Traders' near-even split between 140-159 (34.5%) and 160-179 (33.5%) launches reflects SpaceX's blistering Falcon 9 cadence in early 2026, with 40 orbital missions by late March—averaging one every 2.2 days from pads at Cape Canaveral, Vandenberg, and Kennedy Space Center—projecting 160+ Falcon flights alone if sustained, building on 2025's record 167 launches driven by Starlink deployments and rapid booster reusability. Starship's test program adds upside potential, with infrastructure advances like Pad 2 activation and Version 3 prototypes enabling higher throughput, though FAA licensing, orbital refueling demos, and anomaly resolutions introduce uncertainty that caps 200+ odds at 16%. Key differentiators include Starship operational ramp-up milestones expected mid-year versus Falcon-only reliability; watch April forecast updates and Q2 launch logs for shifts.
