SpaceX completes 200 consecutive Falcon 9 launches
The American company SpaceX has carried out 200 accident-free launches of the Falcon 9 rocket in a row. ArsTechnica writes about this.
The last launch of the Falcon 9 took place on May 31, when 52 Starlink spacecraft were launched into low Earth orbit.
The publication notes that the record for the number of accident-free launches made in a row some time ago belonged to the Soviet Soyuz-U rocket, which made 100 successful launches from 1983 to 1986.
