SpaceX launched 25 more Starlink satellites from Vandenberg Space Force Base, expanding its broadband megaconstellation.

The Falcon 9 rocket lifted off early Jan. 22 and deployed the satellites about an hour later.

Its first stage, Booster 1093, completed its 13th flight and successfully landed on a drone ship, Space.com has reported.

The new satellites join the 9,500 already in orbit, supporting internet access in underserved areas and services for airlines and cell networks.

This marked SpaceX’s ninth launch of 2026 and 592nd overall since 2010.
