SpaceX launches return to flight Falcon 9 mission following brief stand down
February 7, 2026 Will Robinson-Smith

(...) Nearly 8.5 minutes after liftoff, B1088 landed on the drone ship, ‘Of Course I Still Love You,’ positioned in the Pacific Ocean. This was the 176th landing on this vessel and the 568th booster landing for SpaceX to date. (...)

SpaceX also updated its launch page for the Starlink 17-32 mission to provide additional details about the anomaly.

“During launch, the second stage experienced an off-nominal condition caused by a failed ignition due to a gas bubble in the transfer tube ahead of the planned deorbit burn,” SpaceX wrote. “The vehicle then performed as designed to successfully passivate the stage, which reentered Earth’s atmosphere approximately 10.5 hours later over the Southern Indian Ocean. No reports have been received of debris sightings or third-party damage.” (...)

The company went on to describe the importance of performing deorbit burns on its upper stages when possible. Across 2024 and 2025 it said 16 upper stages were left passivated in space and six have since reentered into the atmosphere.

“The remaining 10 second stages on-orbit had no deorbit planned per the approved mission profiles and are continuously tracked, allowing satellites with maneuvering capabilities to adjust accordingly,” SpaceX wrote. “This deorbit reduction effort requires novel methods in order to perform deorbit burns on missions that would not otherwise have the performance to, such as missions to Geostationary Transfer Orbit.

“These tests provide critical data and insights, continuously improving the reliability of Falcon and protecting public safety across all missions.”

Lynch designed GNEISS to do exactly that. With two rockets and a network of ground receivers, GNEISS will create a three-dimensional view of the electrical environment of an aurora.

“It’s essentially like doing a CT scan of the plasma beneath the aurora,” Lynch said.

The GNEISS mission launches its two rockets at the same time, flying side by side through the same aurora along different “slices.” Once inside, each rocket will eject four subpayloads. These subpayloads measure distinct locations inside the aurora.

As the rockets fly overhead, they send radio signals through the surrounding plasma to receivers on the ground. The plasma alters those radio waves en route, in the same way different body tissues alter the beams from a CT scan. The GNEISS team uses these radio signals infer plasma density, which reveals where electricity can flow. It’s a large-scale auroral CT scan.

Figuring out how auroral currents work isn’t only about filling in a missing piece of physics. Those currents shape how energy from space spreads through Earth’s upper atmosphere. Where the current fans out, the atmosphere heats up. Winds stir, and satellites plow through unexpectedly turbulent air.

February 15, 2026 Will Robinson-Smith

SpaceX kicked off the President’s Day holiday in the United States with a Falcon 9 rocket launch from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, overcoming some challenging weather conditions.

The Starlink 6-103 mission added 29 broadband internet satellites to the company’s low Earth orbit megaconstellation of more than 9,600 spacecraft. This was SpaceX’s 14 Starlink launch of the year so far. The company confirmed a successful deployment of the satellites about an hour after launch. (...)

SpaceX launched the mission using the Falcon 9 first stage booster with the tail number 1090. This was its 10th flight after launching previous missions, like NASA’s Crew-10, CRS-33 and Bandwagon-3.

Nearly 8.5 minutes after liftoff, B1090 landed on the drone ship, ‘A Shortfall of Gravitas,’ positioned in the Atlantic Ocean. This was the 142nd landing on this vessel and the 572nd booster landing to date. (...)

SpaceX launches second Falcon 9 rocket to return to a landing in The Bahamas
February 19, 2026 Will Robinson-Smith

(...) Less than 8.5 minutes after liftoff, B1077 landed on the drone ship, ‘Just Read the Instructions,’ situated off the coast of Exuma island in The Bahamas. This was the 150th landing on that vessel and the 573rd booster landing for SpaceX to date.

It was one year ago this week that SpaceX first landed a booster within the territorial waters of The Bahamas during the Starlink 10-12 mission on Feb. 18, 2025.

In the lead up to that flight, SpaceX announced it was planning to use that first mission as a stepping stone to enabling a crewed mission to a polar orbit, which it eventually did with the flight called Fram2.

However, Fram2 did not feature a booster landing adjacent to The Bahamas. Reportedly, there was environmental concern on the part of the government of The Bahamas following the in-flight break-ups of SpaceX’s Starship rocket during Flight 7 and Flight 8 in 2025.

The two entities have since come to an understanding in the intervening time, paving the way for this second booster landing near the island nation.
