SpaceX launches Starlink satellite stack from Vandenberg Space Force Base

SpaceX successfully launched 27 more Starlink satellites on June 4 from California’s Vandenberg Space Force Base using a Falcon 9 rocket. The booster, B1063, completed its 26th flight and landed on the drone ship Of Course I Still Love You in the Pacific. This marks the booster’s 18th Starlink mission. The satellites will soon move into their designated low Earth orbits, adding to Starlink’s growing network of over 7,600 satellites, Space.com has reported. This was SpaceX’s 68th Falcon 9 launch of 2025 and 71st overall launch this year, including three Starship test flights.
