SpaceX successfully launched 29 Starlink satellites from Florida early Monday, marking the 100th Falcon 9 flight from the state in 2025.

The rocket lifted off at 12:25 a.m. EST from Cape Canaveral’s Space Launch Complex 40 and reached space about 8 minutes and 40 seconds later.

After a coast period and a second engine burn, the Falcon 9 upper stage deployed the satellites, completing the mission.

The rocket’s first stage returned safely to the Atlantic Ocean and landed on the autonomous drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas, completing its ninth flight, Space.com has reported.

This launch followed a Starlink mission from California the day before and was SpaceX’s 163rd Falcon 9 flight in 2025, with another launch scheduled from Kennedy Space Center on Dec. 16.
