List of Falcon 9 first-stage boosters

January 22, 2023

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 expended Falcon 9 (and three of them over 80% of the launch price of an expended 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 166 times out of 177 attempts, including synchronized recoveries of the side-boosters of the Falcon Heavy test flight, Arabsat-6A, USSF-44, USSF-67 and STP-2 missions. One of the 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 36 recovered boosters have been refurbished and subsequently flown at least a second time, the leading boosters have flown 13 to 15 missions. SpaceX intentionally limited Block 3 and Block 4 boosters to flying only two missions each,[1][2] but the company indicated in 2018 that they expected the Block 5 versions to achieve ten flights, each with only minor refurbishment. This milestone was first achieved by Booster B1051 on the Starlink-27 mission in 2021.[3]

All boosters in Block 4 and earlier have been retired, expended, or lost. The last flight of a Block 4 booster was in June 2018. Since then all boosters in the active fleet are Block 5.

Booster names are a B followed by a four-digit number. The first Falcon 9 version, v1.0, had boosters B0001 to B0007. All following boosters were numbered sequentially starting at B1001.

List of boosters

v1.0 and v1.1

These boosters were the first 2 major versions of the Falcon 9. 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 booster. However, as the boosters 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 drone ship "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.

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 supercooled propellant and oxidizer to increase performance. Five different versions of Full Thrust have been produced, Block 1 to 4 (all retired) are found in this list while the active Block 5 is listed separately. 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, Block 5. 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.

Since no data is provided, Falcon 9 boosters listed as simply "FT" (Full Thrust) denote Blocks 1 to 3, while Block 4 is listed as "FT Block 4". All boosters are Falcon 9 variants, unless otherwise noted. Boosters B1023 and B1025 were Falcon 9 boosters, which were converted to Falcon Heavy side boosters for the Falcon Heavy test flight.

Block 5

There are three booster types: Falcon 9 (F9), Falcon Heavy core (FH core) boosters, and Falcon Heavy side (FH side) boosters. Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy side boosters are reconfigurable to each other. A Falcon Heavy core booster is manufactured with structural supports for the side boosters and cannot be converted to a Falcon 9 booster or Falcon Heavy side booster.[citation needed] The interstage mounting hardware was changed after B1056. The newer interstage design features fewer pins holding the interstage on, reducing the amount of work needed to convert a Falcon 9 booster to a Falcon Heavy side booster.[80]

Block 5 is the latest iteration of the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy boosters. Changes include a stronger heat shield, upgraded 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. A Block 5 booster can fly more than ten times. On 11 September 2022, during the Starlink 4-2 mission, B1058 was the first to complete fourteen launches and landings to become the fleet leader. B1052, first launched in April 2019 alongside with B1053, is the oldest and earliest launched of the active Falcon 9 boosters, and has completed 7 launches and landings as of 5 September 2022.[81] Amongst all B5 boosters, B1058 is the booster with most spacecrafts (779) launched to orbit and alongwith the record for most spacecraft mass launched to orbit by a single booster, that is, of ~190,000 kg (420,000 lb). As of 13 November 2022, SpaceX used a total of 22 new B5 boosters, of which 11 are no longer active (five have been expended and six have been lost due to failed landings or being lost during recovery).

Statistics

Main article: List of Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launches
Part of this section is transcluded from List of Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launches#Launch statistics. (edit | history)

Rockets from the Falcon 9 family have been launched 203 times over 13 years, resulting in 201 full mission successes (99%), one partial success (SpaceX CRS-1 delivered its cargo to the International Space Station (ISS), but a secondary payload was stranded in a lower-than-planned orbit), and one full failure (the SpaceX CRS-7 spacecraft was lost in flight in an explosion). Additionally, one rocket and its payload AMOS-6 were destroyed before launch in preparation for an on-pad static fire test. The currently active version, Falcon 9 Block 5, has flown 142 missions, all full successes.

