SpaceX has now launched nearly 8,100 Starlink satellites to date, more than 7,000 of which remain operational in LEO, according to satellite tracker and astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell. SpaceX has launched 28 Falcon 9 missions so far in 2025, and 20 of them have been Starlink flights.

A Falcon 9 rocket is scheduled for liftoff Monday night from Florida’s Space Coast. SpaceX plans to launch the rocket carrying 21 Starlink satellites from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Those satellites — 13 with direct-to-cell capabilities — will be deployed into low-Earth orbit to help expand the company’s global internet network.

NASA astronauts Barry "Butch" Wilmore and Sunita "Suni" Williams are closer to getting home, nine months after arriving on Boeing’s Starliner. A capsule is set to arrive at the space station Thursday.
