Fast Technology reported on February 16 that SpaceX has been quite busy recently, and it is unprecedented that four rockets once stood at the launch site at the same time, but it may be the norm in the future, or even more.
One is the LC-39A station at the Kennedy Space Launch Center in Florida, a sixteen-handed Falcon 9 rocket (B1060.).16), which was launched at 14:05 on February 15, Beijing time, and was successfully launched.
The launch payload is the Odysseus lunar landing probe from the American company Intuitive Machines, which is scheduled to land around the Malapert A crater near the moon's south pole about nine days after launch.
If all goes well, it will be the first U.S. spacecraft to land on the moon since Apollo 17 in 1972 and a prelude to the Artemis program.
Not so long ago, the mission of the Peregrine Falcon lunar lander, developed by the American Aerospace Robotics Corporation, failed, returned to Earth and self-destructed.
The second is the SLC-40 station at Cape Calavall Air Force Base in Florida, the seven-handed Falcon IX rocket (B10787), It was launched at 6:30 a.m. Beijing time on February 15 and was successfully launched.
The mission number is USSF-124, and the launch payload is a total of 6 satellites of the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) and the Space Development Agency (SDA) under the US Space Force, of which 4 are missile early warning satellites and 2 are hypersonic ballistic missile tracking satellites.
This is the 11th time that SpaceX has used a Falcon rocket to carry out a U.S. launch mission.
The third is the SLC-4E station at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, another Falcon 9 rocket.
It is planned to carry out Starlink launch missions 7-14, a total of 22 satellites.
It was also expected to be launched on February 15, achieving three launches a day, but it was postponed for some reason.
The fourth is the Texas Starship Complex SN28+B10.
The Starship rocket and spacecraft have merged, and the launch is planned in about 3 weeks, possibly early March.
SpaceX has completed 14 launches this year, an average of 3Once every 3 days, but if you want to achieve the goal of 150 times a year, you have to continue to speed up.
