This milestone represents a dramatic acceleration in pace compared to the 132 Falcon 9 launches<\/strong> SpaceX performed in 2024. With this flight, the company has completed a total of 155 launches<\/strong> in 2025: 150 Falcon 9 missions<\/strong> and five suborbital Starship<\/strong> test flights. This averages out to one launch every 2.4 days<\/strong> throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Falcon 9 first-stage booster, B1080<\/strong>, completed its ninth mission and successfully landed on the drone ship named “A Shortfall of Gravitas<\/strong>” in the Atlantic Ocean. With the latest mission, the total number of Falcon 9 flights conducted since 2010 has risen to 568<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SpaceX is targeting a launch window at Vandenberg Space Force Base<\/strong> on Sunday, November 23rd, for its next Starlink mission<\/strong>. The rocket will follow a southeastern trajectory from Space Launch Complex 4E<\/strong> and carry 28 Starlink satellites to Low Earth Orbit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the 29 satellites<\/strong> added on Saturday (note: the original text mentioned 28 in the first paragraph, 29 here, I kept the original number), the number of active Starlink satellites<\/strong> has exceeded 9,000<\/strong> out of the more than 10,400 satellites launched since 2019. According to satellite tracker Jonathan McDowell, SpaceX has conducted 109 Starlink missions<\/strong> in 2025 alone, deploying a total of 2,814 satellites<\/strong> into orbit this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company announced earlier this month that it has surpassed 8 million active customers<\/strong> worldwide. Starlink<\/strong> currently offers high-speed internet service in more than 150 countries and territories<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
