As July turns into August, launch activity will pick up after Falcon 9\u2019s return to flight. Besides the Falcon 9, ULA\u2019s Atlas V and Rocket Lab\u2019s Electron were also being prepared to fly missions to orbit. The USSF-51 flight from Florida was followed by a Chang Zheng-3B\/E from China and the Starlink 10-6 flight. CRS NG-21 launched aboard a Falcon 9 from Florida, while Starlink 11-1 has flown from Vandenberg, and the \u201cOwl for One, One for Owl\u201d flight from New Zealand has flown before those missions.<\/p>\n

After just six flights in July due to the Starlink 9-3 failure, SpaceX hopes to return to its industry-leading flight cadence with two flights in the first three days of August. Although its goal of 148 flights in 2024 might be out of reach, requiring 15 launches per month for the rest of the year, the company still expects to beat 2023\u2019s record of flights handily, while Electron is approaching double-digit flights this year itself.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
