Live updates from SpaceX's Friday afternoon Starlink 6-96 mission that launched a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

SpaceX launched 29 more Starlink satellites from Florida, reused a veteran Falcon 9 booster, and inched closer to global internet coverage, raising questions about how fast the constellation will grow next.

Starlink is separately planning to launch yet another 15,000 satellites that are designed for mobile service. SpaceX asked the FCC to approve this plan in September 2025, saying the “new system will offer a new generation of MSS connectivity, supporting voice, texting, and high-speed data.”

Elon Musk’s SpaceX has secured permission to launch a further 7,500 Starlink satellites to add to its space-based internet network. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) also approved upgrades to the firm’s Gen2 satellites that will allow it to expand its broadband and mobile services to more parts of the world.

SpaceX recently released its 2025 Progress Report for Starlink, outlining a year of rapid expansion, major performance gains, and the global rollout of its satellite-to-phone service known as Starlink Direct to Cell.

The Falcon 9 first-stage booster should wrap up its 29th mission by landing aboard the SpaceX drone ship Just Read the Instructions in the Atlantic Ocean.
