Falcon 9 launched from California and successfully deployed 27 Starlink satellites into orbit

On April 3, 2025, a Falcon 9 rocket launched from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, successfully deploying 27 Starlink satellites into orbit, strengthening SpaceX’s broadband internet network.

Notably, this booster, likely B1080, completed missions with three different payload types in just over three weeks: NASA’s SPHEREx and PUNCH scientific satellites on March 11, the NRO’s classified NROL-57 reconnaissance satellites on March 21, and this Starlink group, spanning a total of 23 days.

This rapid turnaround, reflecting scientific, national security, and commercial applications, highlights SpaceX’s reusable rocket technology and operational efficiency, further solidifying the Falcon 9’s critical role in advancing space exploration and connectivity.
