Two Falcon 9 Starlink Launches in One Day — Cape Canaveral and Vandenberg

SpaceX flew two Falcon 9 Starlink missions on August 11, 2026, as part of a rare stretch of three West Coast launches in seven days. The Starlink 10-19 mission — delayed a day by a Monday morning scrub — lifted off from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral at 11:58:26 a.m. EDT, with booster B1085 flying for the 18th time and landing on the droneship 'A Shortfall of Gravitas' in the Atlantic. Later that night, the Starlink 17-49 mission launched from SLC-4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base at 9:46 p.m. PDT (0446 UTC Aug 12), deploying 24 Starlink satellites with booster B1103 flying for the fifth time and landing on 'Of Course I Still Love You' in the Pacific. Starlink 17-49 was the 73rd Starlink mission of the year from Vandenberg.
