Payload: Starlink 10-32
Location: Launch Complex 39A, NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, Florida
Vehicle: Falcon 9
SpaceX launched the Starlink 10-32 (Starlink Group 10-32) mission on May 28, 2025, from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center using Falcon 9. The launch delivered 27 Starlink V2 Mini satellites to a 279 km, 53° orbit for SpaceX’s broadband constellation. Booster B1080 completed its 19th flight, landing on the droneship ‘Just Read the Instructions’ in the Atlantic. This launch marked the company’s 420th re-flown booster flight and contributed to the expansion of the Starlink internet constellation. Favorable weather conditions were expected for the morning launch, and a live webcast was available. The satellites deployed about 64 minutes after liftoff.

LC-39A, Kennedy Space Center, Florida, USA
Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) is one of the most significant and iconic launch pads in spaceflight history, situated at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island, Florida. Constructed in the 1960s for the Apollo program, it was the launch site of Apollo 11—the first crewed mission to land on the Moon—and later adapted for the Space Shuttle program, supporting dozens of launches over several decades.
In 2014, NASA began leasing LC-39A to SpaceX, marking a new era for the launch site. SpaceX has extensively modified the facility to support Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launches, and is further upgrading the pad for Starship missions. The site is a focal point for both crewed and uncrewed flights to the International Space Station, national security launches, and commercial missions, continuing its legacy as a cornerstone of American space exploration.
