Kennedy Space Center, Florida – SpaceX launched 29 Starlink broadband satellites early this morning, November 9.

A Falcon 9 lifted off at 3:10 a.m. EST (0810 GMT) from historic Pad 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.

About 8.5 minutes later, the first stage landed in the Atlantic Ocean on the drone ship “A Shortfall of Gravitas.”

This flight marked the 28th mission for booster 1069. The record stands at 31, set last month by booster 1067 on a Starlink launch.

Meanwhile, the upper stage continued toward low Earth orbit with the 29 satellites, scheduled for deployment 64 minutes after liftoff.

The newcomers will join more than 8,800 operational satellites in the Starlink megaconstellation, the largest network of spacecraft ever assembled.

So far in 2025, SpaceX has conducted 143 Falcon 9 missions, including 103 dedicated Starlink flights.
