JAKARTA - SpaceX, Elon Musk's space transportation company, continues to launch rockets every week. Their rocket launches are always broadcast live via platform X, formerly Twitter.

So far SpaceX has launched 70 rockets throughout 2023. The majority of launches used Falcon 9 with 66 launches. Quoted from Space Explored, SpaceX has launched three Falcon Heavies and one Starship.

SpaceX has three more months to achieve their target, namely launching 100 rockets in 2023. With 70 launches, SpaceX has only succeeded in achieving 70 percent of the main target.

The target of 100 rockets a year can be achieved if SpaceX launches every three or four days. In fact, it should be under four days.

Meanwhile, the majority of launches were carried out for the Starlink project, namely the creation of a satellite constellation to provide an internet communications system with excellent performance.

Of the 70 launches recorded, only 27 launches were not related to the Starlink project. All of these launches were recorded as successful and there were no failures.

In the data attached by Space Explored, SpaceX always launches every month. They launched at least 6 times and at most 10 times.

The company last launched on September 29 with 22 Saterlink satellites launched into low-Earth orbit from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
