Talk about the preparations for Elon Musk’s commercial space company SpaceX, then it is planned to launch 52 missions this year. If SpaceX is successful in this, it will complete the most launches in a year. SpaceX is also in the role of partner for the US space agency NASA, especially for NASA’s Human Spaceflight Program. It has the responsibility of transporting astronauts and cargo to and from the International Space Station (ISS). SpaceX is also developing the Next Generation Rocket System to land astronauts on the Moon under NASA’s Artemis program. This rocket has been named Starship.
SpaceX mainly helps NASA’s programs, as well as this company from time to time launches satellites for other companies, international customers and the US Department of Defense. Although 52 launches are planned this year, most of them will be done for SpaceX. It is believed that these launches will be for Starlink’s satellite. Starlink is also a part of SpaceX. It is working on bringing satellite internet to the world. The Starlink project would require SpaceX to launch thousands of small satellites into low-Earth orbit. SpaceX is regularly launching them in batches of 50-60 satellites.
