De izquierda a derecha: Falcon 9 v1.0 , v1.1 , v1.2 "Full Thrust" , Falcon 9 Block 5 , Falcon Heavy y Falcon Heavy Block 5.

Desde junio de 2010, los cohetes de la familia Falcon 9 se han lanzado 120 veces, con 118 misiones exitosas, una falla parcial y una pérdida total de naves espaciales. Además, un cohete y su carga útil fueron destruidos en la plataforma de lanzamiento durante el proceso de repostaje antes de una prueba de fuego estático.

Diseñada y operada por el fabricante privado SpaceX , la familia de cohetes Falcon 9 incluye las versiones retiradas Falcon 9 v1.0 , v1.1 y v1.2 "Full Thrust" Block 1 a 4, junto con la evolución actualmente activa del Block 5 . Falcon Heavy es un derivado de carga pesada del Falcon 9, que combina un núcleo central reforzado con dos primeras etapas del Falcon 9 como impulsores laterales. ^[1]

El diseño del Falcon presenta propulsores de primera etapa reutilizables , que aterrizan en una plataforma de tierra cerca del sitio de lanzamiento o en un barco de aviones no tripulados en el mar. ^[2] En diciembre de 2015, Falcon 9 se convirtió en el primer cohete en aterrizar propulsivamente después de entregar una carga útil a la órbita. ^[3] Se espera que este logro reduzca significativamente los costos de lanzamiento . ^{[4] Los} impulsores del núcleo de la familia Falcon han aterrizado con éxito 83 veces en 94 intentos. Un total de 26 refuerzos han volado varias misiones, con un récord de diez misiones por el mismo refuerzo.

Las misiones típicas de Falcon 9 incluyen entrega de carga y vuelos tripulados a la Estación Espacial Internacional (ISS) con las cápsulas Dragon y Dragon 2 , lanzamiento de satélites de comunicaciones y satélites de observación de la Tierra a órbitas de transferencia geoestacionaria (GTO) y órbitas terrestres bajas (LEO). algunos de ellos en inclinaciones polares. La carga útil más pesada lanzada a un LEO es un lote de 60 satélites Starlink que pesan un total de 15,600 kg (34,400 lb) y que SpaceX vuela regularmente, a una órbita de aproximadamente 290 km (180 millas). ^[5] La carga útil más pesada lanzada a unLa órbita de transferencia geoestacionaria (GTO) fue Intelsat 35e con 6.761 kg (14.905 lb). ^{[a] Los} lanzamientos a órbitas más altas han incluido la sonda del Observatorio del Clima del Espacio Profundo (DSCOVR) al punto L _{1 de} Lagrange entre el Sol y la Tierra , el telescopio espacial del Satélite de Estudio de Exoplanetas en Tránsito (TESS) en una trayectoria de sobrevuelo lunar y el vuelo de prueba Falcon Heavy que lanzó el Tesla Roadster de Elon Musk a una órbita heliocéntrica que se extiende más allá de la órbita de Marte .

Estadísticas de lanzamiento

Los cohetes de la familia Falcon 9 se lanzaron 120 veces durante 11 años, lo que resultó en 118 éxitos completos de la misión ( 98%), un éxito parcial ( SpaceX CRS-1 entregó su carga a la Estación Espacial Internacional (ISS), pero una carga útil secundaria quedó varado en una órbita más baja de lo planeado), y una falla (la nave espacial SpaceX CRS-7 se perdió en vuelo). Además, un cohete y su carga útil Amos-6 fueron destruidos antes del lanzamiento en preparación para una prueba de fuego estático en la plataforma .

La primera versión de cohete Falcon 9 v1.0 se lanzó cinco veces desde junio de 2010 hasta marzo de 2013, su sucesor Falcon 9 v1.1 15 veces desde septiembre de 2013 hasta enero de 2016, y la última actualización Falcon 9 Full Thrust 97 veces desde diciembre de 2015 a presente, 41 de los cuales utilizan un propulsor de primera etapa reacondicionado . Falcon Heavy se lanzó una vez en febrero de 2018, incorporando dos primeras etapas renovadas como impulsores laterales, y luego nuevamente en abril y junio de 2019, el vuelo de junio de 2019 reutilizó el refuerzo lateral del vuelo anterior. El último refuerzo "Block 4" que se producirá se lanzó en abril de 2018, y la primera versión del Block 5en mayo de 2018. Mientras que los propulsores del Bloque 4 solo volaron dos veces y requirieron varios meses de renovación, las versiones del Bloque 5 están diseñadas para soportar 10 vuelos con solo inspecciones. ^[6]

Los propulsores de la primera etapa del cohete aterrizaron con éxito en 83 de 94 intentos ( 88%), con 59 de 64 ( 92%) para la versión del Bloque 5.

	Primer vuelo de Falcon 9 v1.0. [11] Usó una versión estándar de la cápsula Dragon que no fue diseñada para separarse de la segunda etapa. ( más detalles a continuación ) Intenté recuperar la primera etapa lanzándola en paracaídas al océano, pero se quemó al volver a entrar, incluso antes de que los paracaídas se desplegaran. [12]
2	8 de diciembre de 2010, 15:43 [13]	F9 v1.0 [7] B0004.1 [8]	CCAFS , SLC-40	Vuelo de demostración de Dragon C1 (Dragon C101)		LEO ( ISS )	NASA ( COTS ) NRO	Éxito [9]	Fallo [9] [14] (paracaídas)
	Vuelo inaugural de la cápsula Dragon , que consta de más de 3 horas de pruebas de maniobra y reentrada del propulsor. [15] Intentó recuperar la primera etapa lanzándola en paracaídas al océano, pero se desintegró al volver a entrar, antes de que se desplegaran los paracaídas. [12] ( más detalles a continuación ) También incluía dos CubeSats , [16] y una rueda de queso Brouère .
3	22 de mayo de 2012, 07:44 [17]	F9 v1.0 [7] B0005.1 [8]	CCAFS , SLC-40	Vuelo de demostración Dragon C2 + [18] (Dragon C102)	525 kg (1.157 libras) [19]	LEO ( ISS )	NASA ( COTS )	Éxito [20]	Ningún intento
	La nave espacial Dragon hizo una serie de pruebas antes de que se le permitiera acercarse a la Estación Espacial Internacional . Dos días después, se convirtió en la primera nave espacial comercial en abordar la ISS. [17] ( más detalles a continuación )
4	8 de octubre de 2012, 00:35 [21]	F9 v1.0 [7] B0006.1 [8]	CCAFS , SLC-40	SpaceX CRS-1 [22] (Dragon C103)	4.700 kg (10400 libras)	LEO ( ISS )	NASA ( CRS )	Éxito	Ningún intento
				Orbcomm-OG2 [23]	172 kg (379 libras) [24]	LEÓN	Orbcomm	Fallo parcial [25]
	CRS-1 tuvo éxito, pero la carga útil secundaria se insertó en una órbita anormalmente baja y posteriormente se perdió. Esto se debió a que uno de los nueve motores Merlin se apagó durante el lanzamiento, y la NASA rechazó un segundo reencendido, según las reglas de seguridad del vehículo visitante de la ISS , el propietario de la carga útil principal está autorizado contractualmente a rechazar un segundo reencendido. La NASA declaró que esto se debía a que SpaceX no podía garantizar una probabilidad lo suficientemente alta de que la segunda etapa completara la segunda combustión con éxito, lo que era necesario para evitar cualquier riesgo de colisión de la carga útil secundaria con la ISS. [26] [27] [28]
5	1 de marzo de 2013 a las 15:10	F9 v1.0 [7] B0007.1 [8]	CCAFS , SLC-40	SpaceX CRS-2 [22] (Dragon C104)	4.877 kg (10.752 libras)	LEO ( ISS )	NASA ( CRS )	Éxito	Ningún intento
	Último lanzamiento del vehículo de lanzamiento Falcon 9 v1.0 original , primer uso de la sección del maletero sin presión de Dragon. [29]
6	29 de septiembre de 2013, 16:00 [30]	F9 v1.1 [7] B1003 [8]	VAFB , SLC-4E	CASSIOPE [22] [31]	500 kg (1.100 libras)	Órbita polar LEO	MDA	Éxito [30]	Sin control (océano) [d]
	Primera misión comercial con un cliente privado, primer lanzamiento desde Vandenberg y vuelo de demostración del Falcon 9 v1.1 con una capacidad mejorada de 13 toneladas a LEO. [29] Después de la separación de la segunda etapa que transportaba satélites comerciales y científicos canadienses, el refuerzo de la primera etapa realizó una reentrada controlada, [32] y una prueba de toma de contacto con el océano por primera vez. Esto proporcionó buenos datos de prueba, a pesar de que el propulsor comenzó a rodar a medida que se acercaba al océano, lo que provocó el apagado del motor central cuando el giro lo agotó de combustible, lo que resultó en un fuerte impacto con el océano. [30]Este fue el primer intento conocido de encender un motor de cohete para realizar una retropropulsión supersónica, y permitió a SpaceX entrar en una asociación público-privada con la NASA y sus proyectos de investigación de tecnologías de entrada, descenso y aterrizaje en Marte. [33] ( más detalles a continuación )
7	3 de diciembre de 2013, 22:41 [34]	F9 v1.1 B1004	CCAFS , SLC-40	SES-8 [22] [35] [36]	3,170 kg (6,990 libras)	GTO	SES	Éxito [37]	Ningún intento [38]
	Primer lanzamiento de la órbita de transferencia geoestacionaria (GTO) para Falcon 9, [35] y primer reencendido exitoso de la segunda etapa. [39] El SES-8 se insertó en una Órbita de Transferencia Super-Sincrónica de 79.341 km (49.300 millas) en apogeo con una inclinación de 20,55 ° con respecto al ecuador .

