SpaceX has conducted another successful launch of the Falcon 9 FT Block 5 launch vehicle from the US Space Force base Vandenberg (site SLC-4E). As part of the Starlink-11.22 mission, 27 satellites of the Starlink global satellite network were launched into low-Earth orbit.
The launch took place with the support of the 30th Space Wing of the US Space Force and was accompanied by spectacular video footage published by SpaceX in official channels. The central event was the successful return of the first stage of the B1063 booster rocket, which made its 26th flight. After completing the mission, the stage landed neatly on the OCISLY automated marine platform in the Pacific Ocean, confirming SpaceX's leadership in the field of reusable rockets.
This is not the only achievement of the company in recent weeks. On June 2, 2025, SpaceX celebrated the 500th Falcon mission launched from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral. Earlier, on May 13, the 28th flight of one of the Falcon 9 boosters took place, which set a new record for the number of repeated launches. And on May 23, the company successfully completed the 450th landing of the first stage, once again demonstrating the reliability and cost-effectiveness of its rocket technology.
The Starlink-11.22 mission continues to implement the global satellite Internet deployment project. The Starlink network, which already has several thousand active satellites, provides high-speed Internet access in the most remote parts of the world and is actively used for civil and humanitarian purposes.
The latest launch not only strengthens SpaceX's position in the space industry, but also highlights the company's commitment to sustainable commercial flight development with minimal costs and maximum operational flexibility.
