After a brief grounding earlier this month following the Starlink Group 17-32 second stage deorbit anomaly, SpaceX’s Falcon 9 returns to a regular cadence of flights with three Starlink missions this week. However, SpaceX is not the only U.S. launch provider flying this week, as Firefly Space is returning its Alpha to flight following the failed “Message In A Booster” mission in April 2025.
This week’s flights are scheduled from California and Florida, with Vandenberg Space Force Base (VSFB) in California hosting Starlink and Firefly launches. Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS) in Florida will host Falcon 9 Starlink launches while Launch Complex 39A at the nearby Kennedy Space Center has had its crew access arm removed and is being prepared for Starship launches later this year.
