SpaceX just completed its 75th Starlink mission of 2026, pushing this year’s deployments past 2,000 satellites
Roughly 3 out of every 4 Falcon 9 launches this year have been dedicated to Starlink
75 missions in less than 8 months means SpaceX has been launching a new Starlink mission roughly every 3 days
And the constellation has now grown beyond 11,000 satellites in orbit
SpaceX has turned building the largest satellite constellation in history into an industrial production line
Launch → deploy → land → repeat
The rest of the space industry is still trying to understand this level of cadence
