SpaceX's 2023 Goal of 100 Falcon 9 Launches Falls Short

SpaceX falls short of Elon Musk's goal of achieving 100 Falcon 9 launches in 2023, with only 92 launches completed. Despite not reaching the target, SpaceX maintained an impressive launch cadence throughout the year, launching a Falcon 9 rocket approximately every four days. The company remains dominant in the industry, conducting almost 50% of all global orbital launch attempts. Looking ahead to 2024, SpaceX aims to increase its flight rate to approximately 12 flights per month, with a target of 144 Falcon flights for the year.
