Blue Origin successfully test-fired its New Glenn rocket's seven main engines at Cape Canaveral, clearing the way for its upcoming launch, potentially as soon as November 9, with plans to recover and reuse the first stage for future missions including a lunar lander.
SpaceX launched its 28th batch of Starlink satellites from Cape Canaveral, marking the fifth anniversary of its first customer, and added to a constellation of over 8,700 satellites supporting more than seven million users worldwide.
SpaceX's Falcon 9 will launch its 21st and final expendable mission to deploy the SpainSat NG 2 communications satellite, which will operate at 29 degrees East and provide secure communications for Spain, the EU, and NATO. The rocket will not be recovered this time to maximize payload capacity, and the launch is scheduled from Cape Canaveral with favorable weather conditions.
SpaceX is planning an overnight launch from Cape Canaveral to deploy 28 new Starlink V2 Mini satellites, boosting the constellation to over 8,600 satellites. The launch, scheduled for early Thursday morning, is part of SpaceX's ongoing efforts to expand its satellite network, with weather conditions currently favorable for a successful mission.

SpaceX has received approval for a significant increase in Falcon 9 launches from Florida's Cape Canaveral, potentially more than doubling annual launches from 50 to 120, along with a new landing zone for boosters, pending further regulatory approvals. This move aims to boost launch frequency amid a busy manifest, while incorporating environmental protections and expanding SpaceX's launch capabilities on both coasts.
SpaceX successfully launched a Falcon 9 rocket carrying 24 Amazon Kuiper satellites from Cape Canaveral after five attempts delayed by weather and technical issues.
Poor weather conditions in the booster recovery zone caused SpaceX to postpone the launch of Amazon's Project Kuiper satellites for the fourth consecutive day, with a new target set for August 11. The launch has faced multiple delays due to technical issues and weather, including cloud violations and thunderstorms, but is now scheduled to proceed if conditions improve.
SpaceX launched its 450th flight-proven Falcon booster during the Starlink 10-30 mission from Cape Canaveral, marking a significant milestone in rocket reuse. The booster, used for the 21st time, successfully landed on a droneship after launch amid challenging weather conditions, contributing to SpaceX's ongoing Starlink satellite deployment efforts in 2025.

SpaceX postponed the launch of SES's O3b mPOWER satellites from Cape Canaveral due to weather and technical issues, now aiming for a backup launch on July 22. The mission involves launching two advanced communication satellites into medium Earth orbit using a Falcon 9 rocket, with the launch and landing procedures closely monitored and supported by Boeing and SES.
SpaceX is set to launch its 500th Falcon 9 rocket with a Starlink mission from Cape Canaveral, featuring the record-setting 29th flight of booster B1067, which will also attempt its 116th drone ship landing.
SpaceX is launching 27 Starlink satellites on a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral, aiming for a 3:54 p.m. EDT liftoff, with the mission adding to nearly 8,000 satellites in low Earth orbit. The launch, using booster B1080 for the 20th time, is part of ongoing efforts to expand the Starlink internet constellation, and the rocket's landing is expected on the droneship 'Just Read the Instructions.'
SpaceX's planned launch of Starlink 10-23 was aborted less than two minutes before liftoff due to a signal issue with the flight termination system on the Falcon 9 rocket; the next attempt is scheduled for June 23, with weather conditions favorable for launch.
