SpaceX Planning To Launch Up To 52 Missions in 2022
Elon Musk’s SpaceX broke its own annual orbital launch record last year, and it’s looking to pick up the blistering pace further in 2022 to an average rate of one per week.
According to CNBC, during a meeting of a key NASA agency oversight committee panel member Sandra Magnus said that the private company is targeting "an ambitious 52 launch manifest" for 2022. "NASA and SpaceX will have to be watchful during 2022 that they're not victims of their success," Magnus said during the meeting. "There's an ambitious 52-launch manifest for SpaceX over the course of the year. And that's an incredible pace." SpaceX successfully completed 31 launches in 2021, which beat its previous record of 26 in 2020. The company launches these satellites every couple of weeks in 50 to 60 vehicle batches. Musk said the company was striving to hit 48 launches in 2021 but only made it to 31. In addition, there are now 1,469 Starlink satellites active, with 272 moving to operational orbits currently. In July 2021, Musk said that laser links in orbit can reduce long-distance latency by as much as 50 per cent, due to the higher speed of light in vacuum and shorter path than undersea fiber.
