SpaceX Falcon 9 launches 29 Starlink V2 Minis
SpaceX Starlink launch set for 6:48 p.m. EST from Cape Canaveral carrying 29 V2 Mini satellites.
SpaceX will lift a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 6:48 p.m. EST carrying 29 Starlink V2 Mini satellites in the company’s latest launch supporting network expansion. The mission highlights continued cadence for the broadband constellation as SpaceX adds higher-performance V2 Mini units to its low-Earth orbit (LEO) grid.
Booster B1094 will be the workhorse on this flight, marking its fifth mission. SpaceX plans to attempt an autonomous landing on the drone ship Just Read the Instructions; if successful, that recovery will add to the vessel’s long record of at-sea booster recoveries.
What to watch on this SpaceX Starlink launch
Flight timing, booster performance and the drone-ship landing are the three key details. Weather at Cape Canaveral is reported as highly favorable for the countdown window. A clean ascent and a successful boost-back and landing on Just Read the Instructions would keep B1094 on track for future re-flights.
- Mission basics: SpaceX Starlink launch uses Falcon 9 with 29 Starlink V2 Mini satellites; booster B1094 on its fifth flight and an attempted drone-ship landing.
SpaceX notes this flight will contribute to the ongoing densification of Starlink, which aims to increase capacity and improve regional coverage with newer satellite variants. The drone ship involved has recorded more than 140 booster landings, and SpaceX’s overall tally for booster recoveries is in the 500s, underscoring the company’s reuse strategy that trims launch costs.
For viewers on the ground, launches from Cape Canaveral provide a clear sightline along Florida’s Space Coast — if you’re in the area, follow local restrictions and official SpaceX livestreams for real-time updates rather than crowdsourcing unverified reports.
