Overview
- Two Falcon 9 rockets lifted off Sunday from Cape Canaveral and Vandenberg, carrying 28 Starlink satellites each for a total of 56.
- The additions pushed SpaceX past 10,000 Starlink satellites launched to date, according to the company and independent reporting.
- This milestone came on the 132nd Falcon 9 mission of 2025, tying last year’s annual launch record with weeks left in the year.
- Fleet-leader booster B1067 flew for the 31st time and landed on the droneship A Shortfall of Gravitas, as a second booster recovered on Of Course I Still Love You.
- Roughly 8,600 Starlink spacecraft are currently operational by independent counts, reflecting planned turnover for five-year lifetimes and end-of-life deorbiting.
