Falcon 9 breaks reuse record on twin Starlink mission

SpaceX launched two Falcon 9 missions to deploy Starlink satellites on Saturday, Feb. 21, 2026. The second booster, B1067, marked a record 33rd flight, delivering 28 satellites and returning to Earth after landing on a droneship in the Atlantic, while the first-stage booster B1063 from the California launch completed its 31st flight and landed on a Pacific droneship. Together the two launches placed a combined 53 Starlink satellites into orbit, marking SpaceX's 21st and 22nd Falcon 9 launches of the year.

Artemis II Sets March Window for First Crewed Lunar Flyby Since Apollo

NASA aims to launch Artemis II in early March, sending four astronauts around the Moon for about 10 days aboard the Space Launch System and Orion capsule after a successful wet-dress rehearsal. The crew—Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen—will perform Earth orbit, then a distant lunar flyby before returning to Earth, paving the way for Artemis III’s lunar landing and a potential 2028 timeline. The mission marks the first crewed Moon encounter since 1972 and involves ongoing coordination with SpaceX and Blue Origin for future lunar infrastructure.

Highguard Dev Deletes Post After Toxic Fan Backlash Over Launch

After Highguard's January launch, a laid-off developer blamed toxic online backlash for its struggles; he deleted his post and later his X account amid aggressive fan responses, while data show about 1.54 million players last month; the piece argues backlash likely hurt momentum but warns against witch-hunts of developers and defends the need for risk-taking in game development.

California Starlink launch marks SpaceX's return to flight

SpaceX resumed Falcon 9 flights with a 25-satellite Starlink launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, with Booster 1088 completing its 13th flight and landing on the drone ship, and the upper stage performing nominally after an earlier anomaly. FAA clearance had allowed the return to flight, and the Starlink constellation now numbers over 9,600 satellites.

SpaceX returns to flight with Falcon 9 after Starlink mishap

SpaceX resumed Falcon 9 flights with the Starlink 17-33 mission from Vandenberg on Feb. 7, delivering 25 Starlink satellites after a brief stand-down prompted by the Feb. 2 Starlink 17-32 anomaly. The first stage, B1088, landed on the drone ship OCISLY—the 176th landing there and 568th booster landing overall. The FAA closed its mishap investigation, citing a second-stage ignition failure due to a gas bubble in the transfer tube, with SpaceX outlining deorbit/passivation measures. NASA says Crew-12 to the ISS remains a go for Feb. 11 from Cape Canaveral, with no increased risk to crew safety.

Artemis 2 Moon Mission Advances: Rocket Rolled to Pad for Crewed Launch

NASA rolled the Artemis 2 rocket from Kennedy Space Center’s Vehicle Assembly Building to the launch pad at Cape Canaveral as the four-person crewed mission moves toward liftoff. The Space Launch System and Orion spacecraft will carry Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Canada’s Jeremy Hansen on a roughly 10-day lunar loop, marking the first crewed lunar excursion in the Artemis era. This rollout shifts the project into the launch campaign phase, with teams wiring and testing the integrated vehicle at the pad and planning a wet dress rehearsal around February 2 ahead of a potential February launch.

Artemis II edges toward liftoff as SLS rolls to the launchpad

NASA’s Space Launch System and Orion moved to the Kennedy Space Center launchpad for Artemis II, a 10‑day crewed lunar flyby planned for February. The 98-meter rocket rolled out to the pad with commander Reid Wiseman and crew—Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen—on board. The mission will not orbit or land on the Moon this time; NASA plans a fueling test in early February and a launch window in the first half of February before March.
