TL;DR Summary

SpaceX is preparing for its 60th orbital launch of the year with the Starlink Group 6-13 mission, which aims to deploy 22 Starlink V2 Mini satellites to low Earth orbit. This launch puts SpaceX on the verge of breaking its own record of 61 missions set in 2022. The company continues to dominate the launch market, with 43 orbital launches in the first two quarters of this year, compared to 53 launches from all other providers combined. However, an engine issue delayed another launch that would have tied the record. Weather conditions may also affect the Starlink launch.
