The Space Coast ended 2025 with a record 109 orbital launches from SpaceX, United Launch Alliance and Blue Origin, according to data compiled by local observers. That number could be matched or exceeded in 2026 as all three companies ramp up operations and NASA prepares to launch the Space Launch System rocket on Artemis II. As of March 14, 2026, 18 orbital launches are already scheduled for the year, with 17 coming from SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket and one from ULA's Vulcan. No launches are planned from NASA's Kennedy Space Center this year. SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket accounted for all 17 of the 2026 launches so far, with the most recent mission on March 14 carrying 29 Starlink satellites from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station's Space Launch Complex 40. The launch was delayed from March 12 and 13 due to weather. In 2025, the Space Coast saw 83 launches from Cape Canaveral and 26 from Kennedy Space Center, with SpaceX responsible for 101 of the 109 total launches. ULA contributed 6 launches, including one on its new Vulcan rocket, and Blue Origin added 2 with its New Glenn rocket. Four human spaceflights took place last year, including SpaceX's Crew-10, Boeing's Crew Flight Test and three commercial missions. The 2024 total of 93 launches included 67 from Cape Canaveral and 26 from Kennedy Space Center. SpaceX led with 88 launches, including two Falcon Heavy missions, while ULA had five and Relativity Space added one. Five human spaceflights occurred in 2024, including Axiom Space's Ax-3 and Polaris Dawn. In 2023, the Space Coast saw 72 launches, with SpaceX accounting for 68 of them. ULA had three launches and Relativity Space added one. Three human spaceflights took place, including SpaceX's Crew-6 and Ax-2. Detailed launch logs are available from local tracking groups and NASA's Kennedy Space Center website. With 18 launches already scheduled for 2026 and NASA's Artemis II mission pending, the Space Coast remains a key hub for space activity.
