As reported by journalists Micah Maddenberg and Becky Peterson, SpaceX is in the process of gradually phasing out the Falcon 9 rocket — the rocket with the highest launch frequency in the world — and is redirecting its resources towards the development of the next-generation Starship. This shift has posed growing challenges for satellites and spacecraft in securing launch opportunities. Sources close to the situation have revealed that SpaceX has ceased accepting orders for Falcon 9 rideshare launches, and some companies are even struggling to secure launch slots beyond 2028. SpaceX has not yet responded to media inquiries for comment.
