SpaceX is preparing to launch a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida on Monday afternoon that will carry internet-beaming Starlink satellites into orbit.

SpaceX has successfully launched its newest round of Starlink satellites into Earth's lower orbit from a Falcon 9 rocket. Twenty-one total satellites were onboard, and 13 of them have direct-to-cellphone capabilities.

Since the start of 2025, Elon Musk's rocket manufacturing company SpaceX has been busy completing multiple launches, starting on Jan. 3.

SpaceX launched another batch of its Starlink internet satellites from California's central coast today (Jan. 24). A Falcon 9 rocket carrying 23 Starlink craft lifted off from Vandenberg Space Force Base today, at 9:07 a.m. EST (1407 GMT; 6:07 a.m. local time).

SpaceX is targeting a 4½-hour launch window for another Starlink mission from 2:21 p.m. to 6:52 p.m., an FAA operations plan advisory shows.

SpaceX is planning for another Falcon 9 rocket launch this week at Vandenberg Space Force Base. The launch is currently scheduled for 6:07 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 23. Following stage separation, about eight minutes after liftoff, SpaceX will aim to land the rocket's first stage booster on a droneship in the Pacific Ocean.

SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket carrying 21 Starlink satellites to low Earth-orbit from Florida on Monday. Decades of data reveal a monumental separation. The comments come amid increased attention on a global AI race between the U.S. and China.
