SpaceX successfully launched a Falcon 9 rocket carrying 23 Starlink satellites on June 3, 2025. The launch took place from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
Thirteen of these satellites feature Direct to Cell capabilities, enhancing connectivity. The launch window opened at 12:43 a.m. ET, following a scrubbed attempt on June 2 due to unfavorable weather conditions.
This mission marked the 21st flight for the first stage booster B1077. Previously, it supported missions like Crew-5 and multiple Starlink deployments. Following stage separation, the first stage landed on the 'Just Read the Instructions' droneship stationed in the Atlantic Ocean. This successful launch contributes to expanding Starlink's global internet coverage and direct-to-cell service.
