Starlink 10-44: Booster B1067 Sets New World Record with 34th Flight

SpaceX launched the Starlink Group 10-44 mission at 5:15 p.m. EDT (21:15 UTC) from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, deploying 29 Starlink V2 Mini Optimized satellites to a 252 × 267 km orbit at 53.16-degree inclination. Booster B1067 flew for a record-breaking 34th time, surpassing all prior single-booster flight records and setting a new world record for orbital-class rocket reusability. B1067 first flew in June 2021 on CRS-22 and has since flown on Crew-3, Crew-4, CRS-25, Turksat 5B, Galileo L13, Koreasat-6A, and 23 Starlink batches. The booster successfully landed on drone ship 'Just Read the Instructions' approximately 8.5 minutes after liftoff. This was SpaceX's 40th launch of 2026 — the last of March — and set a record for the most launches in any single month in company history.
