Space Force Projects 156 Launches for 2025
January 20,2025 – The year 2024 was pretty exciting for space buffs with a record-breaking 93 launches from Florida’s Space Coast, and now officials are saying that this year is likely to smash that record.
Speaking to a group at a luncheon for the National Space Club Florida Committee last week, Col. Meredith Beg, Space Launch Delta 45 vice commander of operations, put the estimated number of launches for 2025 at 156.
“A preponderance of them are going to be commercial missions,” Beg said, “We do have a considerable increase in national security space missions as well.”
With Blue Origin joining the roster last week after the successful launch of the New Glenn rocket and SpaceX showing no signs of slowing down (88 launches in 2024), visitors to Viera will have an excellent chance of catching a launch while checking out the area. And residents will find themselves hearing the familiar “3, 2, 1, blastoff,” more and more frequently.
It’s not science fiction, but a fact. The chances of watching a rocket heading to space from the Cape and the Space Force Station keep getting better. Could this ever get routine? What planet are you from?
