Just in time for Halloween in the eastern United States, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched 27 Starlink satellites from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on Oct. 31, 2026, at 12:04 a.m. EDT (9:04 p.m. PDT – Oct. 30).
The mission marked SpaceX's 118th Falcon 9 launch of the year, with the rocket's first-stage booster completing another successful landing aboard the droneship Of Course I Still Love You in the Pacific Ocean.
