Satellite operators and government agencies doing business in space are increasingly dependent on Elon Musk’s SpaceX to get them into orbit.
With a proven fleet of reusable rockets that rivals can’t match, the company’s rockets powered 66% of customer flights from American launch sites in 2022.
It also powered 88% of launches in the first six months of this year.
Rival vehicles from Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin and the French launch company Arianespace have yet to take flight.
