By the end of 2023, SpaceX had conducted a total of 94 rocket launches, including 63 launches to put Starlink satellites into orbit.
SpaceX's goal in 2024 is to conduct 144 launches, surpassing the record set in 2023.
SpaceX’s ambitious plan is to rapidly deploy its Starlink satellite internet network. The pace of Starlink development is expected to accelerate this year, reflecting changes in the low-Earth orbit (LEO) internet market. SpaceX is taking full advantage of its rivals thanks to its ownership of reusable Falcon 9 rockets.
However, SpaceX's direct competitors in this field are growing. Amazon's Kuiper subsidiary and billionaire Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin are both planning to launch similar rocket and internet products.
Notably, Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket is designed with a reusable first stage and increased payload with a larger rocket engine.
SpaceX has already launched two since the start of 2024. To reach its goal of 144 launches per year, SpaceX will need to average about three launches per week.
