SpaceX Completes Two Orbital Launches within 19 Hours, IPO Oversubscribed and Set to Land on Nasdaq on June 12th

June 6 – SpaceX has just set a new record for high-frequency orbital launches: between June 3 and June 4 local time, the aerospace giant launched two Falcon 9 rockets from separate U.S. sites—Vandenberg Space Force Base in California and Cape Canaveral Space Launch Complex in Florida. The missions deployed Starlink satellites: Starlink 17-47 and Starlink 10-43, bringing a total of 53 new satellites into orbit, with liftoffs spaced less than 19 hours apart. Breakdown of the dual launches: The June 3 mission out of California carried 24 satellites, lifting off at 8:40 a.m. Pacific Time. The June 4 flight from Florida deployed 29 satellites, launching at 6:26 a.m. Eastern Time. Market analysts note this marks a stark shift from most aerospace companies, which still struggle to maintain a stable monthly launch schedule—consecutive orbital launches have become normalized for SpaceX. In other corporate news, SpaceX is set to debut on the Nasdaq exchange on June 12 under the stock ticker "SPCX." The initial public offering (IPO) is priced at $135 per share, with a target to raise $75 billion. Investor subscriptions have hit roughly $150 billion—twice the original goal—setting a new global record for the largest IPO.
