SpaceX is aiming to carry out 10,000 rocket launches every year within the next five years, according to the head of the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford said he recently met with Gwynne Shotwell, who shared the company’s ambitious long-term vision to significantly increase its launch operations.
Speaking during a public forum, Bedford said the FAA currently does not see regulations as the main obstacle to increasing launch frequency in the United States.
The announcement comes as SpaceX officially filed its S-1 prospectus with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), preparing for what could become one of the biggest initial public offerings (IPOs) in history.
The filing marks the first time in its 24-year history that SpaceX has publicly revealed detailed financial information.
According to the filing, the company generated $18.7 billion in revenue in 2025. However, SpaceX also reported an operating loss of $2.6 billion as it continued investing heavily in next-generation rocket technology and artificial intelligence projects.
Although SpaceX did not officially confirm how much money it plans to raise through the IPO or its expected market valuation, several US media reports stated that the company aims to raise nearly $75 billion with a possible valuation of up to $1.75 trillion.
The company’s aggressive expansion plans highlight its growing focus on large-scale space transportation, satellite deployment, and advanced aerospace technology development.
