SpaceX launched 29 more Starlink satellites early on Nov. 9 from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center aboard a Falcon 9 rocket.

The first stage successfully landed on the drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas in the Atlantic, marking its 28th flight—just shy of the record 31 missions for a single booster.

The upper stage carried the satellites to low Earth orbit, where they are set to deploy 64 minutes after liftoff, joining over 8,800 operational Starlink satellites in the megaconstellation.

This launch is part of SpaceX’s record-breaking 2025 pace, with 143 Falcon 9 missions so far, 103 of them dedicated to Starlink, Space.com has reported.

The network remains the largest satellite constellation ever assembled.
