Starlink satellites

Four people were injured when a bus carrying a high school football team overturned in North Carolina. A 5-year-old boy was killed by his father in Mecklenburg County, and SpaceX successfully launched a Falcon 9 rocket carrying 29 Starlink satellites.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket was visible over North Carolina after a successful launch from a Florida space force station, deploying 29 Starlink satellites. A viewer in Burke County captured the event, noting its visibility from over 500 miles away. The rocket's first-stage booster, on its 28th flight, was expected to land on SpaceX's 'A Shortfall of Gravitas' droneship.

SpaceX launched 24 Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit using a Falcon 9 rocket from California. The mission successfully deployed the satellites as part of the Starlink satellite internet project.

SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket carrying 29 Starlink satellites into Earth orbit from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on May 29, 2026. The launch occurred at Space Launch Complex 40.

SpaceX's Starship successfully deployed Starlink satellites during its 12th flight test but faced setbacks in its Super Heavy Booster's performance and failed to reignite a Raptor engine in space, delaying orbital and lunar mission goals. The test highlighted both achievements, like satellite deployment and controlled reentry, and challenges, including booster failure and engine issues.

SpaceX launched its upgraded Starship V3 on a test flight from Texas on May 22, 2026, carrying 20 mock Starlink satellites. Despite engine issues, the spacecraft reached the Indian Ocean and exploded as expected, marking progress for NASA's Artemis moon program and future Mars missions.

SpaceX successfully completed its 50th launch of 2026, deploying 25 Starlink satellites into orbit using a Falcon 9 rocket from California. The mission marked a significant milestone in the company's annual launch schedule.
