Falcon 9 Starlink 10-62: Booster B1078 Completes Record 27th Flight
SpaceX launched the Starlink 10-62 mission on a Falcon 9 from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, deploying 29 Starlink satellites. This was SpaceX's 37th launch of 2026. The mission used booster B1078 on its 27th flight — a highly flight-proven vehicle previously used for NASA's Crew-6, USSF-124, and 21 Starlink batches. B1078 landed on drone ship 'A Shortfall of Gravitas' in the Atlantic Ocean, marking the 148th landing on that vessel and SpaceX's 590th booster recovery overall.