2014

Con seis lanzamientos, SpaceX se convirtió en la segunda empresa estadounidense más prolífica en términos de lanzamientos en 2014, detrás de los cohetes Atlas V. ^[40]

	El satélite de comunicaciones tailandés fue el segundo lanzamiento de GTO para Falcon 9. La USAF evaluó los datos de lanzamiento de este vuelo como parte de un programa de certificación separado para que SpaceX calificara para volar cargas útiles militares, pero descubrió que el lanzamiento tenía "reservas de combustible inaceptables en el corte del motor del segundo quemado de la etapa 2 ". [44] Thaicom-6 se insertó en una órbita de transferencia superincrónica de 90.039 km (55.948 millas) en apogeo con una inclinación de 22,46 ° con respecto al ecuador .
9	18 de abril de 2014, 19:25 [21]	F9 v1.1	Cabo Cañaveral , LC-40	SpaceX CRS-3 [22] (Dragon C105)	2.296 kg (5.062 libras) [45]	LEO ( ISS )	NASA ( CRS )	Éxito	Controlado (océano) [d] [46]
	Después de la separación de la segunda etapa, SpaceX realizó una segunda prueba de descenso controlado del vehículo propulsor descartado y logró el primer aterrizaje exitoso controlado en el océano de un propulsor orbital con motor de cohete líquido. [47] [48] Después del aterrizaje suave, la primera etapa se volcó como se esperaba y fue destruida. Este fue el primer propulsor Falcon 9 en volar con patas de aterrizaje extensibles y la primera misión Dragon con el vehículo de lanzamiento Falcon 9 v1.1 . Este vuelo también lanzó la misión ELaNa 5 para la NASA como carga útil secundaria. [49] [50]
10	14 de julio de 2014 a las 15:15	F9 v1.1	Cabo Cañaveral , LC-40	Orbcomm-OG2 -1 (6 satélites) [22]	1.316 kg (2.901 libras)	LEÓN	Orbcomm	Éxito [51]	Controlado (océano) [d] [46]
	La carga útil incluyó seis satélites que pesaban 172 kg (379 lb) cada uno y dos simuladores de masa de 142 kg (313 lb). [24] [52] Equipado por segunda vez con patas de aterrizaje , el propulsor de primera etapa realizó con éxito una prueba de descenso controlado que consistía en una quemadura para desacelerar desde la velocidad hipersónica en la atmósfera superior, una quemadura de reentrada y una quemadura de aterrizaje final. antes de aterrizar suavemente en la superficie del océano. [53]
11	5 de Agosto de 2014 a las 08:00	F9 v1.1	Cabo Cañaveral , LC-40	AsiaSat 8 [22] [54] [55]	4.535 kg (9.998 libras)	GTO	AsiaSat	Éxito [56]	Ningún intento [57]
	La primera vez que SpaceX logró un cambio de sitio de lanzamiento entre dos vuelos de menos de un mes (22 días). El lanzamiento de GTO del gran satélite de comunicaciones desde Hong Kong no permitió el retorno de propulsión sobre el agua ni el amerizaje controlado de la primera etapa. [57]
12	7 de Septiembre de 2014 a las 05:00	F9 v1.1 B1011 [8]	Cabo Cañaveral , LC-40	AsiaSat 6 [22] [54] [58]	4.428 kg (9.762 libras)	GTO	AsiaSat	Éxito [59]	Ningún intento
	El lanzamiento se retrasó dos semanas para verificaciones adicionales después de un mal funcionamiento observado en el desarrollo del prototipo F9R Dev1 . [60] El lanzamiento de GTO de la carga útil pesada no permitió el aterrizaje controlado. [61]
13	21 de septiembre de 2014, 05:52 [21]	F9 v1.1 B1010 [8]	Cabo Cañaveral , LC-40	SpaceX CRS-4 [22] (Dragon C106 .1)	2.216 kg (4.885 libras) [62]	LEO ( ISS )	NASA ( CRS )	Éxito [63]	Sin control (océano) [d] [64]
	Cuarto intento de aterrizaje suave en el océano, [65] pero el refuerzo se quedó sin oxígeno líquido. [64] Sin embargo, la NASA recopiló datos detallados de sensores infrarrojos de imágenes térmicas , como parte de un acuerdo conjunto con SpaceX como parte de la investigación sobre tecnologías de desaceleración retropropulsiva para desarrollar nuevos enfoques para la entrada en la atmósfera marciana . [sesenta y cinco]

2015

Con 7 lanzamientos en 2015, Falcon 9 era el cohete estadounidense segundos más lanzado detrás Atlas V . ^[66]

