 SpaceX is going to break the launch record again

SpaceX is going to set a new record by launching a rocket into space in 2022. In the first 130 days of the year, the company has already launched 16 rockets and landed two astronauts.

The rapid rise of SpaceX in rocket launches has been reported in the US media CNN.

The next launch of SpaceX will be on Friday afternoon. Starlink's 53 Internet satellites will be launched from the Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. This will be the twelfth launch of Starlink this year. In addition, SpaceX may launch another mission from Florida this weekend.

SpaceX is having a busy time this year, which will further the company's dominance in the commercial launch world.

The annual spaceflight led by SpaceX will surpass the global space launch of the second half of the twentieth century. At that time more rockets were launched by government initiative than by private sector.

According to data from research firm Quilty Analytics, a record 145 rockets were launched in 2021 in the history of rocket launches. Earlier, the highest number of 129 rockets was launched in 1984.

If SpaceX maintains its current speed, it could launch more than 52 rockets this year. Which would easily surpass their own record 31 launches last year.

"Even 10 years ago, these launches were rare," Chris Quilty, founder of Quilty Analytics, told CNN.

He added that only 51 rockets were launched worldwide in 2001.

"Considering that, SpaceX alone is launching 52 times," he said.

"It's incredible."

Most of the launches of SpaceX in 2022 have Starlink in mind. Because, its customer based internet business depends on the satellites in orbit. Since mid-2019, the company has been continuously sending satellites to speed up the internet.

So far, more than 2,200 Starlink satellites have been sent into orbit. As of March, about 2.5 million users worldwide are using the Internet service, the company said at a recent conference.

Although SpaceX is well ahead of its rivals in the rocket industry, the company will remain unrivaled.

Two new rockets have arrived to rival SpaceX's Falcon rocket. One is Jeff Bezos's new rocket 'New Glen' from the space company 'Blue Origin'. The other is the Rocket Vulcan Center, owned by United Launch Alliance, a joint venture between Boeing and Lockheed Martin.

The number of these satellites launched into the rocket, along with SpaceX's Starlink and rival Internet business, has also sparked controversy over 'satellite entanglement in space'.

Collisions between these satellites can create dangerous situations. Such a situation has been created before. These satellites are often coming very close.

Researchers have previously said that caution should be exercised in such situations. Others see SpaceX and other organizations as positive steps to avoid such catastrophes.

"Organizations that can create space debris will soon and directly suffer from that debris." - said Carissa Christensen, CEO of the space research organization Brystek.

He said such clashes would damage their own satellites and investments.

In addition to the SpaceX active rocket, some other smaller spacecraft will be launched from the Florida Space Coast, CNN reported.
