BlockBeats News, June 20, 2026: During the first quarter of 2026, the total global space launch mass reached approximately 647,000 kilograms, an 18% year-over-year increase. SpaceX, with 556,000 kilograms, took the lead by more than 13 times compared to the second place, establishing a near-monopoly on global launch capacity of about 86%.
Elon Musk commented on this, saying: "Once Starship achieves an hourly launch cadence, SpaceX's orbital tonnage will be about 100 times that of all other operators combined, even if they triple their current launch rates."
Currently, with Starship yet to enter high-frequency commercial operations, SpaceX has already established overwhelming dominance with the Falcon series. Analysts point out that once Starship is scaled for operational deployment, a historic reshaping of the global aerospace landscape will occur.
