After a launch scrub on Monday morning, SpaceX flew its Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station to deliver another batch of its Starlink V2 Mini Optimized satellites to low Earth orbit.
The Starlink 10-19 mission represented the 72nd flight of these broadband internet satellites out of a total of 93 Falcon 9 rockets in 2026.
Liftoff from Space Launch Complex 40 happened at 11:58:26 a.m. EDT (1558:26 UTC) on Tuesday, Aug. 11. The rocket flew on a northeasterly trajectory upon leaving the launch pad.
SpaceX launched this mission using the Falcon 9 first stage booster with the tail number B1085. This was its 18th flight with a flight history that includes NASA’s Crew-9, GPS III-7, and Fram2.
Nearly 8.5 minutes after liftoff, B1085 landed on the droneship, A Shortfall of Gravitas, positioned in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of South Carolina. This was the 163rd landing on this vessel and the 647th Falcon booster landing.
