With this morning’s launch, SpaceX has tied its record of achieving 61 launches set in 2022. On average, that implies a launch every 4 days. While the first stage and fairings are reused, this cadence needs to be supported by ramping up production , test and qualification of second stage with a rate of less than 4 days. It is amazing to reflect on how far we’ve come and where we are going next. #spacex #rockets #aerospace

#ElonMusk's #SpaceX is known for its frequent launches, which now dominate the space industry. #Starlink is #SpaceX's answer to providing global high-speed Internet coverage using a network of thousands of satellites orbiting the planet in a region known as #LowEarthOrbit (LEO), about 342 miles above the Earth's surface. The service has also become indispensable in areas affected by natural disasters and, more recently, during times of conflict, particularly in the war between #Russia and #Ukraine. The question we all ask ourselves is when the #IPO will come out. Investor Ron Baron said in an interview with #CNBC that he expects #SpaceX to make an initial public offering of its #Starlink satellite internet service “in approximately 2027.” "We believe that by the time they go public the company will be worth between 250,000 and 300,000 MUS$. "According to #Bloomberg, #Musk would be preparing a sale of privileged shares, which values the commercial rocket company, at 2024 prices, around 180,000 MUS$, culminating a year in which the company has carried out multiple launches crewed for #NASA while expanding the footprint of its #Starlink satellite Internet service. #SpaceX launched 98 rockets in 2023, ninety-one (91) #Falcon9, five (5) #FalconHeavies and two (2) #Starships, achieving 100% success in both launch and landing. https://lnkd.in/eggBnsuq

After the scrub this morning, the next attempt. SpaceX is targeting Monday, October 30 at 7:20 p.m. EDT, 23:20 UTC (00:20 CET October 31) for a Falcon 9 launch of 23 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Our Livestream on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/e5zxP9ra This is the eighth flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Crew-5, GPS III Space Vehicle 06, Inmarsat I6-F2, CRS-28, Intelsat G-37, and two Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Just Read the Instructions droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean. A note: Livestreams by SpaceX on X (Formerly known as Twitter) are sometimes not of excellent quality. If this is to be seen during a live stream, we will share the replay of the mission directly afterward on our live stream after the scheduled one. We want you to know that because of the constantly shifting lift-off times for the Starlink missions (launch windows are open for a minimum of 4 hours), we reserve the right to cancel the live stream (even at short notice). We are in CEST and can not stay awake all night because of a launch that is moved every half hour in time as usual in recent weeks. We are okay when a launch (besides Starlink) or another event is scheduled in time, even in the middle of the night in our timezone CEST. Out of this, it is TBD (To Be Determined). We will stream it if the TBD isn't given in the stream title; sometimes, we will change this when deciding to show it. Information: SpaceX deleted all their social media links besides "X" (formerly known as Twitter). They also decided not to stream anymore on YouTube. Instead, they will stream exclusively on "X". The quality of those streams on X isn't sometimes high-quality, so understand that if the stream is not of such a quality as before, we can't influence that. If we see a drop of quality during the live stream, we will show it directly in the stream as a live replay, which is mostly 100% better. We do the best that we can. Also, there will be no live comment by SpaceX for Starlink launches. You will hear mission control team communication.

Watch #SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch the Transporter 6 mission and land back in Florida in this booster cam video! SpaceX achieved a monumental milestone with the Transporter-6 rideshare mission, launching 114 satellites into orbit aboard the Falcon 9 rocket. This marks SpaceX's 200th orbital flight since its inception and showcases the 15th successful mission for the Falcon 9's first stage, setting a reuse record. The onboard footage of the Falcon 9's journey, offers a glimpse into the rocket's mesmerizing ascent and precise descent. This launch not only demonstrates SpaceX's commitment to innovation but also heralds a new era of space exploration. With ambitions soaring sky-high, including Elon Musk's vision of up to 100 flights in a year, SpaceX continues to push the boundaries of possibility. The advanced technology, from orientation-shifting thrusters to hypersonic grid fins, underscores SpaceX's relentless pursuit of excellence. #SpaceX #Transporter6 #SpaceExploration #Innovation #Milestone #FutureForward

SpaceX's Falcon 9 experienced a problem with its second stage on a Starlink launch on July 11, grounding the rocket until an investigation is concluded. This has downstream affects for not only SpaceX's packed manifest, but also the wider space industry. Watch to learn more: https://lnkd.in/eJZTrgMV

SpaceX launched two rockets from Florida in the space of about four hours. The private space company set a launch frequency record in 2023 and it is on course to raise the bar even further in 2024. The first of the two launches took off at 5:52 pm EDT (2152 GMT) on Saturday, March 30. A Falcon 9 rocket sent the Eutelsat 36D telecommunications satellite to orbit from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. A short time later, at 9:30 pm EDT (0130 GMT), another Falcon 9 lifted 23 Starlink satellites from Cape Canaveral. The two rocket launches took off within a few hours of each other. SpaceX had also hoped to launch a third mission. Another Starlink mission was scheduled to launch at about 10:30 pm EDT from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. However, the weather wasn’t as accommodating on the West coast and SpaceX postponed the launch. The impressive launch schedule highlights SpaceX’s domination of the satellite launch market. In 2023, Elon Musk’s space company successfully launched 96 Falcon 9 missions, beating its record from the previous year. It hopes to launch 144 orbital missions this year. What’s more, SpaceX could also fly its Starship prototype up to nine times this year, if the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) gives it clearance. #SpaceX #Falcon9 #Launches

Chief Innovation Officer (CIO) / Head of Launch Sevices - Space-Tech LLC President / CTO Gravitec Inc.
It occurred to me that people have forgotten how things used to be not that long ago. Before SpaceX and the Falcon 9 system, the Satellite industry was mostly a GEO environment. This in turn created a very expensive and limited Satellite Market. Back then if you wanted to build a satellite, you would contract the work out to Boeing, Space System Loral, and a few smaller players. Back in those days (which was not that long ago) Ion Propulsion Systems were limited to Busik, Boeing, and a handful of others. Innovation back then was stifled by these large players. There was no way anyone would buy a new startup's technology or equipment. Everything had to be legacy and have decades of operational time before anyone would think of using it in one of their GEO or other satellites. It was such a different and horrible time in the space industry. I for one will give credit where credit is due. If it was not for Elon Musk and SpaceX we would still be back there with nothing but the most expensive limited access to space. It is because of what SpaceX has done that today's rich innovative New Space industry even exists. The new Vulcan Rocket would not exist if it was not for the market pressure that SpaceX placed on ULA to do something new. In conclusion, long live New Space.
