SpaceX launched 29 Starlink satellites from Cape Canaveral on Tuesday, lifting off at about 7:15 p.m. ET. The mission used a Falcon 9 booster on its 12th flight; that same booster has previously supported crewed missions and other Starlink deployments. The new satellites will join SpaceX’s global broadband constellation as they complete deployment and activation.

SpaceX successfully launched 29 Starlink satellites into orbit from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on Tuesday. Liftoff occurred at approximately 7:15 p.m. ET, marking another deployment for the company’s expanding broadband constellation.
Launch details
The mission used a Falcon 9 booster on its 12th flight. That booster has previously supported crewed missions as well as multiple Starlink launches. The flight began around 7:15 p.m. ET and placed the satellites into their planned orbit.
Why this matters
Each batch of Starlink satellites helps strengthen the global broadband network that provides internet service to remote and underserved areas. Reusing Falcon 9 boosters for multiple missions is a key part of SpaceX’s strategy to lower launch costs and increase flight cadence.
What to watch next: Spacewatchers and customers can expect the new satellites to undergo deployment and activation procedures in the coming days as they join the Starlink constellation.
