The launch of Sunday Morning Falcon 9 of SpaceX will send 1,900th Starlink to Orbit in 2025 – SpaceFlight Now
Update of August 30, 7:56 p.m. EDT: SpaceX pushed take-off time T-0.
SpaceX ends the month of August with a Starlink Sunday Morning Sunrise mission. It will be the ninth time that the company will launch its high-speed Internet satellites this month only.
All things considered in 2025, after the deployment of the 28 satellites of the Starlink 10-14 mission, SpaceX will have deployed more than 1,900 of its mini-satellites Starlink V2 in low land orbit in the 77 launches Falcon 9.
Its latest flight is planned to win the Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Space Force Cape Canaveral station at 7:49 a.m. HAE (1149 UTC). It will fly on a northeast trajectory from the Florida space coast.
SpaceFlight will now have a live blanket starting about an hour before takeoff.

On Saturday, the 45th Meteorological Squadron predicted a sliding scale for the launching weather forecasts. Meteorologists provide a chance of 90% time favorable to the opening of the window, but things deteriorate at 65% chance of making a good perspective over time.
The launching weather agents cite potential concerns for cumulus clouds and Anvil clouds due to “isolated offshore showers … at the start of the window”.
“A small flow scheme west continues on the state and will persist throughout the weekend, because a weak surface border during the northern parts of the peninsula is gradually southern,” wrote meteorologists. “The remaining humidity levels, very high, showers and thunderstorms should develop quickly with diurnal heating every day, then go up slowly to the east coast during the afternoon and evening before decreasing at night.”
SpaceX will launch the Starlink 10-14 mission using the Falcon 9 First Stage Booster 1077, which will make its 23rd trip to the space and the rear. Some of its previous missions include CREW-5 from NASA, the GPS III 06 and NG-20 space vehicle.
Almost 8.5 minutes after takeoff, the first step will target an landing on the drone ship, “it has just read the instructions”, which will be positioned in the Atlantic Ocean off the coasts of Southern Carolina.
A successful recall recovery would be the 134th of this drone ship and the 497th Booster Landing for SpaceX to date.
Wednesday, August 27, SpaceX announced that its Large Starlink Internet service had reached a threshold of 7 million customers in around 150 countries, territories and smaller markets. It is a growth of 3 million customers since September 2024.
- August 2025 – 7 million customers / 150 + countries, territories and small markets
- June 2025 – 6 million customers / 140 + countries, territories and small markets
- February 2025 – 5 million customers / 125 + countries, territories and small markets
- September 2024 – 4 million customers / 100 + countries, territories and small markets
- May 2024 – 3 million customers / 99 + countries, territories and small markets
- September 2023 – 2 million customers / 60 + country and small markets
- December 2022 – 1 million customers
During the prior coverage of Starship Flight 10, SpaceX declared in a pre-produced video that around two thirds of all operational orbit satellites are star links. Cornelia Rosu, senior director of Starlink production, said in the video that SpaceX produces dozens of Starlink V2 Mini Weekly satellites in her facilities in Redmond, Washington.
“Generally, satellite manufacturing is a very slow process. It takes people for weeks or months to build a satellite,” said Rosu. “At SpaceX, we reduce very quickly and we learned to build satellites at a rate of 70 SAT per week.”
SpaceX plans to launch at least 170 Falcon 9 rockets in 2025, the majority of people supporting its Starlink constellation. The launch of Sunday will be the 108th of the year.