	Después de la separación de la segunda etapa, SpaceX intentó devolver la primera etapa por primera vez a una plataforma flotante de 90 m × 50 m (300 pies × 160 pies) , llamada nave autónoma de aviones no tripulados del puerto espacial . La prueba logró muchos objetivos y arrojó una gran cantidad de datos, pero las superficies de control con aletas de rejilla utilizadas por primera vez para un posicionamiento de reentrada más preciso se quedaron sin fluido hidráulico para su sistema de control un minuto antes del aterrizaje, lo que provocó un accidente de aterrizaje. [71]
15	11 de febrero de 2015, 23:03 [72]	F9 v1.1 B1013 [8]	Cabo Cañaveral , LC-40	DSCOVR [68] [73]	570 kg (1260 libras)	HEO ( inserción Sol-Tierra L 1 )	USAF NASA NOAA	Éxito	Controlado (océano) [d]
	Primer lanzamiento bajo el contrato de lanzamiento OSP 3 de la USAF . [74] Primer lanzamiento de SpaceX para poner un satélite más allá de una órbita de transferencia geoestacionaria, primer lanzamiento de SpaceX al espacio interplanetario y primer lanzamiento de SpaceX de un satélite de investigación estadounidense. La primera etapa hizo un descenso de vuelo de prueba a un aterrizaje sobre el océano dentro de los 10 m (33 pies) de su objetivo previsto. [75]
dieciséis	2 de marzo de 2015, 03:50 [21] [76]	F9 v1.1 B1014 [8]	Cabo Cañaveral , LC-40	ABS-3A Eutelsat 115 Oeste B [68]	4.159 kg (9.169 libras)	GTO	abdominales Eutelsat	Éxito	Ningún intento [77]
	El lanzamiento fue el primer lanzamiento conjunto de Boeing de una pila de comunicación dual más liviana que fue diseñada específicamente para aprovechar el vehículo de lanzamiento SpaceX Falcon 9 de menor costo . [78] [79] Por satélite, los costos de lanzamiento fueron inferiores a 30 millones de dólares estadounidenses. [80] El satélite ABS llegó a su destino final antes de lo previsto y comenzó a funcionar el 10 de septiembre de 2015. [81]
17	14 de abril de 2015, 20:10 [21]	F9 v1.1 B1015 [8]	Cabo Cañaveral , LC-40	SpaceX CRS-6 [68] (Dragon C108.1 )	1.898 kg (4.184 libras) [82]	LEO ( ISS )	NASA ( CRS )	Éxito	Fallo [83] (barco de aviones no tripulados)
	Después de la separación de la segunda etapa, se intentó una prueba de descenso controlado con la primera etapa. Después de que el propulsor entró en contacto con el barco, se volcó debido al exceso de velocidad lateral causado por una válvula de mariposa atascada que retrasó la aceleración en el momento correcto. [84] [85]
18	27 de abril de 2015, 23:03 [86]	F9 v1.1 B1016 [8]	Cabo Cañaveral , LC-40	TürkmenÄlem 52 ° E / MonacoSAT [68] [87]	4.707 kg (10.377 libras)	GTO	Agencia Espacial Nacional de Turkmenistán [88]	Éxito	Ningún intento [89]
	El lanzamiento previsto originalmente se retrasó más de un mes después de que se identificara un problema con el sistema de presurización de helio en piezas similares en la planta de ensamblaje. [90] El lanzamiento posterior posicionó con éxito este primer satélite turcomano a 52,0 ° este.
19	28 de junio de 2015, 14:21 [21] [91]	F9 v1.1 B1018 [8]	Cabo Cañaveral , LC-40	SpaceX CRS-7 [68] (Dragon C109)	1.952 kg (4.303 libras) [92]	LEO ( ISS )	NASA ( CRS )	Fallo [93] (en vuelo)	Excluido [94] (barco de aviones no tripulados)
	El rendimiento de lanzamiento fue nominal hasta que se produjo un incidente de sobrepresión en el tanque LOX de la segunda etapa , lo que provocó la ruptura del vehículo en T + 150 segundos. La cápsula Dragon sobrevivió a la explosión, pero se perdió al aterrizar, ya que su software no contenía disposiciones para el despliegue de paracaídas en caso de falla del vehículo de lanzamiento. [95] ( más detalles a continuación ) El barco de drones Por supuesto que todavía te amo fue remolcado al mar para prepararse para una prueba de aterrizaje, por lo que esta misión fue su primera asignación operativa. [96]
20	22 de diciembre de 2015, 01:29 [97]	F9 FT B1019.1 [98]	Cabo Cañaveral , LC-40	Orbcomm-OG2 -2 (11 satélites) [22] [97]	2.034 kg (4.484 libras)	LEÓN	Orbcomm	Éxito	Éxito [99] (plataforma de tierra)
	La carga útil incluyó once satélites que pesaban 172 kg (379 lb) cada uno, [24] y un simulador de masas de 142 kg (313 lb). [52] Primer lanzamiento de la versión mejorada v1.1, con un aumento de potencia del 30%. [100] Orbcomm había acordado originalmente ser el tercer vuelo del cohete de empuje mejorado, [101] pero el cambio a la posición de vuelo inaugural se anunció en octubre de 2015. [100] SpaceX recibió un permiso de la FAA para aterrizar el propulsor. en tierra firme en Cabo Cañaveral [102] y lo logró por primera vez. [99] Este amplificador , número de serie B1019, está ahora en exhibición permanente fuera de la sede de SpaceX en Hawthorne, California , en la intersección de Crenshaw Boulevard y Jack Northrop Avenue. [98] ( más detalles a continuación )

2016

Con 8 lanzamientos exitosos para 2016, SpaceX igualó Atlas V para la mayoría de los lanzamientos de cohetes estadounidenses durante el año. ^[103]

	Primer lanzamiento de la misión científica conjunta de NASA y NOAA bajo el contrato de lanzamiento NLS II (no relacionado con los contratos de NASA CRS o USAF OSP3) y último lanzamiento del vehículo de lanzamiento Falcon 9 v1.1. El satélite Jason-3 se implementó con éxito en la órbita objetivo. [105] SpaceX intentó por primera vez recuperar el propulsor de la primera etapa en su nueva nave autónoma de aviones no tripulados del Pacífico, pero después de un aterrizaje suave en la nave, el bloqueo en una de las patas de aterrizaje no pudo engancharse y el propulsor se cayó y explotó. [106] [107]
22	4 de marzo de 2016, 23:35 [21]	F9 FT B1020.1 [108]	Cabo Cañaveral , LC-40	SES-9 [68] [109] [110]	5.271 kg (11.621 libras)	GTO	SES	Éxito	Fallo (barco de drones)
	Segundo lanzamiento del vehículo de lanzamiento mejorado Falcon 9 Full Thrust . [100] SpaceX intentó por primera vez recuperar un propulsor de un lanzamiento de GTO a una nave no tripulada . [111] No se esperaba un aterrizaje exitoso debido a las escasas reservas de combustible [112] y el propulsor "aterrizó con fuerza". [113] Pero el descenso controlado, el reingreso atmosférico y la navegación al barco de drones fueron exitosos y arrojaron datos de prueba significativos sobre la recuperación de propulsores Falcon 9 de alta energía. [114]
23	8 de abril de 2016, 20:43 [21]	F9 FT B1021.1 [115]	Cabo Cañaveral , LC-40	SpaceX CRS-8 [68] [110] (Dragon C110.1)	3,136 kg (6,914 libras) [116]	LEO ( ISS )	NASA ( CRS )	Éxito [117]	Éxito [118] (barco de aviones no tripulados)
	Dragon transportó más de 1500 kg (3300 lb) de suministros y entregó el módulo de actividad expandible (BEAM) de Bigelow inflable a la ISS para dos años de pruebas en órbita. [119] La primera etapa del cohete aterrizó sin problemas en la nave autónoma del puerto espacial de SpaceX 9 minutos después del despegue, lo que lo convirtió en el primer aterrizaje exitoso de un cohete propulsor en una nave en el mar desde un lanzamiento orbital. [120] La primera etapa B1021 se convirtió más tarde en el primer propulsor orbital que se reutilizó cuando lanzó SES-10 el 30 de marzo de 2017. [115] Un mes después, la nave espacial Dragon devolvió una masa descendente que contenía muestras biológicas de Scott Kelly del astronauta de su año. larga misión en la EEI.[121] ( más detalles a continuación )
24	6 de mayo de 2016, 05:21 [21]	F9 FT B1022.1 [122]	Cabo Cañaveral , LC-40	JCSAT-14 [123]	4.696 kg (10.353 libras) [124]	GTO	SKY Perfect Grupo JSAT	Éxito	Éxito (barco de drones)
	La primera vez que SpaceX lanzó un satélite japonés y la primera vez que un propulsor aterrizó con éxito después de lanzar una carga útil en un GTO. [125] Como este perfil de vuelo tiene un margen más pequeño para la recuperación del propulsor, la primera etapa volvió a entrar en la atmósfera de la Tierra más rápido que en los aterrizajes anteriores, con cinco veces la potencia de calentamiento. [126] [127]
25	27 de mayo de 2016, 21:39 [128]	F9 FT B1023.1 [129]	Cabo Cañaveral , LC-40	Thaicom 8 [130] [131]	3.100 kg (6.800 libras) [132]	GTO	Thaicom	Éxito	Éxito [133] (barco de aviones no tripulados)
	Segundo regreso exitoso de un lanzamiento de GTO, [134] después de lanzar Thaicom 8 hacia 78.5 ° este . [135] Más tarde se convirtió en el primer propulsor que se reajustó tras ser recuperado de un lanzamiento de GTO. THAICOM 8 se entregó a una órbita de transferencia superincrónica de 91.000 km (57.000 millas). [136]
26	15 de junio de 2016, 14:29 [21]	F9 FT B1024.1 [108]	Cabo Cañaveral , LC-40	ABS-2A Eutelsat 117 Oeste B [68]	3.600 kg (7900 libras)	GTO	abdominales Eutelsat	Éxito	Fallo [64] (barco de aviones no tripulados)
	Un año después de ser pionero en esta técnica en el Vuelo 16, Falcon volvió a lanzar dos satélites de propulsión de iones en cuadrícula Boeing 702SP a 1.800 kg (4.000 lb) cada uno, [137] [138] en una configuración de doble pila, con los dos clientes compartiendo el cohete y costos de la misión. [81] El intento de aterrizaje de la primera etapa en un barco no tripulado falló debido al bajo empuje en uno de los tres motores de aterrizaje; [139] una ruta subóptima llevó al escenario a quedarse sin propulsor justo encima de la cubierta del barco de desembarco.