On 20 October 2022, Falcon 9 set a new record of 48 launches (all successful) by the same launch vehicle type in a calendar year. The previous record was held by Soyuz-U, which had 47 launches (45 successful) in 1979.[207]

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 Falcon 9 Full Thrust 178 times from December 2015 to present. The latest Full Thrust variant, Block 5, was introduced in May 2018.[208] While the Block 4 boosters were only flown twice and required several months of refurbishment, Block 5 versions are designed to sustain 10 flights with just some inspections.[3]

The Falcon Heavy derivative consists of a strengthened Falcon 9 first stage as its center core, with two additional Falcon 9 first stages attached and used as boosters, both of which are fitted with an aerodynamic nosecone instead of a usual Falcon 9 interstage.[209]

Falcon 9 first-stage boosters landed successfully in 166 of 177 attempts (93.8%), with 138 out of 143 (96.5%) for the Falcon 9 Block 5 version. A total of 142 re-flights of first stage boosters have all successfully launched their payloads.

Booster turnaround time

This chart displays the turnaround time, in months, between two flights of each booster. As of April 2022 the shortest turnaround time was 21 days, for the sixth flight of B1062. Boosters that are still likely to be re-used (active fleet) are highlighted in bold and with an asterisk.

  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 have used a modified variant of Block 5 modules as side boosters.

Full Thrust booster flight counts

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. Blocks 1–3 made 27 flights with 18 boosters (1.5 flights per booster), Block 4 made 12 flights with 7 boosters (1.7 flights per booster). As of 19 January 2023, Block 5 made 142 flights with 22 boosters (6.5 flights per booster) with Falcon 9.

This timeline displays all launches of Falcon 9 boosters starting with the first launch of Full Thrust. Active boosters that are expected to make additional flights in the future are marked with an asterisk. Single flights are marked with vertical lines. For boosters having performed several launches bars indicate the turnaround time for each flight.

Notable boosters

Booster 0002 Grasshopper

Main article: Falcon 9 prototypes § Grasshopper
 
Grasshopper performing a 325-meter flight

Grasshopper consisted of "a Falcon 9 first-stage tank, a single Merlin-1D engine" with a height of 32 m (105 ft).[210]

Grasshopper began flight testing in September 2012 with a brief, three-second hop, followed by a second hop in November 2012 with an 8-second flight that took the testbed approximately 5.4 m (18 ft) off the ground, and a third flight in December 2012 of 29 seconds duration, with extended hover under rocket engine power, in which it ascended to an altitude of 40 m (130 ft) before descending under rocket power to come to a successful vertical landing.[211] Grasshopper made its eighth, and final, test flight on 7 October 2013, flying to an altitude of 744 m (2,441 ft) before making its eighth successful vertical landing.[212] Grasshopper is retired.[9]

Booster B1019

Falcon 9 B1019 was the first Full Thrust booster, and was first launched on 22 December 2015 for Falcon 9 flight 20 and landed on the Landing Zone 1 (LZ-1). It became the first orbital-class rocket booster to perform a successful return to launch site and vertical landing.[213][214][215]

SpaceX decided not to fly the B1019 again.[216] Rather, the rocket was moved a few miles north, refurbished by SpaceX at the adjacent Kennedy Space Center, to conduct a static fire test. This test aimed to assess the health of the recovered booster and the capability of this rocket design to fly repeatedly in the future.[217][213] The historic booster was eventually displayed outside SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne, California.

Booster 1021

Falcon 9 B1021 was the first booster to be re-flown and the first to land on a droneship. It was first launched on 8 April 2016 carrying a Dragon spacecraft and Bigelow Expandable Activity Module (BEAM) on the SpaceX CRS-8 mission and landed on an autonomous spaceport drone ship (ASDS). After recovery, inspections and refurbishing, it was launched again on 30 March 2017 for the SES-10 mission and recovered successfully a second time. This event marks a milestone in SpaceX's drive to develop reusable rockets and reduce launch costs.[26][218][219][220][221] Following the second flight, SpaceX stated that they plan to retire this booster and donate it to Cape Canaveral for public display.[222][223]

