SpaceX is preparing to deploy another batch of Starlink satellites into orbit three nice after another launch from the Vandenberg Space Force Base.

Tonight's launch was SpaceX's 54th Falcon 9 mission of 2025 and 56th liftoff so far this year. The other two missions involved Starship, SpaceX's next-generation super-heavy-lift rocket. The company is gearing up for another Starship test flight — the vehicle's ninth overall — in the coming weeks.

BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. — SpaceX on Monday delayed an early morning rocket launch at Kennedy Space Center. The company was hoping its Falcon 9 rocket would send a new batch of Starlink satellites into orbit shortly after 1 a.m. But the company said it will now aim for liftoff Monday at 11:36 p.m.
