SpaceX's latest launch
SpaceX successfully launched 24 Starlink satellites on Monday, November 12, 2024, using the Falcon 9 rocket to take off from the launch complex at Cape Canaveral, Fla. The rocket tail number B1080 completed its 12th flight. The satellite launched this time was the V2 Mini type. About eight minutes after the launch, the rocket successfully landed on the unmanned ship, completing the 84th successful landing. This was the 108th Falcon 9 mission of 2024, marking a total of six Starlink missions. SpaceX also plans to launch more Starlink this week and prepare for the upcoming sixth test flight of Starship. It is expected that the launch of the IF - 6 may take place next Monday (November 18, 2024), provided that the necessary FAA license is obtained.

SpaceX's latest launch
On Monday, November 12, 2024 (Beijing time), SpaceX used the Falcon 9 rocket (tail number B1080, 12th flight) to take off from the launch complex 40 in Cape Canaveral, Fla., and successfully launched 24 Starlink satellites (V2 Mini type). The launch was delayed due to bad weather. About eight minutes after the launch, the rocket successfully landed on the unmanned ship, completing the 84th successful landing, which also marked the total number of Starlink missions. At the same time, with the completion of the 108th Falcon 9 mission in 2024, SpaceX plans to launch more Starlink this week and prepare for the upcoming sixth test flight of Starship. It is expected that the launch of the IF - 6 may be carried out next Monday (November 18, 2024), provided that the necessary FaA license is obtained.

SpaceX2021 launch
In 2021, SpaceX launched several missions. Among them, the SpaceX Crew - 2 mission was launched on April 23,2021 (Eastern Time) on the Falcon 9 rocket from the Kennedy Space Center in Orlando, sending four astronauts to the International Space Station for a six-month mission. On February 14, 2021, NASA announced that two astronauts on the SpaceX Crew - 4 mission would head to the International Space Station. The Crew - 4 mission was scheduled to launch in 2022. In addition, on May 5,2021, SpaceX conducted a test flight of the prototype rocket, the SSN15, in Texas, and achieved a successful landing for the first time.

SpaceX launch record
SpaceX's starship launch record was as follows: - In April 2023, the starship underwent its first test flight. It lost control during the lift off and then exploded in midair. - On November 18th, 2023, the starship launched for the second time. This was an orbital-level test mission. After the rocket was launched, the first and second stages were successfully separated. The super-heavy thruster disintegrated in the air. The original plan of the super-heavy thruster ocean controlled splash landing was unsuccessful, and the starship continued to fly into space. About nine minutes after the launch, although the mission was not completely successful, it was an improvement from the first time. - In March 2024, the starship carried out its third test flight. The second stage was detected to be flying in an abnormal trajectory and the signal was lost. In the end, the test flight was ended early. The first stage of the starship fell into the sea early due to insufficient flight speed and did not reach the target Indian Ocean. - On June 6, 2024, the fourth test flight was carried out. The starship successfully completed the controlled re-entry mission. The super-heavy thrusters and the starship persisted until they landed on the sea surface, but unfortunately, they did not achieve recovery and capture. - At 8:25 p. m. on October 13th, 2024, the starship carried out its fifth launch test mission. The launch site was at the interstellar base in southern Texas. In this mission, the rocket broke through the maximum dynamic pressure point at 1 minute and 05 seconds after launch, and the super-heavy thruster completed the landing ignition at 6 minutes and 33 seconds and was successfully captured by the launch pad. - On November 18, 2024 (the earliest scheduled launch time), the starship would carry out its sixth flight test mission.

SpaceX launch price
SpaceX's launch price depended on a variety of factors, such as load weight and transportation distance. The cost of refuelling and re-launching the starship was once 10 US dollars per kilogram (now unknown), and the external offer was hoped to be reduced to 100 US dollars per kilogram (that is, 10 - 15 million US dollars for a launch); The cost of a single launch of the starship had dropped to 90 million US dollars; The average price of each launch was about 62 million US dollars, and the public offer for similar missions using the Falcon 9 rocket was 67 million US dollars.

SpaceX2020 launch plan
In August 2020, SpaceX planned to carry out three major space launch missions within 10 hours of August 30, Eastern Time: the SAOOM satellite in Argentina, the 12th batch of Star Chain satellites, and the starship, the SSN6 launch mission. However, this plan was adjusted due to the delay in the launch of the secret National Reconnaissance Office 44 (NROL - 44) spy satellite by the United States 'Delta IV heavy rocket. The original plan for the second jump flight of the starship was to last from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on August 29, but it was later postponed to August 30.

SpaceX launch update
SpaceX plans to conduct the sixth flight test mission of the Starship as early as 16:00 Central Time on November 18, 2024 (6:00 Beijing time the next day). SpaceX's Starbase operations director revealed that the super-heavy rocket/starship spacecraft was scheduled to be launched 25 times next year (2025). If the flight was successful, it was planned to complete the recovery of the starship spacecraft within six months. In the last (fifth) test, SpaceX successfully "clamped" the super-heavy thruster with the "chopsticks" robotic arm, and the upper stage of the starship performed a controlled splash in the Indian Ocean. The next test would repeat these steps and continue to test the superior thermal protection system and re-entry maneuverability. The novel "Hundred Years of Spaceship" is equally exciting.