Booster 1046

Main article: Falcon 9 B1046

B1046 was the first Block 5 Falcon 9, the final version of the SpaceX first stage. It was first launched on 11 May 2018, carrying Bangabandhu-1, Bangladesh's first geostationary communications satellite. This marked the 54th flight of the Falcon 9 and the first flight of the Falcon 9 Block 5.[224] After completing a successful ascent, B1046 landed on the drone ship Of Course I Still Love You. After inspection and refurbishment, B1046 was launched a second time on 7 August 2018, carrying the Telkom-4 (Merah Putih) satellite. The Telkom-4 mission marked the first time an orbital-class rocket booster launched two GTO missions. This was also the first re-flight of a Block 5 booster.[225] Four months after the Telkom-4 mission, B1046 arrived at Vandenberg Air Force Base to support the SSO-A mission. Following delays for additional satellite checks,[226] liftoff occurred from SLC-4E on 3 December 2018. This marked the first time that the same orbital-class booster flew three times.[227] Its fourth and last mission launched a Crew Dragon capsule up to the point of maximum dynamic pressure, where it separated to test its abort system in flight, before being compromised by aerodynamic forces, as expected.

Booster 1048

Main article: Falcon 9 B1048

B1048 was the third Falcon 9 Block 5 to fly and the second Block 5 booster to re-fly, and the first booster ever to be launched four, then five times. During the last launch, an engine shut down seconds before the planned shutdown, becoming only the second time a Merlin engine failed since the failure during the SpaceX CRS-1 in October 2012. The primary mission was unaffected and the Starlink payload deployed successfully,[228] further confirming the reliability of the rocket due to redundancy of the engines. With reduced thrust, B1048 was unable to sufficiently slow down its descent, and thus was unable to land.[229]

Booster 1049

Main article: Falcon 9 B1049

B1049 was the oldest Falcon 9 booster on active duty until its last flight on Nov 22, 2022, after which this title went to B1052. It was the first to successfully launch and land six, then seven times, and the second to launch and land eight, nine, and then ten times respectively. It launched two commercial payloads, Telstar 18V and the eighth Iridium NEXT batch, and eight internal Starlink batches.[230] B1049 has been seen with its landing legs and grid fins removed indicating that it will be expended on its next flight. The final flight of B1049 was originally thought to be O3b mPower 4-6 but a regrouping of the launches meant that an expendable booster was no longer required. It was then originally planned that B1049's last flight would be the launch of Nilesat-301 however, plans changed and the mission was flown with a recoverable booster (B1062.7). B1049 flew the Eutelsat-10B communications satellite on November 22, 2022. This mission was its last flight.

Booster 1050

Main article: Falcon 9 Block 5 Booster B1050

B1050 launched for the first time on 5 December 2018.[231][232] A grid fin malfunction occurred shortly after the entry burn, resulting in the booster performing a controlled landing in the ocean instead of the planned ground pad landing.[233]

No future flights for B1050 were planned, and it was scrapped due to its damage.[234]

Booster 1051

Main article: Falcon 9 B1051

B1051 was the sixth Falcon 9 Block 5 booster built. It first flew on 2 March 2019, on the DM-1 mission. It then flew its second mission out of Vandenberg AFB launching the Radarsat constellation. It then flew 4 Starlink missions and launched SXM-7, totaling 5 flights in 2020 alone, and becoming the first Falcon 9 to launch a commercial payload on its seventh flight. On 18 December 2021, it flew for a record 11th time.[235] It was the first booster to be used eight, nine, ten, eleven, and twelve times respectively. It flew for the final time on 12 November 2022 for the Intelsat G-31/G-32 mission, and was expended.

Booster 1056

Falcon 9 B1058 was first launched on 30 May 2020, from Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 39A (Apollo 11 launch site). It carried NASA astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken to the International Space Station. It was the first crewed orbital spaceflight launched from the United States since the final Space Shuttle mission, and the first crewed flight test of Dragon 2. It was the first crewed orbital spaceflight by a private company. The booster was the first and only Falcon 9 booster to feature NASA's "worm logo", last used in 1992.[237] On 11 September 2022, it flew for the 14th time and became the first booster to be recovered 14 times.[238] On 17 December 2022, it was also the first booster to fly and land for the 15th time.

