SpaceX Successfully Launches Starlink 6-74

SpaceX successfully launched 28 Starlink v2-mini satellites as part of their ever-growing Starlink internet constellation from SLC-40 last evening. The launch took place at 9:52 PM.

Booster B1069 flew the mission, and to date has been successfully launched and recovered 23 times. The mission had a southeast trajectory, and the booster successfully landed on A Shortfall of Gravitas, which was stationed in the Bahamas.

So far, this mission is SpaceX’s 47th launch of 2025.

Looking ahead, Florida has the potential for a busy launch schedule in the coming days. SpaceX is currently targeting both Sunday and Monday for additional Starlink missions and ULA is aiming for their next Atlas V launch to be Monday evening.
