SpaceX, Falcon 9, Starlink 10-21, October 27, 2025

On a bright and sunny but very breezy morning, SpaceX launched another tranche of Starlink Mini V2 satellites to orbit today from Space Launch Complex 40 in Cape Canaveral. Launch was at 11:00 AM ET, and sixty-six minutes later at 12:06 PM ET, SpaceX declared the mission was a success when it announced a successful deployment of all 28 satellites included in the payload.

Falcon 9 and Starlink 10-21 rise as a fine sea mist hugs the wind-beaten surface of the Banana River today. Coupled with the inevitable heat-distortion of shooting through miles of distance between camera and pad, the photo takes on an almost Impressionist view.

Booster B1077 completed its 24th flight when it landed aboard ASDS ‘A Shortfall of Gravitas,’ located about 625 km (388 miles) downrange from SLC-40 in the Atlantic Ocean. Both the booster and the barge will now return to Port Canaveral, where the booster will be offloaded and transported to Hangar X at the Kennedy Space Center for refurbishment and preparation for its next flight.

I'm a NASA kid originally from Cocoa Beach, FL, born of Project Apollo. My family worked for NASA and/or their contractors, and I watched it all as a kid. And what kid doesn't like rockets? Currently, I am an IT engineer, a recovered R&D scientist that spent time in laser metrology, fiber optic applications and also lightning protection. I'm also a photographer, a writer and a bad musician. My favorite things are space, boating, sports, music and traveling. You can find me on Twitter as @TheOldManPar.
