SpaceX just knocked out 2 big countries Russia & China in launching into space for 1st half of 2022!
Building a rocket is hard, launching a rocket is harder!!!
But there have never been more rockets launching into orbit than this year!
The world’s launch operators, led by SpaceX, launched 72 missions into orbit in the first half of 2022, on pace to break last year’s record of 135 orbital deliveries.
There were 15 launches to add spacecraft to SpaceX’s Starlink internet network, three crew missions to the International Space Station and an astronaut launch to China’s space station, and missions to deploy satellites for the U.S., Chinese, and Russian military.
The launch cadence in the first half of the year averaged one mission every two-and-a-half days, driven primarily by the rapid-fire launch rate by SpaceX and China.
Here are some statistics for orbital launches from Jan. 1 through June 30:
37 launches by U.S. rockets
27 by SpaceX
4 by Rocket Lab
3 by United Launch Alliance
1 by Astra
1 by Northrop Grumman
1 by Virgin Orbit
21 launches by Chinese rockets
9 launches by Russian rockets
2 launches by Indian rockets
1 launch by a European rocket
1 launch by an Iranian rocket
1 launch by a South Korean rocket
As you can see, with an outstanding number of launches (up to 27 flights), SpaceX, a US private space company, completely knocked out 2 big countries Russia & China in launching into space for the 1st half of 2022!
In February, shortly after a NASA oversight panelist revealed that SpaceX was targeting 52 launches in 2022, CEO Elon Musk confirmed that the company’s goal was for “Falcon [to] launch about once a week” throughout the year.
More importantly, SpaceX has also managed to sustain an average cadence of more than one Falcon launch per week throughout the first half of 2022, completing its 26th launch of the year on June 19th with another two launches planned before the end of the month.
SpaceX has successfully completed three Falcon 9 launches in just over 36 hours, highlighting the company’s continuous push towards ever-higher launch cadences in 2022.
The company’s latest hat-trick or triple-header began on Friday, June 17th, when Falcon 9 booster B1060 lifted off at 12:09 pm EDT from SpaceX’s NASA Kennedy Space Center LC-39A pad, helped carry another 53 Starlink V1.5 satellites into space, and became the first Falcon booster to launch and land 13 times. Starlink 4-19 was also SpaceX’s 49th dedicated Starlink launch, SpaceX’s 50th consecutively successful Falcon booster landing, and 100th successful Falcon booster reuse.
