A batch of 28 satellites for the Starlink mega-constellation - SpaceX's project for space-based Internet communication system.
Location
Space Launch Complex 40
Cape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
Find the best place to watch the launch from Florida
Space Launch Complex 40 has witnessed the launch of 339 rockets, including 339 orbital launch attempts. While Cape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA, has been the site for 1058 rocket launches.
Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS) is an installation of the United States Space Force's Space Launch Delta 45, located on Cape Canaveral in Brevard County, Florida.
Rocket
SpaceX Falcon 9 Block 5
Falcon 9 is a two-stage rocket designed and manufactured by SpaceX for the reliable and safe transport of satellites and the Dragon spacecraft into orbit. The Block 5 variant is the fifth major interval aimed at improving upon the ability for rapid reusability.
Landing
Core B1095
The Falcon 9 1st stage B1095 has landed on ASDS JRTI after its 2nd flight. Booster B1095 last launched 08/27/2025 and has seen 2 successful launches and landings. Falcon 9 booster debuting on Starlink Group 12-15.
Just Read the Instructions - JRTI
Third (Marmac 303) ASDS barge, Just Read the Instructions (JRTI) is currently used to recover Falcon 9 and Heavy boosters in the Atlantic Ocean.
Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship - ASDS
An autonomous spaceport drone ship (ASDS) is an ocean-going vessel derived from a deck barge, outfitted with station-keeping engines and a large landing platform. Construction of such ships was commissioned by aerospace company SpaceX to allow for recovery of rocket first-stages at sea for high-velocity missions which do not carry enough fuel to return to the launch site after lofting spacecraft onto an orbital trajectory.
Agency
SpaceX
Space Exploration Technologies Corp., known as SpaceX, is an American aerospace manufacturer and space transport services company headquartered in Hawthorne, California. It was founded in 2002 by entrepreneur Elon Musk with the goal of reducing space transportation costs and enabling the colonization of Mars. SpaceX operates from many pads, on the East Coast of the US they operate from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and historic LC-39A at Kennedy Space Center. They also operate from SLC-4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, usually for polar launches. Another launch site is being developed at Boca Chica, Texas.
In the future, can you have at least a good portion of your flights from Florida up the east coast take place when it’s dark outside? That way we can see it. Ideally right street out gets dark or right before the sun comes up. Win-win. People win because they… Read more »
