SpaceX successfully launched 23 Starlink satellites from California on Feb. 10 aboard a Falcon 9 rocket.

The booster, completing its 23rd flight, landed on a drone ship in the Pacific, while the upper stage deployed the satellites into orbit.

This marks SpaceX’s 18th Falcon 9 mission of 2025, with 12 dedicated to Starlink, Space.com has reported.

The constellation now has over 6,900 operational satellites.
