SpaceX Launches Starlink 6-75 Mission

SpaceX launched 28 Starlink satellites. The launch happened on May 1, 2025. A Falcon 9 rocket lifted off at 9:51 p.m. EDT. It rose from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The mission, Starlink 6-75, expands global internet coverage.

Launch Details

The rocket’s nine Merlin engines fired. They shut down after 150 seconds. The first stage separated. Booster B1080 performed a retrograde burn. It landed on a drone ship. The landing was eight minutes after liftoff. This was B1080’s 18th flight. Twelve were for Starlink missions.

Satellite Deployment

The second stage reached orbit. It released 28 satellites one hour later. The satellites will drift to their slots. They join over 7,200 Starlink satellites. The constellation provides high-speed internet. User terminals connect to the network.

Mission Significance

This was SpaceX’s 51st Starlink launch in 2025. It was the 34th Falcon 9 launch this year. The mission supports SpaceX’s global broadband goal. The network covers most of the world. Polar regions are excluded.

SpaceX’s Broader Achievements

SpaceX conducted two Starship tests in 2025. These affirm its lead in commercial spaceflight. The company dominates rocket reuse. It drives low Earth orbit communication. Starlink’s growth shows SpaceX’s ambition.

Future Impact

Each launch nears SpaceX’s internet-for-all vision. The constellation ensures constant connectivity. New milestones in spaceflight are within reach. SpaceX continues to innovate.

The Starlink 6-75 mission succeeded. It strengthens global internet access. SpaceX’s pace remains unmatched.
