SpaceX inteds to launch two consecutive rockets on Thursday and Friday

According to the news, SpaceX planned to released two Falcon 9 rockets within two days. The first rocket furnished with Starlink satellites will be launched at 1:19 a.m. Eastern time on Thursday,  and the second is scheduled to be launched at 5:14 a.m. Friday release.

Since SpaceX took over the use of the Cape Canaveral release pad 39A from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), it has become even busier. The company also has the right to use launchpad 40 and also has a launchpad in California.

It is precise because of having multiple launching stations that the company can perform two consecutive launch missions within two days. SpaceX originally planned to complete two launches at once on Thursday, but later announced that it would postpone one of them to Friday.

Driven by SpaceX, the average launch frequency of Cape Canaveral has reached once a week, but they ultimately hope to reach 100 to 200 per year in the near future.