Booster 1061

Further information: SpaceX Crew-1 and SpaceX Crew-2

Falcon 9 B1061 first launched Crew-1 to the ISS in November 2020, the first operational flight of Crew Dragon, and landed on a drone ship.[239] It became the first booster to fly crew twice as well as the first reused booster to fly crew as a part of the Crew-2 mission.[240] This first stage went on to complete additional missions.[161] B1061 is the only booster to land on all of SpaceX’s different landing zones and drone ships, except LZ-2.

Booster 1062

Further information: Inspiration4

Falcon 9 B1062 launched Inspiration4 in 2021, operated by SpaceX on behalf of Shift4 Payments CEO Jared Isaacman.[241] The mission launched the Crew Dragon Resilience on 16 September 2021 at 00:02:56 UTC[a] from the Florida Kennedy Space Center's Launch Complex 39A atop a Falcon 9 launch vehicle, placed the Dragon capsule into low Earth orbit,[224] and ended successfully on 18 September 2021 at 23:06:49 UTC,[242] when the Resilience splashed down in the Atlantic Ocean. B1062 currently holds the record for the fastest booster turnaround time at 21 days and 4 hours between 8 April 2022 (Axiom-1) and 29th April 2022 (Starlink Group 4-16) beating the previous record of 27 days and 6 hours held by B1060. This was the first time a booster had flown twice in the same month. According to the SpaceX webcast of the Starlink Group 4-16 mission, the booster spent just 9 days in refurbishment.

Booster 1069

Falcon 9 B1069 launched SpaceX CRS-24 to ISS in December 2021 for NASA. SpaceX achieved the feat of 100 successful orbital rocket booster landings in this mission, coinciding with the 6th anniversary of its first booster landing. The rough seas led to the Octograbber robot not being able to secure the booster to the deck, leading to both the booster, dronseship and the Octagrabber robot being heavily damaged in transit.[243] It took months for SpaceX to refurbish B1069, returning into service only on Group 4-23 mission in August 2022.

On its next flight for Eutelsat Hotbird 13F, B1069 included a hosted promotional payload by FIFA, that was a box powered by starlink containing 2 Adidas Al Rihla (the Journey) balls, that were to be used in 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.[244] These match balls were launched and brought back by landing on the droneship surviving the stresses of the booster. Later, they were taken out and shipped back to Qatar for the world cup. This was actually the first payload on a Falcon 9 booster and thus showed the ease of reusability.[245]The balls' flight by SpaceX was, in part, a promotion for the company's Starlink satellite internet service. An associated website invited World Cup attendees to visit the Starlink office in Doha.[246]

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 expended Falcon 9 and three of them over 80 of the launch price of an expended 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 166 times out of 177 attempts including synchronized recoveries of the side boosters of the Falcon Heavy test flight Arabsat 6A USSF 44 USSF 67 and STP 2 missions One of the 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 36 recovered boosters have been refurbished and subsequently flown at least a second time the leading boosters have flown 13 to 15 missions SpaceX intentionally limited Block 3 and Block 4 boosters to flying only two missions each 1 2 but the company indicated in 2018 that they expected the Block 5 versions to achieve ten flights each with only minor refurbishment This milestone was first achieved by Booster B1051 on the Starlink 27 mission in 2021 3 All boosters in Block 4 and earlier have been retired expended or lost The last flight of a Block 4 booster was in June 2018 Since then all boosters in the active fleet are Block 5 Booster names are a B followed by a four digit number The first Falcon 9 version v1 0 had boosters B0001 to B0007 All following boosters were numbered

