List of Falcon 9 first-stage boosters

A Falcon 9 first-stage booster is a first-stage reusable rocket booster used on the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy orbital launch vehicles manufactured by SpaceX. The manufacture of first-stage booster constitutes about 60% of the launch price of a single Falcon 9 (and three of them over 80% of the launch price of a Falcon Heavy), which led SpaceX to develop a program dedicated to recovery and reuse of these boosters for a significant decrease in launch costs. After multiple attempts, some as early as 2010, at controlling the reentry of the first stage after its separation from the second stage, the first successful controlled landing of a first stage occurred on 22 December 2015, on the first flight of the Full Thrust version. Since then, Falcon 9 first-stage boosters have been landed and recovered 26 times out of 32 attempts, including a synchronized recovery of the two side-boosters of the Falcon Heavy debut launch.

As of 8 October 2018, 16 recovered boosters were refurbished and subsequently flown a second time. Four new Block 5 boosters were recovered and could be available for future flights, including two for their third mission.[1] SpaceX has intentionally limited Block 3 and Block 4 boosters to only flying two missions each,[2][3] but the company expects the Block 5 versions to achieve 10 flights each without major refurbishment.[4]

Statistics

Rockets from the Falcon 9 family have been launched 63 times over 8 years, resulting in 61 full mission successes (96.8%), one partial success (CRS-1 delivered its cargo to the ISS, but a secondary payload was stranded in a lower-than-planned orbit), and one failure (the CRS-7 spacecraft was lost in flight). Additionally, one rocket and its payload Amos-6 were destroyed before launch in preparation for an on-pad static fire test.

The first rocket version Falcon 9 v1.0 was launched 5 times from June 2010 to March 2013, its successor Falcon 9 v1.1 15 times from September 2013 to January 2016, and the latest upgrade Falcon 9 Full Thrust 42 times from December 2015 to present, 14 of which using a re-flown first stage booster. Falcon Heavy was launched once in February 2018, incorporating two refurbished first stages as side boosters. The final "Block 4" booster to be produced was flown in April 2018, and the first Block 5 version in May. While Block 4 boosters were only ever flown twice and required several months of refurbishment, Block 5 versions are designed to sustain 10 flights with just inspections, possibly on a 24-hour turnover.[4]

The rocket's first-stage boosters have been recovered in 30 of 36 landing attempts (83%).

  1. ↑ Full Thrust Boosters B1023 and B1025 were converted to side boosters for the Falcon Heavy test flight of February 2018. This configuration will never fly again, as future Falcon Heavy missions will use a modified variant of Block 5 modules as side boosters.
