SpaceX launches 28 Starlink satellites to orbit from California
It was the 156th Falcon 9 launch of the year.
www.space.comI don’t have live access to current feeds right now. Here’s the latest I can share from recent public reports:
- SpaceX has been conducting regular Starlink deployments from Vandenberg Space Force Base (California), lifting off Falcon 9 rockets from SLC-4E and deploying batches of Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit. These missions have typically aimed to densify the Starlink constellation and expand global coverage, with multiple deployments occurring across 2025–2026.[3][4][6][7]
- Notable recent patterns include new boosters flying on these missions, drone-ship landings, and deployment sequences starting roughly an hour after liftoff, indicating standard Starlink operations from Vandenberg.[1][2][3]
If you’d like, I can narrow to the very latest single mission with a quick summary, or pull in official SpaceX updates and Space Force base timetables once you confirm you want me to search again for the latest headline.
