Musk’s SpaceX targeting to launch 52 missions this year, says report

SpaceX, the private rocket company owned by Elon Musk, plans to launch 52 missions in 2022, NASA security team has revealed.

The private company is targeting an “ambitious 52-launch list” in 2022, according to CNBC at a meeting of NASA’s main agency oversight committee panelist Sandra Magnus.

“NASA and SpaceX must be vigilant in 2022 lest they fall victim to success,” Magnus said at the conference.

“Over the course of the year, SpaceX has an ambitious list of 52 launches. That’s an incredible pace.”

SpaceX successfully completed 31 launches in 2021, breaking its 2020 record of 26.

Musk said the company was trying to achieve 48 launches in 2021, but only hit 31.

Additionally, 1,469 Starlink satellites are currently active, 272 of which are currently in operational orbit.

In July 2021, Musk said that laser links in orbit could reduce long-distance latency by as much as 50 percent due to the higher speed of light in a vacuum and shorter paths than undersea fiber optics.

A recent report said SpaceX’s satellite internet division now has more than 1,45,000 users in 25 countries around the world.

Since the service began in October 2020, SpaceX has added about 11,000 monthly users through November 2021.