[147] La plataforma estaba libre de personal y no hubo heridos. [148] SpaceX emitió una declaración oficial en enero de 2017 indicando que la causa de la falla fue un revestimiento abrochado en varios de los recipientes a presión con envoltura compuesta (COPV) (utilizados para almacenar helio que presuriza los tanques de propulsor de la etapa), lo que provocó perforaciones que permitieron oxígeno líquido y / o sólido para acumularse debajo del revestimiento, que se encendió por fricción. [149] Después de la explosión, SpaceX ha cambiado a realizar pruebas de fuego estático solo sin cargas útiles adjuntas.( más detalles a continuación )

	Para evitar retrasos y convencido de que no había mayores riesgos, Iridium Communications aceptó el uso de un propulsor recuperado para sus 10 satélites y se convirtió en el primer cliente en volar el mismo propulsor de primera etapa dos veces (de la segunda misión Iridium NEXT). [231] [232] SpaceX decidió no intentar la recuperación del propulsor, pero realizó un aterrizaje suave en el océano. [233] El lanzamiento se produjo durante la puesta de sol, lo que provocó un efecto crepuscular en el que la luz del sol se reflejaba en las columnas de cohetes a gran altitud, lo que provocaba "vistas asombrosas" del sur de California y las regiones circundantes. [234]

2018

En noviembre de 2017, Gwynne Shotwell esperaba aumentar la cadencia de lanzamiento en 2018 en aproximadamente un 50% en comparación con 2017, nivelando a una tasa de aproximadamente 30 a 40 por año, sin incluir los lanzamientos para la constelación de satélites SpaceX planeada Starlink . ^[235] La tasa de lanzamiento real aumentó en un 17% de 18 en 2017 a 21 en 2018, lo que le dio a SpaceX la segunda mayor cantidad de lanzamientos del año para una familia de cohetes, detrás de la Gran Marcha de China . ^[236] Falcon Heavy realizó su primer vuelo.

	La misión se había pospuesto casi dos meses. Después de un lanzamiento nominal, la recuperación del refuerzo de la primera etapa marcó la decimoséptima recuperación exitosa consecutiva. [242] Aparecieron rumores de que la carga útil se había perdido, ya que el satélite podría no haberse separado de la segunda etapa [243] debido a una falla en el adaptador de carga útil fabricado por Northrop Grumman, al que SpaceX anunció que su cohete funcionaba nominalmente. [243] La naturaleza clasificada de la misión significa que hay poca información confirmada. ( más detalles a continuación )

	El propulsor reutilizado de la misión clasificada NROL-76 en mayo de 2017. [245] Tras un aterrizaje suave experimental en el océano que utilizó tres motores, el propulsor permaneció inesperadamente intacto. Se habló de la recuperación y un anuncio de Craigslist que se cree que fue hecho por Elon Musk dijo en broma que el refuerzo estaba a la venta en US $ 9,9 millones si el comprador traía su propio remolcador . [249] A pesar de esto, no se intentó la recuperación y posteriormente se destruyó el refuerzo. [250] El satélite GovSat-1 fue puesto en una Órbita de Transferencia Supersincrónica de alta energía de 250 km × 51,500 km (160 mi × 32,000 mi). [251] [252]

La prueba de fuego estático, celebrada el 24 de enero de 2018, fue la primera vez que se probaron 27 motores juntos. [259] El lanzamiento fue un éxito, y los propulsores laterales aterrizaron simultáneamente en plataformas de tierra adyacentes. [257] El aterrizaje de un barco no tripulado del núcleo central falló debido a TEA - TEBel encendedor químico se está agotando, lo que impide que dos de sus motores se reinicien; la falla del aterrizaje causó daños al barco de aviones no tripulados cercano. [260] [261] La combustión final a la órbita heliocéntrica Tierra-Marte se realizó después de la segunda etapa y la carga útil navegó durante 6 horas a través de los cinturones de radiación de Van Allen . [262] Más tarde, Elon Musk tuiteó que la tercera quema fue exitosa, [263] y el sistema de efemérides en línea JPL Horizons mostró la segunda etapa y la carga útil en una órbita con un afelio de 1,67 AU . [264] La transmisión web en vivo resultó inmensamente popular, ya que se convirtió en la segunda transmisión en vivo más vista hasta ahora en YouTube., alcanzando más de 2,3 millones de visualizaciones simultáneas.

La masa de carga útil total fue de 3.700 kg (8.200 lb).[459] La misión duró seis horas durante las cuales la segunda etapa se encendió cuatro veces y entró en diferentes órbitas para desplegar satélites, incluida una "maniobra de propulsión pasivante". [456] [460] Tercer vuelo de Falcon Heavy. Los propulsores laterales de la misión Arabsat-6A solo 2,5 meses antes se reutilizaron en este vuelo y regresaron con éxito a LZ-1 y LZ-2. [420] El núcleo central, en uso por primera vez, experimentó la reentrada más enérgica intentada por SpaceX e intentó un aterrizaje a más de 1.200 km (750 millas) hacia abajo, un 30% más que cualquier aterrizaje anterior. [461] Este núcleo sufrió una falla en el control del vector de empuje en el motor central causada por una brecha en el compartimiento del motor debido al calor extremo. Por lo tanto, el núcleo falló en su intento de aterrizaje en el barco no tripulado Of Course I Still Love You debido a la falta de control cuando los motores externos se apagaron. [462]Por primera vez, una mitad del carenado aterrizó con éxito en la red de la nave de apoyo GO Ms. Tree (anteriormente Mr. Steven ). [463]

	Este lanzamiento llevó casi 9.000 cargas útiles individuales, incluidas más de una tonelada de experimentos científicos, la mayoría hasta ahora lanzada en un SpaceX Dragon . El tercer adaptador de acoplamiento internacional (IDA-3), un reemplazo del primer IDA perdido durante la anomalía de lanzamiento del CRS-7 , fue una de las cargas útiles externas en esta misión. [466] Junto con los alimentos y la ciencia, el Dragon también llevó el ELaNa 27 RFTSat CubeSat [467] y el MakerSat-1, que se utilizarán para demostrar la fabricación aditiva de microgravedad. Se espera que el satélite sea lanzado por un dispensador Cygnus a finales de julio de 2019. El refuerzo utilizado en este vuelo fue el mismo que se utilizó en CRS-17 a principios de año; originalmente, se planeó reutilizarlo nuevamente para la misión CRS-19 a finales de este año, [468] pero el plan fue desechado. Por primera vez, la nave espacial Dragon, que ha volado dos veces, también realizó un tercer vuelo. [469] También se usó por primera vez una banda gris pintada donde se encuentra el tanque de queroseno RP-1 , para ayudar con la conductividad térmica y así ahorrar combustible durante largas costas.

