Vandenberg sets 2026 launch record as Falcon 9 cadence continues

The October 26 Starlink flight deployed 27 satellites and raised California’s annual launch total to a record 72; it was Falcon 9’s 117th launch of 2026, with booster B1082 landing after its 26th flight. Further Vandenberg Starlink and USSF-432 missions are listed for October 29, November 1, and November 4, but remain scheduled rather than completed.
