Update, August 19, 2026: This December flight is the 3,000th Starlink satellite launched in calendar 2025, not the 3,000th Starlink ever (the constellation was already many thousands) and not 3,000 Falcon launches. Tesery’s customer-count sibling that month is Starlink passed 9 million active customers.
On December 8, 2025 SpaceX flew Starlink 6-92: Falcon 9 booster B1067 on its 32nd flight, deploying 29 Starlink satellites from Kennedy Space Center’s LC-39A. Spaceflight Now billed it as carrying the 3,000th Starlink satellite of 2025 on a record reuse of that booster. Kennedy’s own visitor-complex page listed the 6-92 mission. A year’s 3,000th bird is a launch-cadence stat. It is not a new internet product, and it is not the IPO.
Key facts
- Mission: Starlink 6-92, Dec. 8, 2025 (Tesery filed Dec. 9).
- Booster: B1067, flight 32 — a reuse record at the time, per Spaceflight Now.
- Payload: 29 Starlink satellites; the stack included 2025’s 3,000th Starlink spacecraft.
- What this is not: The 3,000th Falcon 9 in history, or proof of 12,000 satellites already on orbit.
A yearly bird count vs the constellation
Starlink’s commercial story that month is users (9 million) and the IPO tape. This file is hardware leaving 39A. Do not quote an unnamed “SpaceX spokesperson” about team spirit — Spaceflight Now and the KSC listing are the citations.
FAQ
Did SpaceX only have 3,000 Starlinks total?
No. This is the 3,000th launched in 2025.
Was this SLC-40’s 350th flight?
The 6-92 visitor page and contemporaneous coverage put the stack on LC-39A. Don’t keep an SLC-40 pad count unless SpaceX posted that number for this mission.
Does this change Starlink on a Tesla?
No. In-car Starlink is a different (still un-shipped) patent story.
For readers: a 32nd booster flight is reuse. It does not put satellite internet in your Model Y.
