List of Falcon 9 first-stage boosters

A Falcon 9 first-stage booster is a 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 54 times out of 64 attempts, including synchronized recoveries of the side-boosters of the Falcon Heavy test flight, Arabsat-6A, and STP-2 missions. One out of three Falcon Heavy center boosters landed softly but it was severely damaged during transport.

Left to right: Falcon 9 v1.0, v1.1, v1.2 "Full Thrust", Falcon 9 Block 5, Falcon Heavy, and Falcon Heavy Block 5.

In total 23 recovered boosters have been refurbished and subsequently flown a second time including several boosters with three or four missions and two with five missions. SpaceX intentionally limited Block 3 and Block 4 boosters to flying only two missions each,[1][2] but the company expects the Block 5 versions to achieve 10 flights each without major refurbishment.[3]

List of boosters

Block 5

Block 5 is the final iteration of the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy boosters. Changes include a stronger heat shield, uprated engines, new carbon composite sections (landing legs, engine sections, raceways, RCS thrusters and interstage), retractable landing legs, titanium grid fins, and other additions that simplify refurbishment and allow for easier reusability. SpaceX claims that a block 5 booster can fly 10 times or more. On 4 June 2020, during the Starlink-7 mission (L8), Booster B1049.5 was the first to complete 5 landings on the Droneships "Just Read The Instructions" and "Of Course I Still Love You" and is expected to fly again later in 2020, Most likely with Starlink-8 mission (L9) or Starlink-9 mission (L10).

Full Thrust up to Block 4

Falcon 9 Full Thrust (or sometimes called Falcon 9 version 1.2) was the first version of the Falcon 9 to successfully land. Changes included a larger fuel tank, uprated engines and superchilled propellant and oxidizer to increase performance. Also included in this list is the upgraded version of the full thrust variant called Falcon 9 block 4 (or version 1.3). Block 4 was a test version that included new hardware like titanium grid fins later used for the next and final major version of the Falcon 9, aka Block 5 (or version 1.4). Flights of all Falcon 9 rockets up to Block 4 were limited to 2 flights only, with a total of 14 second flights of these variants. The boosters were either retired or expended after that second launch.

  2. Some sources list this scheduled launch in the total launch count, and list this as the 29th Falcon 9 launch.[4]

v1.0 and v1.1

These boosters were the first 2 major versions of the Falcon 9. Version 1.0 of the falcon 9 was the very first version. The Falcon 9 looked very different from what it does today and it was much smaller and had much less power. On the maiden flight and second flight of V 1.0, SpaceX included basic recovery hardware (parachutes) to try and recover the 1st stages. Unfortunetly, because the 1st stage broke up on re-entry due to aerodynamic forces both times, SpaceX gave up on parachutes and decided to pursue propulsive landings instead. First came some controlled water landings, then came the attempts on the Droneship "Just Read the Instructions 1". None of these boosters were recovered or survived landing after an orbital launch. Two test devices made several short flights each.

Statistics
Main article: List of Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launches

Rockets from the Falcon 9 family have been launched 90 times over 10 years, resulting in 88 full mission successes (97.8%), 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 five 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 67 times from December 2015 to present, 26 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, and then again in April and June 2019, the June flight reusing the side booster from the previous flight. The final "Block 4" booster to be produced was flown in April 2018, and the first Block 5 version in May 2018. While Block 4 boosters were only 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.[3]

The rocket's first-stage boosters have been recovered in 54 of 64 landing attempts (84%), with 30 out of 34 for the latest version, Block 5.

Booster turnaround time

This chart displays the turnaround time, in months, between two flights of each booster. As of February 2020 the shortest turnaround time was 2 months 0 days (62 days), for the fourth flight of B1056. Boosters that are still likely to be re-used (active fleet) are highlighted in bold and with an asterisk.

  2. 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.

This chart lists how often boosters were flown. It is limited to the Full Thrust versions as previous versions were never recovered intact. The entries for Block 5 include active boosters that can make additional flights in the future.
