The company’s November schedule includes a mix of defense contracts, additional broadband satellites and a tentative flight of its next‑generation Starship vehicle.
SpaceX has announced a packed November launch calendar, featuring seven missions that blend national security contracts, a wave of Starlink broadband satellites, and a tentative test flight of its next‑generation Starship vehicle.
November launch lineup overview
The schedule spans the entire month, with launches slated from both Cape Canaveral and Vandenberg. While most dates are firm, the Starship test remains tentative, pending regulatory clearance and vehicle readiness.
Defense and military payloads
Three of the seven missions are dedicated to U.S. defense customers, carrying classified payloads for the Space Force. These launches underscore SpaceX’s growing role as a reliable provider of rapid, responsive access to orbit for national security missions.
Starlink broadband expansion
Five launches will deploy additional Starlink satellites, boosting the constellation’s capacity and coverage, especially over underserved regions.
- Starlink v2‑1 batch 1 (12 satellites)
- Starlink v2‑1 batch 2 (12 satellites)
- Starlink v2‑2 batch (24 satellites)
- Starlink v2‑3 batch (24 satellites)
- Starlink v2‑4 batch (24 satellites)
Potential Starship test flight
A tentative slot on November 28 could see the first orbital flight of the fully reusable Starship, marking a milestone for deep‑space missions and lunar transport. The mission’s status will be confirmed closer to the date.
We are excited to continue delivering critical capabilities for our partners while advancing our vision for a multiplanetary future, a SpaceX spokesperson said.
