SpaceX Launches Starlink Mission, Landing in Bahamas for 2nd Time

Starlink 10-38 launched at 8:41:40 pm EST from SLC-40 on Feb 19th 2026. B1077 performed flawlessly on its 26th flight, landing on the drone ship ‘Just Read the Instructions,’ off the coast of the Bahamas. This was the 150th landing on that vessel and the 573rd booster landing to date, and the 2nd landing in the Bahamas for SpaceX, not counting the two Starships that broke up close to the Island nation in 2025. These events prompted the government there to place a hold on SpaceX activities until after they investigated the incidents. SpaceX and the Bohemian government apparently came to a resolution and allowed landings to proceed once again. The Launch Heaven Team was there to capture the mission at liftoff.
