SpaceX Targets 80th Starlink Mission of 2026 From Vandenberg, Reusing Falcon 9 Booster

SpaceX is set to launch the 80th Starlink mission of 2026 from Vandenberg on Sept. 5, using Falcon 9 booster B1088 for a 7:26 a.m. PDT liftoff and a landing on the drone ship Of Course I Still Love You; the mission also signals SpaceX’s shift of future Starlink launches from Florida to Starship, with Florida towers under construction and an orbital flight planned later this year after static-fire tests of Ship 41 and Booster 21.
