SpaceX is scheduled to hold its 13th rocket launch on Thursday. According to Parsons, this will support the bank&#8217;s forecast for four commercial launches this year and 1,588 flights in 2031. Thursday&#8217;s flight will focus on deploying Starlink V3 satellites, engine reliability and controlled reentry, he said. SPCX 1M line SpaceX in One Month &#8220;Flight 13 is important because it is intended to validate some of the key capabilities required for this launch ramp, including booster engine relight reliability, in-space Raptor relight, Starlink V3 satellite deployment, and continued heat shield development,&#8221; Parsons said. Shares of the rocket company are hovering slightly above their IPO price of $135, but have fallen 40% from a $225.64 peak reached on June 16. SpaceX had the biggest IPO in history, surging to a $2 trillion valuation on its first day. UBS&#8217; rating matches the Wall Street consensus, where 26 out of the 31 analysts covering the stock have a buy or strong buy rating, according to LSEG.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SpaceX could get a boost if its upcoming rocket launch goes well, according to UBS. &#8220;SpaceX has made&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":103736,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[129],"tags":[166,2132,44553,7993,223],"class_list":["post-103735","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ubs","tag-business-news","tag-investment-strategy","tag-space-exploration-technologies-corp","tag-stock-markets","tag-ubs"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ch\/116924889659740417","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103735","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=103735"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103735\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/103736"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=103735"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=103735"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=103735"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