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 booster However as the boosters 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 drone ship Just Read the Instructions 1 None of these boosters were recovered or survived landing after an orbital

from List of Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launches Launch statistics edit history Rockets from the Falcon 9 family have been launched 203 times over 13 years resulting in 201 full mission successes 99 one partial success SpaceX CRS 1 delivered its cargo to the International Space Station ISS but a secondary payload was stranded in a lower than planned orbit and one full failure the SpaceX CRS 7 spacecraft was lost in flight in an explosion Additionally one rocket and its payload AMOS 6 were destroyed before launch in preparation for an on pad static fire test The currently active version Falcon 9 Block 5 has flown 142 missions all full successes On 20 October 2022 Falcon 9 set a new record of 48 launches all successful by the same launch vehicle type in a calendar year The previous record was held by Soyuz U which had 47 launches 45 successful in 1979 207 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 Falcon 9 Full Thrust 178 times from December 2015 to present The latest Full Thrust variant Block 5 was introduced in May 2018 208 While the Block 4 boosters were only flown twice and required several months of refurbishment Block 5 versions are designed to sustain 10 flights with just some inspections 3 The Falcon Heavy derivative consists of a strengthened Falcon 9 first stage as its center core with two additional Falcon 9 first stages attached and used as boosters both of which are fitted with an aerodynamic nosecone instead of a usual Falcon 9 interstage 209 Falcon 9 first stage boosters landed successfully in 166 of 177 attempts 93 8 with 138 out of 143 96 5 for the Falcon 9 Block 5 version A total of 142 re flights of first stage

