Questions
When is the next Starlink launch?
No Starlink launch had a firm date at the last update.
How often does SpaceX launch Starlink?
In the last 78 days of launch records we hold there were 13 Starlink launches (10 from California, 2 from Florida, 1 from Texas).
Can I see the Starlink satellites after the launch?
Yes, for about a week: freshly launched satellites fly in a line (the Starlink train) and are bright while they are low. Our city pages add a new batch as soon as CelesTrak publishes orbit data for it.
What do the group names mean?
SpaceX names Starlink launches by shell and sequence, for example 'Group 15-27'. The COSPAR ID (like 2026-219) is the international designator of the launch, used in orbit catalogues.