This was the third Falcon 9 launch for JSAT and the previous two were in 2016. SpaceX successfully landed B1056.3 but both fairing halves missed the recovery boats Ms. Tree and Ms. Chief.[489]

2020

In late 2019, Gwynne Shotwell stated that SpaceX hoped for as many as 24 launches for Starlink satellites in 2020,^[490] in addition to 14 or 15 non-Starlink launches. At 26 launches, 13 of which for Starlink satellites, Falcon 9 had its most prolific year, and Falcon rockets were second most prolific rocket family of 2020, only behind China's Long March rocket family.^[491]

	Third large batch and second operational flight of Starlink constellation. One of the 60 satellites included a test coating to make the satellite less reflective, and thus less likely to interfere with ground-based astronomical observations.[492]
79	19 January 2020, 15:30[493]	F9 B5 ♺ B1046.4	KSC, LC-39A	Crew Dragon in-flight abort test[494] (Dragon C205.1)	12,050 kg (26,570 lb)	Sub-orbital[495]	NASA (CTS)[496]	Success	No attempt
	An atmospheric test of the Dragon 2 abort system after Max Q. The capsule fired its SuperDraco engines, reached an apogee of 40 km (25 mi), deployed parachutes after reentry, and splashed down in the ocean 31 km (19 mi) downrange from the launch site. The test was previously slated to be accomplished with the Crew Dragon Demo-1 capsule;[497] but that test article exploded during a ground test of SuperDraco engines on 20 April 2019.[419] The abort test used the capsule originally intended for the first crewed flight.[498] As expected, the booster was destroyed by aerodynamic forces after the capsule aborted.[499] First flight of a Falcon 9 with only one functional stage — the second stage had a mass simulator in place of its engine.
80	29 January 2020, 14:07[500]	F9 B5 ♺ B1051.3	CCAFS, SLC-40	Starlink 3 v1.0 (60 satellites)	15,600 kg (34,400 lb)[5]	LEO	SpaceX	Success	Success (drone ship)
	Third operational and fourth large batch of Starlink satellites, deployed in a circular 290 km (180 mi) orbit. One of the fairing halves was caught, while the other was fished out of the ocean.[501]
81	17 February 2020, 15:05[502]	F9 B5 ♺ B1056.4	CCAFS, SLC-40	Starlink 4 v1.0 (60 satellites)	15,600 kg (34,400 lb)[5]	LEO	SpaceX	Success	Failure (drone ship)
	Fourth operational and fifth large batch of Starlink satellites. Used a new flight profile which deployed into a 212 km × 386 km (132 mi × 240 mi) elliptical orbit instead of launching into a circular orbit and firing the second stage engine twice. The first stage booster failed to land on the drone ship[503] due to incorrect wind data.[504] This was the first time a flight proven booster failed to land.
82	7 March 2020, 04:50[505]	F9 B5 ♺ B1059.2	CCAFS, SLC-40	SpaceX CRS-20 (Dragon C112.3 ♺)	1,977 kg (4,359 lb)[506]	LEO (ISS)	NASA (CRS)	Success	Success (ground pad)
	Last launch of phase 1 of the CRS contract. Carries Bartolomeo, an ESA platform for hosting external payloads onto ISS.[507] Originally scheduled to launch on 2 March 2020, the launch date was pushed back due to a second stage engine failure. SpaceX decided to swap out the second stage instead of replacing the faulty part.[508] It was SpaceX's 50th successful landing of a first stage booster, the third flight of the Dragon C112 and the last launch of the cargo Dragon spacecraft.
83	18 March 2020, 12:16[509]	F9 B5 ♺ B1048.5	KSC, LC-39A	Starlink 5 v1.0 (60 satellites)	15,600 kg (34,400 lb)[5]	LEO	SpaceX	Success	Failure (drone ship)
	Fifth operational launch of Starlink satellites. It was the first time a first stage booster flew for a fifth time and the second time the fairings were reused (Starlink flight in May 2019).[510] Towards the end of the first stage burn, the booster suffered premature shut down of an engine, the first of a Merlin 1D variant and first since the CRS-1 mission in October 2012. However, the payload still reached the targeted orbit.[511] This was the second Starlink launch booster landing failure in a row, later revealed to be caused by residual cleaning fluid trapped inside a sensor.[512]
84	22 April 2020, 19:30[513]	F9 B5 ♺ B1051.4	KSC, LC-39A	Starlink 6 v1.0 (60 satellites)	15,600 kg (34,400 lb)[5]	LEO	SpaceX	Success	Success (drone ship)
	Sixth operational launch of Starlink satellites. The 84th flight of the Falcon 9 rocket, it surpassed Atlas V to become the most-flown operational US rocket.[514] Used fairings launched on AMOS-17 (August 2019).[515]
85	30 May 2020, 19:22[516]	F9 B5 B1058.1[517]	KSC, LC-39A	Crew Dragon Demo-2[414] (Crew Dragon C206.1 Endeavour)	12,530 kg (27,620 lb)[518]	LEO (ISS)	NASA (CCDev)	Success	Success (drone ship)
	First crewed orbital spaceflight from American soil since Space Shuttle STS-135 in July 2011, carrying NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley to the International Space Station.[414] The SpaceX live stream was peaked at 4.1 million viewers, while NASA estimated roughly 10 million people watched on various online platforms, and approximately 150,000 people gathered on Florida's space coast despite the risks of the COVID-19 pandemic.[519]
86	4 June 2020, 01:25[520]	F9 B5 ♺ B1049.5	CCAFS, SLC-40	Starlink 7 v1.0 (60 satellites)	15,600 kg (34,400 lb)[5]	LEO	SpaceX	Success	Success (drone ship)
	Seventh operational launch of Starlink satellites, occurred on the 10th anniversary of the first Falcon 9 flight. Included "VisorSat" satellite test that uses a sunshade to limit reflectivity.[521] First booster to successfully land five times, and first to land on Just Read The Instructions since it was moved to the East Coast.
87	13 June 2020, 09:21[522]	F9 B5 ♺ B1059.3	CCAFS, SLC-40	Starlink 8 v1.0 (58 satellites),[523][524] SkySats-16, -17, -18	15,410 kg (33,970 lb)[522]	LEO	SpaceX Planet Labs	Success	Success (drone ship)
	Eighth operational launch of Starlink satellites, included the first rideshare in SpaceX's SmallSat Program, of three SkySat satellites.[525][526] One payload fairing half launched on JCSat-18 / Kacific 1 mission in December 2019. The other payload fairing half flew on Starlink 2 v1.0 in January 2020.[527] For the first time, SpaceX did not perform a static fire before launch.
88	30 June 2020, 20:10:46[528]	F9 B5 B1060.1	CCAFS, SLC-40	GPS III-03 (Matthew Henson)	4,311 kg (9,504 lb)[529]	MEO	U.S. Space Force[529]	Success	Success (drone ship)
	Payload manufacturing contract awarded January 2012,[530] fully assembled in August 2017,[531][532] and completed thermal vacuum testing in June 2018.[533] Launch contract was awarded initially for US$96.5 million,[534] but later, this was discounted in exchange for allowing to launch configuration enabling booster recovery.[535] The vehicle nicknamed Columbus was transported to Florida in February 2020,[536] but launch was delayed by the customer from April 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[537] The launch was dedicated to the memory of the recently deceased, late commander of the 21st Space Wing, Colonel Thomas G. Falzarano,[538][539] and after launch, in October 2020, the nickname was changed to that of the Arctic explorer Matthew Henson.[540][390] The second stage featured a gray band to allow more heat to be absorbed during the longer coasting period,[541] while both fairings were recovered out of the water without attempting a catch in the net.
89	20 July 2020, 21:30[542]	F9 B5 ♺ B1058.2[543]	CCAFS, SLC-40	ANASIS-II	5,000–6,000 kg (11,000–13,000 lb)	GTO	Republic of Korea Army	Success	Success (drone ship)
	At 5-6 tonnes, the satellite formerly known as K-Milsat-1 is South Korea's first dedicated military satellite. Contracted by South Korea's Defense Acquisition Program Administration in 2014.[544] 57th successful recovery of a Falcon 9 first stage. For the first time both fairing halves were also successfully caught by fairing catching ships.[545] This launch featured a booster reflight within 51 days, a new record turnaround time for a Falcon booster.[546] It was the same booster that launched the Crew Dragon Demo-2 spacecraft on 30 May 2020.[542] The satellite was delivered to a super-synchronous transfer orbit of 211 km × 45,454 km (131 mi × 28,244 mi), while both fairing halves were caught in the catch nets of the supports ships.[547]
90	7 August 2020, 05:12[548]	F9 B5 ♺ B1051.5	KSC, LC-39A	Starlink 9 v1.0 (57 Satellites),[523] SXRS-1 (BlackSky Global 7 and 8)	14,932 kg (32,919 lb)	LEO	SpaceX Spaceflight Industries (BlackSky)	Success	Success (drone ship)
	Ninth operational launch of Starlink satellites. This mission carried 57 Starlink satellites and two BlackSky satellites as rideshare.[549] This first rideshare contracted with Spaceflight Industries was dubbed internally as "SXRS-1".[550] After previously testing on a single Starlink, the launch will have all 57 satellites include a "VisorSat" to reduce their brightness.[551]
91	18 August 2020 14:31[552]	F9 B5 ♺ B1049.6[543]	CCAFS, SLC-40	Starlink 10 v1.0 (58 satellites) SkySat-19, -20, -21	~15,440 kg (34,040 lb)	LEO	SpaceX Planet Labs	Success	Success (drone ship)
	Tenth operational launch of Starlink satellites. Starlink flight including three SkySat rideshare satellites.[525] First time a booster made a 6th flight.[553] The fairings previously flew on Starlink 3 v1.0. One fairing half was caught by Go Ms. Tree, the other was scooped out of the ocean.[525]
92	30 August 2020 23:18[554]	F9 B5 ♺ B1059.4	CCAFS, SLC-40	SAOCOM 1B[555] GNOMES 1[555] Tyvak-0172[556]	3,130 kg (6,900 lb)[557]	SSO	CONAE PlanetIQ Tyvak	Success	Success (ground pad)
	The 100th launch in SpaceX's history, first time a commercial launch on a fourth launch of a booster, it deployed Earth-observing satellites built by Argentina's space agency CONAE and two rideshares. SpaceX was contracted in 2009 for an initial launch as early as 2013.[558] Originally planned for launch from Vandenberg but launched from Cape Canaveral, which made it the first flight from there using the southern corridor to a polar orbit since 1969.[559][560]
93	3 September 2020 12:46:14[561]	F9 B5 ♺ B1060.2[562]	KSC, LC-39A	Starlink 11 v1.0 (60 satellites)	15,600 kg (34,400 lb)[5]	LEO	SpaceX	Success	Success (drone ship)

