SpaceX Starlink 10-54

Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Fl. ~

With sporadic ominously dark clouds descending on the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, SpaceX decided to have 2 special events for Friday June, 12.

The long awaited IPO for SpaceX stock is set to occur, and the second event a bit more routine. Rumbling away from SLC # 40, SpaceX ignited the 9 Merlin engines on the Falcon 9 First Stage Core (B1080) which carried its payload of 29 StarLink v2-mini communications satellites in a NE trajectory.

 With the return of the first stage core (27th time) and successful landing SpaceX completed their 70th successful mission of 2026.
