🚀 SpaceX Launches 27 Starlink Satellites with Brand-New Falcon 9 Rocket

In a successful mission on April 7, 2025, SpaceX launched 27 Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit using a brand-new Falcon 9 booster from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The mission, dubbed Starlink 11-11, marked only the second launch of a new Falcon 9 this year. The booster, likely designated B1091, made a smooth landing on the "Of Course I Still Love You" droneship in the Pacific Ocean just eight minutes after liftoff. Meanwhile, the rocket’s upper stage continued to deploy the satellites, contributing to SpaceX’s ever-growing Starlink constellation, now boasting over 7,000 operational satellites.
