Five of this month’s completed launches have deployed Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit, expanding SpaceX’s rapidly growing network to deliver high-speed internet coverage worldwide.
For humans in space, SpaceX conducted a commercial resupply mission to the International Space Station. A Falcon 9 rocket launched a commercial spacecraft carrying approximately 11,000 pounds of equipment – made up of science and supplies – to support astronauts on extended stays aboard the orbital laboratory.
Let’s take a closer look at how trading on prediction markets has evolved around SpaceX launches this month.
All six launches have been by the Falcon 9, a partially reusable, two-stage-to-orbit, medium-lift launch vehicle designed and manufactured in the US.
