SpaceX hits rocket reuse milestone with 100th Falcon 9 flight of 2026

SpaceX is slated to launch a Falcon 9 from Cape Canaveral carrying 29 Starlink satellites in what will be the 100th Falcon 9 flight of 2026 and the booster B1067’s 37th mission; the first stage is expected to land on a drone ship about 8.5 minutes after liftoff and the upper stage will deploy the satellites roughly 61.5 minutes later, underscoring SpaceX’s ongoing focus on rapid reuse as the Starlink constellation expands beyond 11,000 satellites and Starship’s orbital test is anticipated later this year.
