“Well…it’s Monday…again, and SpaceX launched 29 Starlink satellites to Low-Earth Orbit on another routine Falcon 9 flight this afternoon.” You can almost hear Bill Murray saying that in the role of newsman Phil Connors in the movie “Groundhog Day.” SpaceX launches that often on the Space Coast, and today, the company launched another Starlink mission, and Booster B0167 successfully completed its 32nd flight.

Liftoff occurred at 5:26 p.m. EST (2226 UTC) from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center, and into mostly leaden, overcast skies that were just starting to clear after a cold front passed through the Space Coast region in the past couple of days.

The flight was nominal, and at T+8:23s Booster B1067 touched down aboard ASDS ‘Just Read The Instructions’, stationed in the Atlantic east of The Bahamas. Fifteen seconds later, the second stage of Falcon 9 reached SECO, or Second Stage Engine Cut-Off, and was in its initial orbit.

The Clubhouse Leader With 32 Flights

Booster B1067.32 remains the all-time leader for SpaceX boosters, having earned its soot on the CRS-22, Crew-3, Turksat 5B, Crew-4, CRS-25, Eutelsat HOTBIRD 13G, SES O3B mPOWER-A, PSN SATRIA, Telkomsat Merah Putih 2, Galileo L13, Koreasat-6A, and now 21 Starlink missions.

That’s quite a resumĂ©, and on SpaceX must certainly be proud of. Now aboard ‘Just Read The Instructions’, it will return to Port Canaveral, where it will be offloaded, transported to HangarX at Kennedy Space Center and ostensibly prepared for its next flight.

SpaceX added to its roster of Starlink satellites today when it launched the Starlink Group 10-17 mission from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral. Liftoff was at 1:39 PM ET and into partly cloudy skies on a day in the low 80s.

Aboard the rocket was another group of Starlink V2 Mini satellites, which will join the company’s Starlink network of more than 8,400 similar units in low-Earth orbit. Using Starlink satellites, the company provides Internet connectivity to over seven million customers in 130 countries and territories worldwide.

In the overnight hours this morning, SpaceX achieved a landmark in its launch manifest: the company’s 500th Falcon 9 flight. Launching on its 500th mission overall, the Falcon 9 rocket roared off from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 2:28 a.m. EDT (0628 UTC).

The flight also set a new high-water mark for booster reuse, as first stage B1067 chalked up its 29th trip to space and back when it touched down safely aboard ASDS ‘A Shortfall of Gravitas.’ That’s more flights than any other Falcon booster on record. To put it into perspective, this morning’s flight of B1067 is one more than Columbia, the Shuttle orbiter that flew 28 missions before tragedy struck it and its crew during re-entry in February  2003. It is also ten less than the all-time reuse leader, STS Orbiter Discovery, which flew 39 missions with the last being STS‑133 in March 2011. SpaceX has stated that their goal for Falcon 9 booster reuse is forty mission, and at this point in time, B1067 is nearly three-quarters of the way there.

Booster B1067 and ‘A Shortfall of Gravitas’ will now return to Port Canaveral, where the booster will be offloaded, returned to SpaceX’s Hangar X at Kennedy Space Center for inspection, refurbishment and preparation for its next mission at some date in the future.

Starlink Notes

Starlink 10-25 was the first Starlink launch of July and deployed 27 Starlink V2 Mini-Optimized satellites into a 279-kilometer orbit inclined 53.2 degrees to the equator. After a textbook ascent on a northeast trajectory, the second stage released its payload approximately 55 minutes after liftoff, marking another routine deployment for SpaceX’s rapidly growing broadband constellation.

Starlink 10-25 added to the more than 7,900 operational satellites that make up the world’s largest low-Earth-orbit constellation, designed to deliver high-speed internet to underserved and remote regions around the globe. This latest batch of V2 Mini satellites is optimized for quicker deployment and greater data throughput, continuing SpaceX’s strategy of incremental upgrades to the network’s overall performance.

Beating The Weather

Meteorologists from the U.S. Space Force’s 45th Weather Squadron had forecast a 90 percent chance of favorable conditions for the pre-dawn launch, with only scattered cumulus clouds expected to drift through the Cape Canaveral area. Skies remained clear at ignition, ensuring uninterrupted visibility for the mission’s live webcast and ground observers alike.
