SpaceX @SpaceXDeployment of 29 @Starlink satellites confirmed
On Monday, December 8 at 5:26 p.m. ET, Falcon 9 launched 29 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.This was the 32nd flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched CRS-22, Crew-3, Turksat 5B, Crew-4, CRS-25, Eutelsat HOTBIRD 13G, SES O3B mPOWER-A, PSN SATRIA, Telkomsat Merah Putih 2, Galileo L13, Koreasat-6A, and now 21 Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage landed on the Just Read the Instructions droneship, which was stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

There was a late change in the ASDS used BTW (initially noticed by cameras at the Cape 2 days ago and now confirmed by the stream) - it's ASOG and not JRTI as stated on the website that did this recovery.

That is no longer the case. Now, the next two military missions booked to launch on Vulcan are scheduled for next year, according to a spokesperson for Space Systems Command. These missions will launch a pair of in-space reconnaissance satellites and a GPS navigation spacecraft.

Quote from: GewoonLukas_ on 12/08/2025 07:32 pmI don't think CSG-3 will launch on the Twilight mission. In Mid-November, CSG-3 was confirmed for launch before the end of the year. The Twilight mission (which includes Pandora) was already scheduled to launch on January 5th at that time. So these Spire satellites should be launching with Pandora.CSG-3 flying before end of year (dated November 18th)This e-GEOS interview from Nov 24th, says CSG-3 is launching on December 28th.CSG-3 weighs 2.2 tons, so its almost certainly ridesharing with other satellites.

From CADENA OIS, replacing the spot of Starlink Group 10-36 (which is apparently not ready to launch from regulatory POV):Primary Launch Day 19 DEC 0500Z-0900ZBackup Launch Day 20 DEC 0500Z-0900ZBackup Launch Day 21 DEC 0500Z-0900ZBackup Launch Day 22 DEC 0500Z-0900ZBackup Launch Day 23 DEC 0500Z-0900ZBackup Launch Day 24 DEC 0500Z-0900ZBackup Launch Day 25 DEC 0500Z-0900Z
Well it looks like final approval hasn’t come yet, because the entry for Starlink Group 10-36 has disappeared from CADENA OIS - in its place is Starlink Group 6-88 (which does not use Exuma Sound for booster landing) launching almost one day earlier.
On Tuesday, December 9 at 2:16 p.m. ET, Falcon 9 launched the NROL-77 mission from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.This was the fourth flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched KF-01, IMAP, and one Starlink mission. Following stage separation, the first stage landed on Landing Zone 2 (LZ-2) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.NROL-77 was the third mission Falcon 9 launched in 2025 on behalf of the Space Systems Command and National Reconnaissance Office, continuing to deliver assured access to space.
On Wednesday, December 10 at 3:40 a.m. PT, Falcon 9 launched 27 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.This was the 18th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched USSF-62, OneWeb Launch 20, NROL-145, and now 15 Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage landed on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship, which was stationed in the Pacific Ocean.
