SpaceX Eyes Up to 76 Starship Launches a Year in Florida
Cape Canaveral, FL — October 2026 — SpaceX is preparing for a future where Starship becomes a regular sight over Florida’s Space Coast. According to reporting on the company’s FAA license application, SpaceX is aiming for up to 76 Starship launches a year from Space Launch Complex 37 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
Why Visitors Should Care
If approved and built out, SLC-37 would join Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral’s busy Falcon pads as another must-watch launch complex for tourists, photographers, and cruise visitors. High-cadence Starship operations would mean more night launches, sonic booms, and sky shows along the Brevard coastline.
- Target site: Space Launch Complex 37, Cape Canaveral Space Force Station
- Proposed cadence: up to 76 Starship flights per year
- Context: Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy, and commercial crew already keep the Space Coast among the world’s busiest launch ranges
Pair a Visitor Complex day with a launch-viewing evening and you get the full Florida space-tourism experience — history at KSC, plus the next generation of heavy-lift rockets rising from the Cape.
