SpaceX breaks pad turnaround record at Cape Canaveral with midday Starlink launch
Update 2:40 p.m. EST (1940 UTC): SpaceX confirmed deployment of the 29 Starlink satellites.
SpaceX’s launch of its Falcon 9 rocket Wednesday afternoon broke the turnaround record at its launchpad at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station by more than five hours.
The Starlink 6-98 mission lifted off at 1:08 p.m. EST (1808 UTC), just 45 hours after the launch of the Starlink 6-97 mission at 4:08 p.m. EST (2108 UTC) on Monday.
The previous record, set in December 2025, was 50 hours and 44 between the launches of NROL-77 and Starlink 6-90.
“The rocket was actually ready to fly at roughly 40 hours, but we needed to wait for the optimal deployment t-zero. Love seeing us continue to improve on our speed, efficiency, safety and reliability!” said Kiko Dontchev, SpaceX Vice President of Launch, wrote on social media after the Starlink 6-90 launch. “We once thought it was crazy town to launch from the same pad in two days. Now it feels crazy not to be launching from the same pad multiple times a day. Physics is the only constraint. Everything else is just an engineering challenge waiting to be solved.”
