SpaceX to loft 29 Starlink satellites from Cape Canaveral, marking 600th 2026 launch

SpaceX is set to launch a Falcon 9 from Cape Canaveral carrying 29 Starlink satellites (Starlink 10-40) into low Earth orbit, the 600th Starlink deployment of 2026. Booster B1080 will attempt a landing on the drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas about 8.5 minutes after liftoff. The mission benefits from a 90% favorable-weather forecast, with only a small risk from cumulus clouds; this flight marks the booster’s 25th flight and continues SpaceX’s rapid Starlink cadence.
