The most popular launch mission type has shifted from governmental launches to commercial communications, according to CBN’s new Satellite Launch Dashboard released this week. The trend picked up in 2019, when SpaceX began using its Falcon 9 launch vehicle for its Starlink constellation.
The interactive launch database organizes global launch activity since 1957 into multiple datasets, including:
- Launches by country;
- Total launches over time;
- Launch vehicle; and
- Mission type.
As of Aug. 13, SpaceX’s 79 orbital launches in 2024 constitute 53% of 149 orbital launches worldwide this year and 91.8% of U.S.-based launches. Of the 79 launches, 57 were for SpaceX’s Starlink constellation.
Industry leaders on the upcoming webinar will discuss the implications of this trend, other factors transforming the launch market and a look ahead at what to expect in 2025.
