On June 16, 2025, SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, successfully deploying 26 Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit to enhance its global internet network.

The mission, named Starlink 15-9, took off at 8:36 p.m. PDT and saw the reusable first-stage booster land on a droneship, marking SpaceX’s 451st successful booster recovery.

This launch, the 73rd Falcon 9 mission of 2025, further expanded the Starlink constellation, now over 7,500 satellites strong, aimed at delivering high-speed, low-latency internet worldwide.
