SpaceX Flies Last Falcon 9 Starlink Launch From Florida

| SpaceX

SpaceX launched the Starlink 10-49 mission from Cape Canaveral's SLC-40 on August 25, 2026, deploying 29 satellites on booster B1067's record-setting 37th flight. VP of Launch Kiko Dontchev confirmed it was the last planned Falcon 9 Starlink launch from Florida: roughly 260 Starlink missions have flown from Cape Canaveral since the first on May 23, 2019, but Florida Starlink deployment now shifts to Starship, cutting the Space Coast's monthly Falcon 9 cadence from eight or nine flights to about two. Vandenberg Space Force Base absorbs the bulk of the constellation's remaining 2026 build-out.