Grasshopper consisted of a Falcon 9 first stage tank a single Merlin 1D engine with a height of 32 m 105 ft 210 Grasshopper began flight testing in September 2012 with a brief three second hop followed by a second hop in November 2012 with an 8 second flight that took the testbed approximately 5 4 m 18 ft off the ground and a third flight in December 2012 of 29 seconds duration with extended hover under rocket engine power in which it ascended to an altitude of 40 m 130 ft before descending under rocket power to come to a successful vertical landing 211 Grasshopper made its eighth and final test flight on 7 October 2013 flying to an altitude of 744 m 2 441 ft before making its eighth successful vertical landing 212 Grasshopper is retired 9 Booster B1019 Edit Falcon 9 B1019 immediately before landing on Landing Zone 1 Falcon 9 B1019 was the first Full Thrust booster and was first launched on 22 December 2015 for Falcon 9 flight 20 and landed on the Landing Zone 1 LZ 1 It became the first orbital class rocket booster to perform a successful return to launch site and vertical landing 213 214 215 SpaceX decided not to fly the B1019 again 216 Rather the rocket was moved a few miles north refurbished by SpaceX at the adjacent Kennedy Space Center to conduct a static fire test This test aimed to assess the health of the recovered booster and the capability of this rocket design to fly repeatedly in the future 217 213 The historic booster was eventually displayed outside SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne California Booster 1021 Edit Falcon 9 B1021 aboard the Of Course I Still Love You drone ship after landing from the SpaceX CRS 8 mission Falcon 9 B1021 was the first booster to be re flown and the first to land on a droneship It was first launched on 8 April 2016 carrying a Dragon spacecraft and Bigelow Expandable Activity Module BEAM on the SpaceX CRS 8 mission and landed on an autonomous spaceport drone ship ASDS After recovery inspections and refurbishing it was launched again on 30 March 2017 for the SES 10 mission and recovered successfully a second time This event marks a milestone in SpaceX s drive to develop reusable rockets and reduce launch costs 26 218 219 220 221 Following the second flight SpaceX stated that they plan to retire this booster and donate it to Cape Canaveral for public display 222 223 Booster 1046 Edit Main article Falcon 9 B1046 Falcon 9 B1046 standing on Just Read The Instructions after successfully launching and landing three times B1046 was the first Block 5 Falcon 9 the final version of the SpaceX first stage It was first launched on 11 May 2018 carrying Bangabandhu 1 Bangladesh s first geostationary communications satellite This marked the 54th flight of the Falcon 9 and the first flight of the Falcon 9 Block 5 224 After completing a successful ascent B1046 landed on the drone ship Of Course I Still Love You After inspection and refurbishment B1046 was launched a second time on 7 August 2018 carrying the Telkom 4 Merah Putih satellite The Telkom 4 mission marked the first time an orbital class rocket booster launched two GTO missions This was also the first re flight of a Block 5 booster 225 Four months after the Telkom 4 mission B1046 arrived at Vandenberg Air Force Base to support the SSO A mission Following delays for additional satellite checks 226 liftoff occurred from SLC 4E on 3 December 2018 This marked the first time that the same orbital class booster flew three times 227 Its fourth and last mission launched a Crew Dragon capsule up to the point of maximum dynamic pressure where it separated to test its abort system in flight before being compromised by aerodynamic forces as expected Booster 1048 Edit Main article Falcon 9 B1048 B1048 was the third Falcon 9 Block 5 to fly and the second Block 5 booster to re fly and the first booster ever to be launched four then five times During the last launch an engine shut down seconds before the planned shutdown becoming only the second time a Merlin engine failed since the failure during the SpaceX CRS 1 in October 2012 The primary mission was unaffected and the Starlink payload deployed successfully 228 further confirming the reliability of the rocket due to redundancy of the engines With reduced thrust B1048 was unable to sufficiently slow down its descent and thus was unable to land 229 Booster 1049 Edit Main article Falcon 9 B1049 B1049 was the oldest Falcon 9 booster on active duty until its last flight on Nov 22 2022 after which this title went to B1052 It was the first to successfully launch and land six then seven times and the second to launch and land eight nine and then ten times respectively It launched two commercial payloads Telstar 18V and the eighth Iridium NEXT batch and eight internal Starlink batches 230 B1049 has been seen with its landing legs and grid fins removed indicating that it will be expended on its next flight The final flight of B1049 was originally thought to be O3b mPower 4 6 but a regrouping of the launches meant that an expendable booster was no longer required It was then originally planned that B1049 s last flight would be the launch of Nilesat 301 however plans changed and the mission was flown with a recoverable booster B1062 7 B1049 flew the Eutelsat 10B communications satellite on November 22 2022 This mission was its last flight Booster 1050 Edit Main article Falcon 9 Block 5 Booster B1050 B1050 launched for the first time on 5 December 2018 231 232 A grid fin malfunction occurred shortly after the entry burn resulting in the booster performing a controlled landing in the ocean instead of the planned ground pad landing 233 No future flights for B1050 were planned and it was scrapped due to its damage 234 Booster 1051 Edit Main article Falcon 9 B1051 B1051 was the sixth Falcon 9 Block 5 booster built It first flew on 2 March 2019 on the DM 1 mission It then flew its second mission out of Vandenberg AFB launching the Radarsat constellation It then flew 4 Starlink missions and launched SXM 7 totaling 5 flights in 2020 alone and becoming the first Falcon 9 to launch a commercial payload on its seventh flight On 18 December 2021 it flew for a record 11th time 235 It was the first booster to be used eight nine ten eleven and twelve times respectively It flew for the final time on 12 November 2022 for the Intelsat G 31 G 32 mission and was expended Booster 1056 Edit Main article Falcon 9 B1056 First flight proven booster to fail landing 236 Booster 1058 Edit Further information Crew Dragon Demo 2 Falcon 9 B1058 and Dragon rolling out to the launch pad bearing the NASA worm logo Falcon 9 B1058 was first launched on 30 May 2020 from Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 39A Apollo 11 launch site It carried NASA astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken to the International Space Station It was the first crewed orbital spaceflight launched from the United States since the final Space Shuttle mission and the first crewed flight test of Dragon 2 It was the first crewed orbital spaceflight by a private company The booster was the first and only Falcon 9 booster to feature NASA s worm logo last used in 1992 237 On 11 September 2022 it flew for the 14th time and became the first booster to be recovered 14 times 238 On 17 December 2022 it was also the first booster to fly and land for the 15th time Booster 1061 Edit Further information SpaceX Crew 1 and SpaceX Crew 2 Falcon 9 B1061 first launched Crew 1 to the ISS in November 2020 the first operational flight of Crew Dragon and landed on a drone ship 239 It became the first booster to fly crew twice as well as the first reused booster to fly crew as a part of the Crew 2 mission 240 This first stage went on to complete additional missions 161 B1061 is the only booster to land on all of SpaceX s different landing zones and drone ships except LZ 2 Booster 1062 Edit Further information Inspiration4 Falcon 9 B1062 launched
