During the first five months of the year, 46 orbital rockets lifted off from Florida’s Space Coast. In terms of cadence, that sum clocked in more than two weeks earlier than last year’s unprecedented pace that set a new record of 93 annual launches.
Space Force officials now project this year’s final total may reach 107 launches from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center and neighboring Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Will a new record materialize? Stay tuned.
The June launch schedule features a variety of SpaceX Starlink missions, the SpaceX-Axiom Space Ax-4 crewed launch and United Launch Alliance’s second Project Kuiper liftoff for Amazon.
Up ahead in the near future: NASA’s SpaceX Crew-11 mission, ULA’s USSF-106 national security mission and Blue Origin’s next New Glenn rocket liftoff.
Following are the latest missions coming up from the Cape. All launches are listed in Eastern Standard Time. But be aware: Dates and times routinely change for a wide variety of reasons.
