BlockBeats News. June 20, 2026. In the first quarter of 2026, the total uplink mass of global space launches was approximately 647,000 kilograms, up 18% year over year. SpaceX ranked first with 556,000 kilograms—more than 13 times that of the second-place company—holding about 86% of global launch capacity exclusively.

Elon Musk commented: “Once Starship achieves launches every hour, SpaceX’s payload to orbit will be about 100 times the combined total of all other operators, even if they triple their current launch frequency.”

Starship has not yet entered high-frequency commercial operations. However, SpaceX has already established a dominant advantage with its Falcon series. Analysts point out that once Starship is scaled up and deployed, the global space landscape will undergo a historic reshaping.
