SpaceX braces for second Bahamas landing as Starlink launch lifts off from Cape Canaveral

SpaceX is set to launch a Falcon 9 from Cape Canaveral with 29 Starlink satellites in a 5 p.m. ET window. If all goes to plan, the first stage will touch down on the drone ship Just Read the Instructions in Exuma Sound—the company’s second Bahamian landing—about eight minutes after liftoff, while the 29 Starlink satellites will deploy roughly 64 minutes after liftoff. The Bahamas has cleared SpaceX to resume landing rockets in Exuma Sound following last year’s debris rain.

Regulators said all required reviews were completed, clearing SpaceX to resume Bahamian drone‑ship landings from Florida launches, with the first Bahamian landing having occurred on Feb. 18, 2025, and SpaceX planning to return to Exuma Sound landings soon to support new orbital trajectories.
