Traders' near-even split between 140-159 (33%) and 160-179 (33%) SpaceX launches in 2026 reflects accelerating Falcon 9 cadence—averaging 3-4 per week from multiple pads—and tentative Starship ramp-up, with Flight 5's soft ocean landing boosting reusability confidence. Historical data shows 96 launches in 2023 jumping to ~144 projected for 2024, driven by Raptor engine production scaling to 1,000/month and Starlink v3 constellation needs. Key differentiators include Starship's regulatory hurdles and rapid reuse validation; success in upcoming IFT-6 could push toward 200+, but FAA delays or catch failures cap at mid-150s per orbital mechanics and pad constraints. Baseline Starlink/DoD demand supports 150+ as consensus.
