SpaceX successfully launched the KF-02 mission on August 11, 2025, from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, deploying 24 of Amazon's Project Kuiper satellites into low-Earth orbit. This launch marked SpaceX's 100th flight of the year and was achieved after four previous attempts were scrubbed due to unfavorable weather conditions and technical issues. The Falcon 9 rocket used for the mission was booster B1091-1, making its first flight. The launch window on August 11 opened at 8:35 a.m. EDT (1235 UTC), with liftoff occurring at that time. The mission is part of Amazon's effort to build its Kuiper satellite internet constellation, which competes with Elon Musk's Starlink network. Prior to this, SpaceX had planned the launch for August 7 but faced multiple delays, including weather challenges and additional vehicle checkouts. The successful deployment of these satellites advances Amazon's ambitions in the satellite internet market. Separately, SpaceX's Starship Flight 10 is scheduled for a static fire test on August 11 at the Starbase launch complex, with a planned launch no earlier than August 16, 2025. Additionally, United Launch Alliance is preparing to launch the Vulcan rocket carrying the USSF-106 mission for the U.S. Space Force, with rollout to the pad scheduled for August 11 and a targeted launch date of August 12, 2025.
