BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – SpaceX successfully launched a Falcon 9 rocket carrying 29 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, further expanding the company’s global broadband network.

The mission marked the ninth flight for the Falcon 9 first stage booster supporting the launch.

That booster has an impressive flight history, having previously flown missions including NROL-69, CRS-32, GPS III-7, USSF-36, and four prior Starlink launches, highlighting SpaceX’s continued emphasis on reusability and rapid launch cadence.

Following liftoff, the Falcon 9 performed a nominal ascent before stage separation. The first stage then executed a successful landing on SpaceX’s A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which was positioned in the Atlantic Ocean.

The recovery adds yet another successful landing to SpaceX’s growing record of booster reusability.
