SpaceX's Ambitious Launch Goals for 2023 Fall Just Short

SpaceX is likely to fall just short of its goal of 100 Falcon launches in 2023 due to an 11-day gap in launches caused by poor weather conditions and technical issues. The company has conducted 92 launches so far this year, including 88 Falcon 9 and 4 Falcon Heavy launches. Despite missing the goal, SpaceX's launch cadence has significantly increased compared to previous years and its competitors. SpaceX accounts for nearly half of the orbital launch attempts in 2023 and plans to further increase its launch cadence in 2024.
