In the second quarter of 2025, SpaceX continued its record launch cadence with the Falcon family of rockets, completing the 500th launch of that family by any measure. The company continued to grow its Starlink constellation and customer base, and completed the deployment of its first-generation Direct-to-Cell constellation.
While all other programs at SpaceX have seen some level of success, the Starship program continued suffering issues and failures during the second quarter of 2025. This includes the explosion of a Starship second stage prior to a static fire test, which has prompted the company to devise a new path for Starship’s tenth flight. Additionally, progress continues in Florida to bring the massive rocket to the Space Coast.
