SpaceX is set to launch 131 satellites to orbit today (Jan. 14) from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, on a rideshare mission called Transporter 12.

SpaceX, an aerospace company by Elon Musk, has achieved a new milestone by completing the most rocket launches in a single year. The company launched 129 Falcon 9 rockets, two Falcon Heavy missions, and three Starship flights in 2024. This brings the total to 134 missions, breaking the previous record of 98 launches set by SpaceX in 2023.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket is set to launch a pair of lunar landers on a journey to our closest celestial neighbor — kicking off what’s expected to be a bustling year of moon missions amid a renewed race to establish a long-term human presence on the lunar surface.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch moon landers built by Firefly Aerospace and the Japanese company ispace early Wednesday (Jan. 15), and you can watch it live.

Just after midnight Wednesday, a SpaceX rocket is scheduled to lift off, carrying a pair of lunar landers that will try to touch down on the moon in the coming months. One was built by a Japanese company and the other was built by a Texas company.
