At the meeting, former NASA astronaut and panel member Sandy Magnus said, “SpaceX has 52 ambitious takeoff targets by 2022.” officially announced the company’s mission plan.
At the meeting in question, it was noted that SpaceX is one of NASA’s biggest business partners. As it is known, the company sends NASA astronauts to space stations using the Crew Dragon spacecraft, and at the same time brings back the capsule of the vehicle. For this reason, NASA has a large share in SpaceX’s mission numbers.
Of course, there is no guarantee of the number of departures determined for this year. Because SpaceX CEO Elon Musk stated in a statement in the past that the company has 48 take-off targets for 2021, but only 31 of them have been achieved. For this reason, it is a matter of great curiosity whether SpaceX, which can complete its 3 missions as of January 28, 2022, can reach the determined target.
