Live updates from June's Friday the 13th SpaceX Starlink 12-26 mission that launched a Falcon 9 from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

"Falcon completes its 500th overall mission! Congratulations to the entire SpaceX team for making the impossible possible on the road to rapidly reusable rockets!"

SpaceX states that its Falcon 9 rocket will send up Starlink 12-26 mission from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 11:21 a.m. ET. The launch window will open from 11:21 a.m. ET until 11:44 a.m. ET, meaning SpaceX has during that timeframe to launch its rocket.

Florida's 50th launch of 2025 had been planned to be a human spaceflight, but instead it ended up being another batch of Starlink satellites.

SpaceX has now launched 73 Falcon 9 missions in 2025, of which 55 have been in support of the Starlink service. Friday's mission followed a Starlink launch on Thursday evening from California, which marked the 500th overall Falcon flight.

Elon Musk has long dominated the internet-providing satellites business with regular SpaceX Starlink launches. Now, Jeff Bezos is looking to compete.

Amazon is preparing to launch its second batch of Project Kuiper internet satellites to orbit as it seeks to build out a constellation to take on SpaceX’s Starlink service.

June 10 morning's weather was nice enough on the Space Coast for one of two planned launches, but high winds at a potential abort site forced the human spaceflight plans of Axiom Space and SpaceX to push the Ax-4 mission from Kennedy Space Center to at least Wednesday.

SpaceX early Tuesday launched a Falcon 9 rocket loaded with a batch of Starlink satellites into space from the East Coast.

SpaceX plans to launch a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base on Monday evening. The launch is currently scheduled for 8:36 p.m. on June 16. A livestream of the launch is scheduled to start about five minutes before liftoff.