	Launched the largest, high-power broadcasting satellite for SiriusXM's digital audio radio service (DARS). SXM-7 was built by Maxar Technologies; intended to operate in the S-band spectrum, it will replace the SXM-3 satellite. The satellite will deliver the highest power density of any commercial satellite on-orbit,[592] generate more than 20 kW of power, and have a large unfoldable antenna reflector, which enables broadcast to radios without the need for large dish-type antennas on the ground. Due to the heavy weight, the payload was injected into a sub-synchronous orbit of 224 km × 19,411 km (139 mi × 12,061 mi) and the satellite itself will transfer to full GTO.[593] It was the first time a commercial primary payload flew on a booster which had been flown more than 4 times before.[594] First dedicated customer launch where the fairings were previously used.[595]
103	19 December 2020 14:00:00[596]	F9 B5 ♺ B1059.5	KSC, LC-39A	NROL-108	Classified	LEO	NRO	Success	Success (ground pad)
	The planned launch was not known by the public until FCC filings appeared in late September followed by confirmation from the NRO on 5 October 2020, likely a relatively light payload that allows the return of the booster to the launch site.[597]

	A 3,500 kg (7,700 lb) satellite intended to be stationed at 31.0° east.[599] This is the most powerful satellite in Türksat's fleet[600] and will provide Ku-band television broadcast services over Turkey, the Middle East, Europe and Africa. The satellite was injected in to a Super-synchronous transfer orbit of 280 km × 55,000 km (170 mi × 34,180 mi) with 17.6° inclination.[601]
105	20 January 2021 13:02[602]	F9 B5 ♺ B1051.8[603]	KSC, LC-39A	Starlink 16 v1.0 (60 satellites)	15,600 kg (34,400 lb)	LEO	SpaceX	Success	Success (drone ship)
	The first booster to successfully launch and land eight times. Achieved a record turnaround time between two launches of the same booster of only 38 days and brought the total of launched Starlink satellites to over 1000.[604] SpaceX stated that the landing would occur during higher winds than usual; this test to expand the landing envelope was successfully passed by the booster.[605]
106	24 January 2021 15:00[606]	F9 B5 ♺ B1058.5[607]	CCSFS, SLC-40	Transporter-1 (143 smallsat rideshare)	~5,000 kg (11,000 lb)	SSO	Various	Success	Success (drone ship)
	First dedicated smallsat rideshare launch, targeting a 525 km (326 mi) altitude orbit.[608] The launch deployed a record 143 satellites, consisting of 120 CubeSats, 11 microsatellites, 10 Starlinks, and 2 transfer stages. In addition, 2 hosted payloads and 1 non-separating dummy satellite[609] were[failed verification] launched.[610] These include SpaceBEE (x 36), Lemur-2 (x 8), ICEYE (x 3), UVSQ-SAT,[611] ELaNa 35 (PTD-1),[381] and multiple Kepler nanosats.[612][613] D-Orbit flew their ION SCV LAURENTIUS, 10 Starlink satellites were placed in a polar orbit[614] and 2 of 15 payloads remained attached to SHERPA-FX. Exolaunch deployed several small satellites and cubesats via their own deployment mechanisms. First flight of a Falcon 9 with a SHERPA-FX transfer stage.[615][616]
107	4 February 2021 06:19[617]	F9 B5 ♺ B1060.5[618]	CCSFS, SLC-40	Starlink 18 v1.0 (60 satellites)	15,600 kg (34,400 lb)	LEO	SpaceX	Success	Success (drone ship)
	This marked the fastest turnaround to date, at 27 days, and the first time a Falcon 9 flies twice within a month.[619]
108	16 February 2021 03:59:37[620]	F9 B5 ♺ B1059.6	CCSFS, SLC-40	Starlink 19 v1.0 (60 satellites)[621]	15,600 kg (34,400 lb)	LEO	SpaceX	Success	Failure (drone ship)
	A hole in a heat-shielding engine cover, which likely developed through fatigue, allowed recirculating hot exhaust gases to damage one of the Merlin 1D first-stage engines, causing it to shut down early during ascent. Engine-out capability of the Falcon 9 allowed the mission to continue and successfully deploy the 60 Starlink satellites to orbit.[622] The issue caused the booster to fail its landing attempt and miss the droneship Of Course I Still Love You (OCISLY) after its entry burn, breaking the longest streak of 24 landing successes.[623] During this mission, GO Ms. Tree and GO Ms. Chief were used for the last time to recover the fairings.[624][625] After this mission, both ships were retired because SpaceX no longer plans to catch the fairings.[626]
109	4 March 2021 08:24[627]	F9 B5 ♺ B1049.8[628]	KSC, LC-39A	Starlink 17 v1.0 (60 satellites)	15,600 kg (34,400 lb)	LEO	SpaceX	Success	Success (drone ship)
	Launch had previously been postponed multiple times, causing the payload Starlink L17 to launch after the L18 and L19 missions. Featured for the first time, a fairing which was flying on its fourth flight.[629] The second-stage deorbit burn failed, causing an uncontrolled reentry on 26 March, 2021 over the west coast of the United States.[630]

