SpaceX achieved a historic milestone with the 500th mission of its Falcon rocket family

On June 12, 2025, SpaceX marked a historic milestone with the 500th mission of its Falcon rocket family, achieved through the Starlink 11-22 launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, which successfully deployed 26 satellites into low Earth orbit.

This milestone, encompassing Falcon 1, Falcon 9, and Falcon Heavy launches since 2010, underscores SpaceX’s trailblazing role in reusable rocket technology, significantly lowering costs and enabling an unprecedented launch cadence of 134 missions in 2024 and 72 in 2025 to date.

Despite setbacks, such as a recent liquid oxygen leak delaying the Axiom-4 mission, SpaceX’s unwavering commitment to innovation continues to transform the global space industry, cementing its leadership in commercial and government launches.
