SpaceX launched two batches of Starlink satellites over consecutive days from both U.S. coasts.

On January 29, a Falcon 9 lifted 25 satellites from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, while on January 30, another Falcon 9 deployed 29 more satellites from Cape Canaveral in Florida.

Thursday’s booster (B1082) completed its 19th flight, landing on the droneship Of Course I Still Love You, and Friday’s booster (B1095) completed its fifth flight, landing on Just Read the Instructions.

The Starlink network now has over 9,600 satellites in orbit, providing broadband internet to underserved regions and supporting in-flight wifi and direct satellite calls, Space.com has reported.

Friday’s launch marked SpaceX’s 13th mission of 2026 and the 596th Falcon 9 flight since 2010.