Second launch of Falcon 9 was COTS Demo Flight 1, which placed an operational Dragon capsule in a roughly 300 km (190 mi) orbit on 8 December 2010,^[783] The capsule re-entered the atmosphere after two orbits, allowing testing for the pressure vessel integrity, attitude control using the Draco thrusters, telemetry, guidance, navigation, control systems, and the PICA-X heat shield, and intended to test the parachutes at speed. The capsule was recovered off the coast of Mexico^[784] and then placed on display at SpaceX headquarters.^[785]

The remaining objectives of the NASA COTS qualification program were combined into a single Dragon C2+ mission,^[786] on the condition that all milestones would be validated in space before berthing Dragon to the ISS. The Dragon capsule was propelled to orbit on 22 May, and for the next days tested its positioning system, solar panels, grapple fixture, proximity navigation sensors, and its rendezvous capabilities at safe distances. After a final hold position a 9 m (30 ft) away from the Harmony docking port on 25 May, it was grabbed with the station's robotic arm (Canadarm2), and eventually, the hatch was opened on 26 May. It was released on 31 May and successfully completed all the return procedures,^[787] and the recovered Dragon C2+ capsule is now on display at Kennedy Space Center.^[788] Falcon 9 and Dragon thus became the first fully commercially developed launcher to deliver a payload to the International Space Station, paving the way for SpaceX and NASA to sign the first Commercial Resupply Services agreement for 12 cargo deliveries.^[789]

CRS-1

Main article: SpaceX CRS-1

First operational cargo resupply mission to ISS, the fourth flight of Falcon 9, was launched on 7 October 2012. At 76 seconds after liftoff, engine 1 of the first stage suffered a loss of pressure which caused an automatic shutdown of that engine, but the remaining eight first-stage engines continued to burn and the Dragon capsule reached orbit successfully and thus demonstrated the rocket's "engine out" capability in flight.^[790][791] Due to ISS visiting vehicle safety rules, at NASA's request, the secondary payload Orbcomm-2 was released into a lower-than-intended orbit.^[26] The mission continued to rendezvous and berth the Dragon capsule with the ISS where the ISS crew unloaded its payload and reloaded the spacecraft with cargo for return to Earth.^[792] Despite the incident, Orbcomm said they gathered useful test data from the mission and planned to send more satellites via SpaceX,^[25] which happened in July 2014 and December 2015.

Maiden flight of v1.1

SpaceX Falcon 9 v1.1 launch from Vandenberg with CASSIOPE

Following unsuccessful attempts at recovering the first stage with parachutes, SpaceX upgraded to much larger first stage booster and with greater thrust, termed Falcon 9 v1.1 (also termed Block 2^[793]). SpaceX performed its first, demonstration flight of this version on 29 September 2013,^[794] with CASSIOPE as a primary payload. This had a payload mass that is very small relative to the rocket's capability, and was launched at a discounted rate, approximately 20% of the normal published price.^{[795][796][30]} After the second stage separation, SpaceX conducted a novel high-altitude, high-velocity flight test, wherein the booster attempted to reenter the lower atmosphere in a controlled manner and decelerate to a simulated over-water landing.^[30]

Loss of CRS-7 mission

Main article: SpaceX CRS-7

On 28 June 2015, Falcon 9 Flight 19 carried a Dragon capsule on the seventh Commercial Resupply Services mission to the ISS. The second stage disintegrated due to an internal helium tank failure while the first stage was still burning normally. This was the first (and only as of April 2021) primary mission loss for any Falcon 9 rocket.^[93] In addition to ISS consumables and experiments, this mission carried the first International Docking Adapter (IDA-1), whose loss delayed preparedness of the station's US Orbital Segment (USOS) for future crewed missions.^[797]

Performance was nominal until T+140 seconds into launch when a cloud of white vapor appeared, followed by rapid loss of second-stage LOX tank pressure. The booster continued on its trajectory until complete vehicle breakup at T+150 seconds. The Dragon capsule was ejected from the disintegrating rocket and continued transmitting data until impact with the ocean. SpaceX officials stated that the capsule could have been recovered if the parachutes had deployed; however, the Dragon software did not include any provisions for parachute deployment in this situation.^[95] Subsequent investigations traced the cause of the accident to the failure of a strut that secured a helium bottle inside the second-stage LOX tank. With the helium pressurization system integrity breached, excess helium quickly flooded the tank, eventually causing it to burst from overpressure.^[798][799] NASA's independent accident investigation into the loss of SpaceX CRS-7 found that the failure of the strut which led to the breakup of the Falcon-9 represented a design error. Specifically, that industrial grade stainless steel had been used in a critical load path under cryogenic conditions and flight conditions, without additional part screening, and without regard to manufacturer recommendations.^[800]

Full-thrust version and first booster landings

Falcon 9 Flight 20 historic first-stage landing at CCAFS Landing Zone 1, 22 December 2015

After pausing launches for months, SpaceX launched on 22 December 2015, the highly anticipated return-to-flight mission after the loss of CRS-7. This launch inaugurated a new Falcon 9 Full Thrust version (also initially termed Block 3^[793]) of its flagship rocket featuring increased performance, notably thanks to subcooling of the propellants. After launching a constellation of 11 Orbcomm-OG2 second-generation satellites,^[801] the first stage performed a controlled-descent and landing test for the eighth time, SpaceX attempted to land the booster on land for the first time. It managed to return the first stage successfully to the Landing Zone 1 at Cape Canaveral, marking the first successful recovery of a rocket first stage that launched a payload to orbit.^[802] After recovery, the first stage booster performed further ground tests and then was put on permanent display outside SpaceX's headquarters in Hawthorne, California.^[98]

On 8 April 2016, SpaceX delivered its commercial resupply mission to the International Space Station marking the return-to-flight of the Dragon capsule, after the loss of CRS-7. After separation, the first-stage booster slowed itself with a boostback maneuver, re-entered the atmosphere, executed an automated controlled descent and landed vertically onto the drone ship Of Course I Still Love You, marking the first successful landing of a rocket on a ship at sea.^[803] This was the fourth attempt to land on a drone ship, as part of the company's experimental controlled-descent and landing tests.^[804]

