Brevard County's Space Coast set a new record in 2025 with 109 orbital rocket launches, the highest annual total in history. As of April 30, 31 rockets had already launched from Florida this year, with more scheduled through May. The Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and NASA's Kennedy Space Center continue to dominate the nation's space launch calendar. "This is the busiest stretch of the year," said local space enthusiast John Martinez. "Every few days, there's a rocket heading into orbit." SpaceX remains the most active operator, with multiple Starlink satellite launches planned in coming weeks. The company's Falcon 9 rocket is also set to launch a Dragon spacecraft on a NASA resupply mission to the International Space Station. The CRS-34 mission is targeted for Tuesday, May 12, from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The launch window and trajectory have not been finalized, but sonic booms are expected during the flight. Residents near the launch site have been notified to expect loud noises during the mission. United Launch Alliance will follow with its own mission on Friday, May 22. The company's Atlas V rocket will carry Amazon's Leo 7 broadband satellites into low-Earth orbit from Launch Complex 41. Unlike the SpaceX mission, this launch will not produce sonic booms. Both missions will be covered live by 321 Daily's Space Team starting 90 minutes before liftoff at 321daily.com/space. Launch schedules often change due to weather, technical issues, or payload readiness.

The first half of 2026 also promises significant activity, with Blue Origin planning its Blue Moon Pathfinder mission later this year. As the Space Coast continues its dominance in the commercial space industry, residents and visitors are advised to stay informed about launch schedules and safety protocols.
