This article discusses SpaceX’s launch scheduled for 2022. On March 19, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket soared for the unprecedented twelfth time and landed successfully for the second time. At 12:42 a.m. EDT (0442 GMT) on Saturday, the two-stage Falcon 9 rocket launched from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, delivering 53 of SpaceX’s Starlink broadband satellites into low Earth orbit. The Falcon 9 first stage’s eleventh launch set a new SpaceX rocket reuse record. According to a mission description, SpaceX’s first manned flight, the Demo2 mission to the International Space Station, actually takes place in May 2020, followed by the SXM7 satellite for SiriusXM in December 2020, and eight more Starlink flights. Read on to learn more about SpaceX’s launch scheduled for 2022.
SpaceX Launch Schedule 2022
On the 19th of March at 12:00 a.m. ET, Falcon 9 launched 53 Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, marking the 12th launch of the Falcon 9 rocket and the first landing of an orbital-class rocket booster. This Falcon 9 first stage booster has previously launched Dragon’s first Crew Demonstration Mission, Constellation Mission RADARSAT, SXM-7, and nine Starlink missions.

The launch dates shown in the SpaceX Launch Schedule 2022 are tentative and may change.
Falcon 9 carrying StarLink Satellites was launched by SpaceX.
The first stage landed for the 12th time, around nine minutes after the Just Read the Instructions drone lifted off from its mooring in the Atlantic Ocean off Florida’s coast.
Starlink mission 4-12 had been visited 11 times by three Falcon boosters.
The Falcon 9 rocket’s second stage fired its single-engine to achieve a preliminary transfer orbit, while the first stage returned to Earth for a sea landing east of the Carolinas. 45 minutes after liftoff, another burn placed the Starlink satellites in the proper orbit for separation.
The second phase of the mission continued to deliver all 53 Starlink spacecraft to their assigned orbit. They will be deployed about an hour after takeoff if everything goes as planned. The small spacecraft emerged from Falcon 9’s upper stage 59 minutes after liftoff.
| Rocket | Falcon 9 (B1051.12) |
| Payload | 53 Starlink satelllites (Starlink 4-12) |

| Target Orbit | 189 miles by 197 miles (304 kilometers by 318 kilometers), 53.2 degrees inclination |
The broadband network serves customers from all over the globe including Ukraine which’s communications infrastructure was destroyed by Russian forces that invaded the country. SpaceX supplied Starlink terminals as well as other equipment to the war-ravaged country and was applauded by grateful Ukrainian official officials.
The Starlink network is growing as demonstrated by the launch that took place on Saturday morning. SpaceX is hoping to make it significantly larger: SpaceX has been granted permission for the launch of 12,000 Starlink satellites and has submitted a request with an International regulator to get permission to launch thirty thousand more.
It is expected that the Starlink satellites will increase their solar arrays and utilize their onboard ion thrusters in order to attain their operating orbit, which is at 335 miles (540 kilometers), and will begin commercial service with SpaceX. So far, SpaceX has launched 2,335 Starlink satellites, which include spacecraft that have either been removed or destroyed. According to a database maintained by Jonathan McDowell, an astrophysicist who monitors spaceflight activity more than 2,000 of those satellites were orbiting operating as of the weekend.
