# 90th Falcon Launch in 2026: SpaceX Sets New World Record

The space industry has recorded an unprecedented pace of operations. SpaceX, founded by Elon Musk, has successfully executed its 90th launch of the Falcon rocket family since the beginning of 2026. This figure represents a unique achievement that no other space organization or private company in the world has yet been able to replicate.

### Mission from Vandenberg Base

The latest successful launch took place from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. As part of this mission, the Falcon 9 launch vehicle deployed another 24 Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit. According to experts, all spacecraft have successfully deployed and are fully operational in their designated orbit, continuing to expand the global internet coverage network.

### Precise Landing on a Floating Platform

A key stage of the mission was the return of the first stage. After separating from the payload, it performed a precise landing on an autonomous spaceport drone ship (ASDS) in the Pacific Ocean. The platform is named "Of Course I Still Love You." The successful completion of this complex engineering operation once again confirmed the reliability of the reusable launch system, which has become SpaceX's hallmark.

### Transformation of the Space Services Market

To date, SpaceX holds a position close to an absolute monopoly in the commercial space launch market. The company's ability to conduct sequential and rapid repeat launches has radically changed the cost of access to space worldwide. This factor is forcing other states and private corporations to accelerate their own developments and programs in an attempt to catch up with the technological leader.
