SpaceX Launches 24 V2 Mini Satellites in First Starlink Mission of 2025 at 3:43 p.m. EST
Jan 6, 2025, 09:20 PM
SpaceX successfully launched its first Starlink mission of 2025 on January 6, deploying 24 V2 Mini satellites into low Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The launch, which was the second Falcon 9 mission of the year, took place at 3:43 p.m. EST amidst challenging weather conditions, including strong winds due to an approaching cold front. The first stage booster, B1077, completed its 17th flight and landed on the 'Just Read the Instructions' droneship in the Atlantic Ocean. This mission marks the continuation of SpaceX's efforts to expand its Starlink megaconstellation, which now includes over 6,895 satellites in orbit, with 2,822 being the V2 Mini variety.
