SpaceX Falcon 9 launch from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

SpaceX launched 25 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit today in a flawless Falcon 9 mission from California. The rocket lifted off at 6:17 a.m. PT from Space Launch Complex 4 East at Vandenberg Space Force Base. This addition boosts the growing network that delivers high-speed internet to more homes, ships, and remote spots worldwide.

The first-stage booster made its eleventh flight after earlier runs on Starlink batches and other payloads. It separated smoothly, then touched down on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship in the Pacific Ocean. Sonic booms likely reached parts of Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura counties, shaped by local weather and conditions.

About an hour after liftoff, the second stage released every satellite. SpaceX confirmed full deployment through quick updates and shared clear views of the clean flight. These steps keep the Starlink fleet expanding at a fast clip, with each launch strengthening coverage and reliability.
Today’s success fits the pattern SpaceX has built through steady operations. The company pushes forward to meet rising demand for global connectivity.
