SpaceX's Major Launches and Milestones in December 2025

In December 2025, SpaceX achieved significant milestones with multiple rocket launches from Florida and California. On December 11, SpaceX launched its 300th orbital mission of the year, deploying 29 Starlink satellites via Falcon 9 from Cape Canaveral, marking the 161st Falcon 9 flight of 2025. The Starlink constellation now exceeds 10,000 satellites, providing global internet coverage. The same day, SpaceX completed its 550th booster landing with a Falcon 9 at Vandenberg Space Force Station, successfully landing booster B1093 on the drone ship 'Of Course I Still Love You' after launching the Starlink 15-12 mission, which added 27 satellites to the network. This mission was part of a record-breaking year with 161 Falcon 9 launches, surpassing previous records. Additionally, a triple-launch sequence is scheduled on December 14-15 from Florida, involving SpaceX and ULA. The sequence includes a Falcon 9 Starlink launch from Cape Canaveral, an Atlas V launch of Amazon Leo satellites from Space Force Station, and another Falcon 9 Starlink mission from Kennedy Space Center, all within approximately 14 hours, further emphasizing the rapid growth of space activity on Florida’s Space Coast. Upcoming missions include a Crew Dragon launch possibly in early March, pending successful testing, and another Starlink deployment scheduled for December 19. These launches reflect the increasing demand driven by the proliferation of satellite constellations for commercial communication, internet access, and space exploration efforts.
