Record 38.5-Minute Turnaround Between Two Falcon 9 Launches; 650th Booster Landing

SpaceX launched two Falcon 9 rockets from opposite U.S. coasts just 38 minutes and 31 seconds apart on August 15, 2026, shattering its previous dual-launch turnaround record of 65 minutes (set August 2024). The Globalstar 2-R replenishment mission lifted off from Cape Canaveral SFS, followed by the classified USSF-366 mission from Vandenberg SFB, whose booster B1088 landing marked the 650th successful Falcon booster landing in company history — SpaceX's 96th Falcon-family launch of 2026.
