In what has become hardly a leap for the company, SpaceX concluded its Starlink satellite launches for February 2026 with a trio of flights this week.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday (Feb. 24) at 6:04 p.m. EST (2304 GMT), a Falcon 9 lifted the first 29 satellites into low Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station<\/a> in Florida. The next day, 25 more Starlink units were sent space-ward by a different Falcon 9 flying at 9:17 a.m. EST (1417 GMT or 6:17 a.m. PST local time) from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Finally, on Friday (Feb. 27) at 7:16 a.m. EST (1216 GMT), a third Falcon 9<\/a> rocket carrying 29 new additions for the SpaceX megaconstellation lifted off from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.<\/p>\n You may like<\/p>\n All three launches successfully deployed their Starlink payload (Groups 6-110<\/a>, 17-26<\/a> and 6-108<\/a>) into the expected orbit, SpaceX confirmed.<\/p>\n Also on all three flights, the Falcon 9 rocket’s first stage flew back to Earth to land on an ocean-based drone ship. Tuesday’s booster (B1092) touched down on Just Read the Instructions stationed in the Atlantic Ocean, completing its 10th mission.
