A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched the Starfall Demo mission to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 6:53 a.m. on 23 June 2026. Following stage separation, Falcon 9's first stage landed on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

Starfall is a SpaceX spacecraft with reentry capabilities for customers who want to launch and retrieve their mission materials from orbit.

This is the 29th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Crew-6, SES O3b mPOWER-B, USSF-124, BlueBird 1-5, Nusantara Lima (PSN N5), and 23 Starlink missions.
