Full Transcript
SpaceX successfully launched 28 Starlink satellites on December 7, 2025, at 9:58 a.m. PST from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. This mission, known as Starlink 11-15, added to SpaceX's expanding constellation of over 9,100 operational satellites, providing essential broadband internet access worldwide.
The Falcon 9 rocket's first stage, tail number B1088, completed its 12th flight and made a successful autonomous landing on the droneship 'Of Course I Still Love You' in the Pacific Ocean, marking SpaceX's 168th booster landing on this vessel.
However, SpaceX faced weather-related delays for another mission intended to launch the 3,000th Starlink satellite, which was postponed due to poor conditions and is now rescheduled for December 8, 2025, pending improved weather forecasts.
