SpaceX Could Make Several Starlink Satellite Launches in 2019
• https://www.nextbigfuture.comJeff Foust reported on twitter that Jonathan Hofeller, SpaceX VP of Commercial Sales, said that SpaceX would try to set a new record for launches in 2019. This would mean having 22 or more launches because SpaceX had 21 successful missions in 2018. The statement was made at a launch panel discussion at the 2019 Smallsat Symposium.
Online speculation is that additional launches will be SpaceX launching their own Starlink Satellites and some unspecified military or spy satellites.
