SpaceX launches 25 Starlink satellites on Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base
March 13, 2026 Will Robinson-Smith

(...) This was the company’s 25th mission supporting its low Earth orbit constellation so far this year. (...)

A little less than 8.5 minutes after liftoff, B1071 landed on the drone ship, ‘Of Course I Still Love You,’ positioned in the Pacific Ocean. This was the 183rd landing on this vessel and the 584th booster landing for SpaceX.

Satellite deployment happened a little more than an hour after the launch, bringing SpaceX up to 674 Starlink satellites flown so far in 2026.
