SpaceX West Coast Falcon 9 Deploys 25 More Starlink Satellites

Just one day after reaching its 1,000-satellite milestone for 2026, SpaceX continued its back-to-back launch cadence with a Falcon 9 mission from its West Coast facility on April 15, 2026, carrying 25 additional Starlink satellites to low Earth orbit. The rapid sequential launches underscore SpaceX's ambition to maintain a launch pace of roughly one Starlink mission every 4–5 days to support Direct-to-Cell global coverage and capacity expansion for its growing subscriber base. The West Coast site allows SpaceX to reach orbital inclinations that improve coverage for high-latitude regions including northern Europe, Canada, and parts of Central Asia.
