SpaceX Starlink mission becomes record-breaking rocket launch from Cape Canaveral
A chilly Monday night brought a deep rumble to the Space Coast — and the start of a new record, as a SpaceX Falcon 9 rose into the sky marking Florida’s 94th rocket launch of the year.
Last year saw 93 rockets take off from the Space Coast. Now with just more than seven weeks left in the year, Florida is on track to count more than 100 launches.
The Nov. 10 liftoff was a batch of 29 Starlink internet satellites, referred to as Starlink 6-87. Overall, it marked the 62nd Starlink mission from Florida in 2025. In total for the year, 1,579 Starlink satellites have been launched from the Space Coast.
SpaceX’s Falcon 9 continues to be the most frequently launched rocket from Florida, accounting for 89 of the 94 liftoffs this year. Only five of the current 2025 liftoffs have not been a Falcon 9 – yet both United Launch Alliance and Blue Origin plan to get more numbers on that list by the end of the coming week.
