SpaceX Reallocates Starlink Flights to Starship, Plans Mega Louisiana Launch Hub

SpaceX will end Starlink-related Falcon 9 flights from Florida to prioritize Starship, with future Starlink missions from Florida moving to Starship while other Falcon 9 payloads (including some Starlink missions) switch to Vandenberg. The company also plans a heavy-lift Starbase Louisiana to support thousands of Starship flights annually starting around 2029, including deployment of some V3 satellites on the next Starship test flight, as it shifts resources from Falcon 9 to Starship amid questions about near-term launch availability.
