SpaceX achieved a reuse milestone with a Falcon 9 rocket booster flying its 37th mission, setting a record in rocket reuse. The company plans to transition Starlink satellite launches in Florida exclusively to the fully reusable Starship rocket, while continuing Falcon 9 launches from California.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Government & Space.

◆ The Wire takeaway

The shift to Starship as the sole launcher for Starlink in Florida means you must prepare for a changing supplier and launch mix on the US East Coast. You can capitalise on Falcon 9’s legacy by targeting opportunities around boosters retired from active service.
