SpaceX launched 24 Starlink satellites on Saturday, July 25, in another mission to expand its growing internet constellation in orbit. Liftoff took place at 11:51 a.m. ET, marking the company’s latest Starlink deployment.
The launch drew extra interest because it came in the wake of a Starship test flight, linking two of SpaceX’s most closely watched programs. While Starship remains the company’s big deep-space development effort, Starlink missions continue to provide a steady cadence of operational launches.
By sending 24 more satellites toward orbit, SpaceX added to the large network designed to deliver broadband service from space. The company has made Starlink launches a routine part of its schedule, but each flight still reflects the scale and speed of its ongoing deployment campaign.
The mission was also highlighted in video coverage, giving spaceflight followers another look at a busy period for SpaceX. With Starlink flights continuing alongside Starship testing, the company remains active on multiple fronts in orbital space operations.
