See images of SpaceX rocket launching on Starlink mission from Florida coast
A SpaceX Falcon 9 delivered another 29 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit on Sunday, July 5, making for a photogenic post-sunrise sight during the holiday weekend from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. And a pair of Fabships — pilot manufacturing pods built by the semiconductor manufacturing company Besxar — hitched a ride with the rocket's first-stage booster for flight testing. The Falcon 9 lifted off from Launch Complex 40 at 6:50 a.m. The Starlink 10-50 mission clocked in as the 45th orbital rocket launch thus far during 2026 from the Space Force installation and NASA's neighboring Kennedy Space Center. On Thursday, July 9, SpaceX has scheduled a similar Starlink satellite mission from Launch Complex 40. The four-hour launch window extends from 5:05 a.m. to 9:05 a.m., and the Falcon 9 will follow a northeasterly trajectory.
