A Falcon 9 rocket carried out another Starlink mission from Vandenberg Space Force Base on Sunday afternoon, bumping the total number of satellites launched from both coasts for the constellation in six years above 10,000 satellites.
The two-stage rocket built by SpaceX blasted off at the12:24 p.m. from Space Launch Complex-4.
"From Tintin to 10,000 -- Go Starlink, go Falcon, go SpaceX," the firm's launch commentator said at liftoff.
About eight minutes later the rocket's first-stage booster successfully landed on the droneship stationed in the Pacific Ocean.
Deployment of the satellites reportedly occurred about an hour after liftoff.
"SpaceX has now launched more than 10,000 Starlink satellites to date, enabling reliable high-speed internet for millions of people all around the world," Starlink representatives said on social media.
The West Coast launch was the second of the day for SpaceX with 28 Starlink satellites delivered via another Falcon 9 rocket mission from Florida a couple of hours earlier.
"Falcon 9 completes a double-header launch day, taking 56 @Starlink satellites to orbit from Florida and California," SpaceX confirmed on social media.
The number of Starlink satellites still orbiting Earth is smaller due to failures and retirements of older or faulty spacecraft.
The launch also marked the 55th Vandenberg rocket and missile liftoff of 2025 with 50 of those being Falcon flights.
Sunday's launch also kicked off a possible trio of missions from Vandenberg this week.
Another Falcon 9 rocket launch is scheduled for between 7 a.m. and 11 a.m. Wednesday.
The week's third West Coast liftoff could occur Saturday if weather and other factors don't interfere with the plans.
