SpaceX to Launch 28 Starlink Satellites from Vandenberg Space Force Base

In a highly anticipated move, SpaceX is preparing to launch another batch of its Starlink internet satellites into low-Earth orbit on Sunday, September 28, 2025. The company plans to launch 28 Starlink satellites from its Falcon 9 rocket, taking off from the Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.

This will be the 28th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, and SpaceX says the booster will land on the "Of Course I Still Love You" drone ship stationed in the Pacific Ocean after the stage separation. A live webcast of the launch will be available on the company's website, as with previous Falcon 9 missions.

Starlink is SpaceX's ambitious project to create a global satellite internet network, with thousands of satellites orbiting the Earth at an altitude of around 550 kilometers. The system is designed to provide high-speed, low-latency internet access to users around the world, supporting a range of applications from streaming to online gaming.

The upcoming launch is the latest step in SpaceX's ongoing efforts to expand the Starlink constellation and bring its internet service to more customers globally. As the company continues to refine its reusable rocket technology, these Starlink missions have become a regular occurrence, with the potential to significantly impact the future of global connectivity.
