SpaceX launched 28 Starlink satellites from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. This launch marks the 51st orbital launch from Florida's Space Coast so far in 2025. The Falcon 9 first-stage booster used in this mission successfully landed on a drone ship, marking its fifth flight. A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocketed from Cape Canaveral northeastward over the Atlantic Ocean in the early morning darkness Wednesday, June 18, propelling another payload of 28 Starlink broadband satellites into low-Earth orbit. The Starlink 10-18 mission lifted off at 1:55 a.m. from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station while the bulk of East-Central Florida was devoid of significant cloud cover. Designed, owned and operated by SpaceX, the Starlink constellation now connects more than 6 million people with high-speed internet in 140 countries, territories and other markets. Since June 6, Starlink officials announced this list now includes Dominica, the Marshall Islands and Guinea-Bissau.
