launched from.

A sonic boom may occur during booster recovery as the first stage returns to the landing zone. This atmospheric phenomenon creates a loud sound as the rocket breaks the sound barrier during its descent.
