It was at the top of the list last year with the slate of 31 missions amid a whirlwind campaign which was to launch its own internet satellites into orbit. ``` HIGHLIGHTS SpaceX had broken its record for number of rockets launched in a calendar year The mission has been taken away from the Vandenberg Space Force Base Elon Musk has founded SpaceX in 2002 ``` During the **32nd** launch of [2022 of SpaceX](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1398/elon-musk-ceo-of-spacex-is-very-confident-in-2022-his-starship-will-reach-orbit), it has used its workhorse **Falcon 9** rocket which comes as the company races to build a constellation of broadband satellites called **Starlink**.

Elon Musk, the chief executive of SpaceX has tweeted after the successful mission where it has deployed **46 Starlink** satellites to low-Earth orbit. The tweet states “**Congrats to SpaceX team on record number of launches!**” Well, the mission was taken away from the company’s **Califonia** launchsite at the **Vandenberg Space Force Base**. Nearly 3,000 [Starlink](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1700/approval-by-the-us-for-spacex-s-starlink-internet-service-for-moving-vehicles) satellites were launched so far to space by SpaceX. ![With the 32nd Mission in 2022 SpaceX Breaks Starlink’s Annual Launch](https://www.mindstick.com/usernews/645947/d40a58a1-e54e-42e4-9514-0e82793a5ae8/images/f423bbcf-5149-48e5-91fc-6fe003f170a1.jpeg)\ The Friday’s mission has helped SpaceX to be on the pace to achieve its goal of about [52 orbital missions](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1083/spacex-sets-52-starlink-satellites-from-california-base) by the end of this year. It can even double its annual launch cadence with the [reusable Falcon 9](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1574/reuse-of-spacex-falcon-9-rocket-for-us-intelligent-satellite-launch) that according to SpaceX could be reflown up to 15 times. The majority of such missions were scheduled to be in-house Starlink missions. The company which was founded by Musk in 2002 had focused to normalize interplanetary travel, but this focus has got shifted in recent months from producing Falcon 9 rockets to managing a fleet of these already built, investing heavily in [infrastructure](https://www.mindstick.com/news/2313/a-cybersecurity-and-infrastructure-security-agency-will-monitor-the-us-midterm-elections) for refurbishing boosters within speedy timelines. The company has applied a similar strategy to its fleet of reusable **Crew Dragons** – gumdrop-shaped spacecraft that had launched atop the Falcon 9 and ferry humans to orbit and the **[International Space](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/114598/how-does-the-international-space-station-iss-benefit-from-nasa-s-research) Station**.
