Counts are launches filed under SpX’s own name in The Space Devs’ Launch Library register. They are not a count of missions or payloads: a spacecraft that flew on a contracted vehicle is credited to the operator that flew it.

Who flies for them, and who they fly for

An operator owns the rocket and runs the count, and it is the operator’s name the launch schedule filters by. A customer funds the mission, supplies the payload and buys the ride. Plenty of organisations are both. SpX is counted below in whichever role the current manifest actually gives it.

No scheduled flight in the current window names SpX while being operated by somebody else.

How this is counted: a scheduled launch is treated as a customer flight when this organisation’s name or abbreviation appears in the launch name, mission name or programme and somebody else is flying it. Mission descriptions are not searched, and the window is one batch of the next launches worldwide, reaching to 2026-12-31 00:00:00Z — so both counts are a floor, not a complete manifest.

About SpX

Space Exploration Technologies Corp., known as SpaceX, is an American aerospace manufacturer and space transport services company headquartered in Hawthorne, California. It was founded in 2002 by entrepreneur Elon Musk with the goal of reducing space transportation costs and enabling the colonization of Mars. SpaceX operates from many pads, on the East Coast of the US they operate from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and historic LC-39A at Kennedy Space Center. They also operate from SLC-4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, usually for polar launches. Another launch site is being developed at Boca Chica, Texas.

Upcoming launches

“T-0 known to” is the register’s own precision on the launch time — a date good only to the month is shown as such rather than counted down as if it were exact. A go-probability appears only where the operator published one for that flight; Delta-V does not calculate it and it is not a forecast made here.

Common questions

How many launches has SpaceX flown?
SpaceX has 736 launches on record under its own name, of which 721 succeeded and 15 failed. The register counts launches flown under an operator's own name, not missions or payloads it contributed to.
What is SpaceX's success rate?
SpaceX has a lifetime launch success rate of 98.0%, calculated as 721 successful flights out of 736 attempts. Its current run is 221 consecutive successes.
When is SpaceX's next launch?
SpaceX's next launch inside Delta-V's manifest window is Falcon 9 Block 5 | Starlink Group 15-25, scheduled for 2026-10-13 00:11:44Z from Space Launch Complex 4E. The register files that time with a precision of SEC. A launch time is a no-earlier-than target and can move.
Does SpaceX fly its own rockets, or buy launches from another operator?
SpaceX has 736 launches flown under its own name in the launch register. It is the operator on 19 flights in the current manifest window. An operator owns the rocket and runs the count; a customer funds the mission, supplies the payload and buys the ride. The operator filter on the launch schedule lists only the former, which is why a well-known agency can be central to a flight and still not appear on it.
Where is SpaceX based?
SpaceX is based in United States of America and the register classifies it as a commercial operator. It was founded in 2002.
