SpaceX Ties Record with 72 Space Coast Launches in 2024

The latest Falcon 9 launch marks a significant milestone, matching the previous year's total with more launches expected before year-end.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 successfully launched 23 Starlink satellites from Cape Canaveral, marking the 72nd Space Coast launch of the year.
This achievement matches the record set in 2023, with SpaceX responsible for the majority of this year's launches.
The first-stage booster used in this mission completed its 18th flight, landing on the droneship A Shortfall of Gravitas in the Atlantic Ocean.
SpaceX aims to exceed this record with additional launches planned in the coming months, potentially reaching over 100 launches by year-end.
The company's overall launch count for 2024, including operations from California and Texas, has reached 101.
