Twenty-nine new Starlink satellites were successfully deployed into low Earth orbit by a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on December 2 from Cape Canaveral.
The launch occurred at 5:18 p.m. EST, and the satellites were released 1 hour and 5 minutes later.
The Falcon 9’s first stage, Booster 1077, completed its 25th flight and landed on the drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas in the Atlantic.
These satellites, part of Group 6-95, join over 9,100 operational Starlink units in SpaceX’s global internet megaconstellation, Space.com has reported.
The launch marked SpaceX’s 155th Falcon 9 flight of 2025, out of 160 total missions so far this year.
