SpaceX successfully launched Sirius SXM-11 on June 29, 2026, at 02:25 UTC from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The mission carried SiriusXM's 12th dedicated satellite, built by Lanteris Space (formerly Maxar and Space Systems/Loral) to expand the company's satellite radio broadcasting capabilities. The SXM-11 satellite is based on the proven IM-1300 platform and features a large, unfurlable mesh reflector measuring nearly 10 meters in diameter, enabling SiriusXM programming to reach receivers across North America, including mobile and vehicle-based radios.

The Falcon 9 Block 5 rocket lifted off from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, carrying the satellite to Geostationary Transfer Orbit. The night launch produced striking imagery as the rocket's exhaust illuminated against the moonlit sky, creating what observers described as an "absolutely beautiful" ascent to orbit.

The launch concluded successfully, marking another milestone in SpaceX's commercial satellite launch manifest and continued support for SiriusXM's orbital constellation. The SXM-11 satellite will operate from geostationary orbit, providing critical redundancy and expanded service capacity for the satellite radio operator's subscription-based broadcasting platform.
