CALIFORNIA : The launch took place from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, with a Falcon 9 rocket carrying the satellites into low Earth orbit. According to the company, the mission was completed successfully, with the rocket’s first stage landing on a robotic drone ship about 8.5 minutes after liftoff.

This mission marked the 109th flight of a Falcon 9 rocket, underscoring SpaceX’s reputation for reusable launch technology. The newly deployed satellites will join the approximately 8,300 Starlink units already in orbit, further strengthening the network’s capacity to deliver near-global internet coverage.
