SpaceX launched its latest batch of Starlink V2 Mini satellites from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on Friday.

The Starlink 17-6 mission will add another 24 satellites to the low Earth orbit constellation. With the successful completion of this mission, SpaceX will have launched more than 1,800 of its Starlink satellites in 2025 alone. In a social media post, SpaceX confirmed deployment of the satellites a little over an hour after launch.

Liftoff from Space Launch Complex 4 East occurred at 10:04 a.m. PDT (1:04 p.m. EDT / 1704 UTC). It will be the 27th Starlink launch from Vandenberg this year.

SpaceX used the Falcon 9 first stage booster tail number B1081 to launch this mission, its 17th flight. Its previous launches included NASA’s PACE, NASA’s TRACERS, and Crew-7.

Nearly 8.5 minutes after liftoff, B1081 landed on the droneship, ‘Of Course I Still Love You.’ This was the 146th booster landing on that vessel and the 491st booster landing to date.
