It probably seems like SpaceX is launching almost every day, and that’s not far from the case. It also might seem like SpaceX is regularly breaking one of its records, whether it’s in the number of launches, turnaround time, or reusing Falcon 9 boosters. It’s also true.

SpaceX blew past one of those records over Labor Day weekend when the company launched a Falcon 9 rocket from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This mission was SpaceX’s 62nd launch of the year using its Falcon 9 or Falcon Heavy rocket, or 63rd if you count the test flight of the Starship mega-rocket in April.

SpaceX has launched 83 Falcon 9 or Falcon Heavy missions over the past 12 months.
