Thursday's launch was SpaceX's 49th Falcon 9 mission of 2025. SpaceX has another launch coming up later tonight. The Starlink 12-10 mission will liftoff out of Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, and is scheduled for 10:31 p.m. EDT (0231 GMT, April 29).

SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket carrying 23 Starlink satellites into orbit. The mission included satellites with direct-to-cell capabilities for global internet service. The booster completed its 20th flight and landed safely on a droneship in the Atlantic.
