According to people familiar with the matter, SpaceX has begun rejecting satellite operators hoping to receive exclusive launch services through its main rocket “Falcon 9” after 2028, which highlights Elon Musk's heavy focus on the immature “Starship” project. One of the people familiar with the matter said that Musk's rocket, satellite, and artificial intelligence giant has also stopped producing some of the “Falcon” series components that cannot be reused, such as the rocket's large upper stage. According to people familiar with the matter, SpaceX is currently no longer accepting future reservations for the “Falcon 9” batch launch project. The project allows multiple satellite operators to share the same rocket to enter orbit. People familiar with the matter said that SpaceX's plans may still change due to various factors, including new setbacks in “Starship” research and development. Some people familiar with the matter said that the company may continue to use “Falcon 9” to carry out launch missions for the US Department of Defense and NASA in the future.
