SpaceX(Nasdaq: SPCX) plans to launch 29 Starlink satellites from Cape Canaveral on Monday using a Falcon 9 rocket booster that has previously flown 17 missions.
The launch is scheduled for 10:49 a.m. Eastern Time. If all goes well, the B1085 booster will land about eight minutes later on the company’s unmanned recovery ship in the Atlantic Ocean.
Per SpaceX’s standards, the 18th flight is routine operations. Another booster, B1067, just completed a record 36th flight last month.
This kind of routinization is the foundation of SpaceX’s commercial model. By reusing rockets instead of discarding them after a single use, the company can carry out launches more frequently while reducing the cost of each mission.
NASA proved reuse is feasible, but it did not achieve low cost or rapid turnaround.
Reusable spacecraft are not a new concept.
NASA’s Space Shuttles and their solid rocket boosters repeatedly flew missions over three decades, with the Space Shuttle Endeavour completing 39 missions on its own—more than any Falcon 9 booster has flown so far.
The problem was that shuttle maintenance was always expensive and took a long time.
NASA initially envisioned a turnaround time of two weeks, but it was never achieved in fewer than 55 days, and a later NASA analysis estimated the cost per launch at about $1.5 billion. Today, the cost of a single Falcon 9 launch is about $74 million.
Flight-proven hardware is now the norm.
In recent filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), SpaceX said it has completed about 650 orbital launches, with more than 540 using flight-proven Falcon rockets. For years, building brand-new boosters for each mission has long ceased to be the company’s standard operating model.
The result is a launch cadence unmatched. The Starlink mission launched from California on Saturday was the 92nd flight of the Falcon 9 in 2026, and Monday’s mission will be the 93rd. By comparison, Europe has conducted only 334 space launches in total since 1970.
Kalshi traders predict SpaceX will complete 156 launches this year.
China is now trying to land SpaceX’s rockets, which it has already been reusing.
