SpaceX plans to have more rocket launches from the Space Coast this year.
In 2024, there was a record 93 orbital launches, with SpaceX accounting for 88 of them. United Launch Alliance (ULA) performed the remaining five launches.
For 2025, SpaceX plans to have even more launches than ever.
Ken Kremer, research chemist and managing editor of Space UpClose, said, "What will have an impact is in the airspace and marine space, especially with the airplanes. When they are coming in to Orlando and Melbourne, they're going to have to coordinate SpaceX with the airline companies to free up that airspace because we don't want to have an accident."
Kremer says that he doesn't think it will have a significant environmental impact.
According to the Federal Aviation Administration, SpaceX also proposed the construction and operation of a new landing zone.