Loss of Amos-6 on the launch pad

Main article: Amos-6

On 1 September 2016, the 29th Falcon 9 rocket exploded on the launchpad while propellant was being loaded for a routine pre-launch static fire test. The payload, Israeli satellite Amos-6, partly commissioned by Facebook, was destroyed with the launcher.^[805] On 2 January 2017, SpaceX released an official statement indicating that the cause of the failure was a buckled liner in several of the COPV tanks, causing perforations that allowed liquid and/or solid oxygen to accumulate underneath the COPVs carbon strands, which were subsequently ignited possibly due to friction of breaking strands.^[149]

Inaugural reuse of the first stage

Main article: SES-10

On March 30, 2017, Flight 32 launched the SES-10 satellite with the first-stage booster B1021, which had been previously used for the CRS-8 mission a year earlier. The stage was successfully recovered a second time and was retired and put on display at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.^[806]

Zuma launch controversy

Main article: Zuma (satellite)

Zuma was a classified United States government satellite and was developed and built by Northrop Grumman at an estimated cost of US$3.5 billion.^[807] Its launch, originally planned for mid-November 2017, was postponed to 8 January 2018 as fairing tests for another SpaceX customer were assessed. Following a successful Falcon 9 launch, the first-stage booster landed at LZ-1.^[242] Unconfirmed reports suggested that the Zuma spacecraft was lost,^[243] with claims that either the payload failed following orbital release, or that the customer-provided adapter failed to release the satellite from the upper stage, while other claims argued that Zuma was in orbit and operating covertly.^[243] SpaceX's COO Gwynne Shotwell stated that their Falcon 9 "did everything correctly" and that "Information published that is contrary to this statement is categorically false".^[243] A preliminary report indicated that the payload adapter, modified by Northrop Grumman after purchasing it from a subcontractor, failed to separate the satellite from the second stage under the zero gravity conditions.^[808][807] Due to the classified nature of the mission, no further official information is expected.^[243]

Falcon Heavy test flight

Main article: Falcon Heavy test flight

The maiden launch of the Falcon Heavy occurred on February 6, 2018, marking the launch of the most powerful rocket since the Space Shuttle, with a theoretical payload capacity to low Earth orbit more than double the Delta IV Heavy.^[809][810] Both side boosters landed nearly simultaneously after a ten-minute flight. The central core failed to land on a floating platform at sea.^[261] The rocket carried a car and a mannequin to an eccentric heliocentric orbit that reaches further than aphelion of Mars.^[811]

Maiden flight Crew Dragon and first crewed flight

Main articles: Crew Dragon Demo-1 and Crew Dragon Demo-2

On March 2, 2019, SpaceX launched its first orbital flight of Dragon 2 (Crew Dragon). It was an uncrewed mission to the International Space Station. The Dragon contained a mannequin named Ripley which was equipped with multiple sensors to gather data about how a human would feel during the flight. Along with the mannequin was 300 pounds of cargo of food and other supplies.^[812] Also on board was Earth plush toy referred to as a 'Super high tech zero-g indicator'.^[813] The toy became a hit with astronaut Anne McClain who showed the plushy on the ISS each day^[814] and also deciding to keep it on board to experience the crewed SpX-DM2.

The Dragon spent six days in space including five docked to the International Space Station. During the time, various systems were tested to make sure the vehicle was ready for US astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken to fly in it in 2020. The Dragon undocked and performed a re-entry burn before splashing down on March 8, 2019 at 08:45 EST, 320 km (200 mi) off the coast of Florida.^[815]

SpaceX held a successful launch of the first commercial orbital human space flight on May 30, 2020, crewed with NASA astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken. Both astronauts focused on conducting tests on the Crew Dragon capsule. Crew Dragon successfully returned to Earth, splashing down in the Gulf of Mexico on August 2, 2020.^[816]

Booster reflight records

Main articles: Falcon 9 B1046 and Falcon 9 B1048

Most records were set during launches of Starlink satellites.

On 3 December 2018, Spaceflight SSO-A launched on B1046. It was the first commercial mission to use a booster flying for the third time.

B1048 made the first fourth flight of a booster in November 2019, and the fifth flight in March 2020, but the booster was lost during re-entry.

B1049 was the first booster to be recovered five times on 4 June 2020, six times on 18 August 2020, and seven times on 25 November 2020.

B1051 was the first booster to be recovered eight times on 20 January 2021. It was recovered for the ninth time on 14 March 2021.^[817][818]

On 9 May 2021, B1051 launched and landed for the tenth time, achieving one of SpaceX's milestone goals for reuse.^[819]

Booster B1060 holds the record for fastest turnaround at 27 days. It launched on 7 January and again on 4 February 2021.^[820][821]

Notes

1. The Telstar 18V and Telstar 19V satellites were heavier, but were launched into a lower-energy transfer orbit achieving an apogee well below the geostationary altitude.
2. Falcon 9 first-stage boosters are designated with a construction serial number and an optional flight number when reused, e.g. B1021.1 and B1021.2 represent the two flights of booster B1021. Launches using reused boosters are denoted with a recycled symbol ♺.
3. Dragon 1 or 2 are designated with a construction serial number or name and an optional flight number when reused, e.g. Dragon C106.1 and Dragon C106.2 represent the two flights of Dragon C106. Dragon Spacecrafts that are reused are denoted with a recycled symbol ♺.
4. A controlled "ocean landing" denotes a controlled atmospheric entry, descent and vertical splashdown on the ocean's surface at near zero velocity, for the sole purpose of gathering test data; such boosters were destroyed at sea.
5. Since it was a pre-flight test, SpaceX does not count this scheduled attempt in their launch totals. Some sources do consider this planned flight into the counting schemes, and as a result, some sources might list launch totals after 2016 with one additional launch.
6. Unspecified U.S. government agency
7. Payload comprises five Iridium satellites weighing 860 kg each,^[325] two GRACE-FO satellites weighing 580 kg each,^[326] plus a 1000 kg dispenser.^[159]
8. Total payload mass includes the Crew Dragon capsule, fuel, suited mannequin, instrumentation and 204 kg of cargo.
9. Despite making a successful landing, de-tanking and heading back home, the stage tipped over at sea. This is still considered a successful landing as the stage damage occurred while in transport.^[424]

Orbcomm requested that SpaceX carry one of their small satellites (weighing a few hundred pounds, versus Dragon at over 12,000 pounds)... The higher the orbit, the more test data [Orbcomm] can gather, so they requested that we attempt to restart and raise altitude. NASA agreed to allow that, but only on condition that there be substantial propellant reserves, since the orbit would be close to the space station. It is important to appreciate that Orbcomm understood from the beginning that the orbit-raising maneuver was tentative. They accepted that there was a high risk of their satellite remaining at the Dragon insertion orbit. SpaceX would not have agreed to fly their satellite otherwise, since this was not part of the core mission and there was a known, material risk of no altitude raise.

Anchor customers Asia Broadcast Satellite (ABS) of Hong Kong and Mexico's Satmex's plan to loft the first two of four such spacecraft on a Falcon 9. [...] Using electric rather than chemical propulsion will mean the satellites take months, rather than weeks, to reach their final orbital destination. But because all-electric spacecraft are about 40% lighter than their conventional counterparts, the cost to launch them is considerably less than that for a chemically propelled satellite.

Rumors started circulating on Monday that the satellite malfunctioned when it reached orbit, and both the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg have reported that Zuma actually fell back to Earth and burned up in the planet’s atmosphere. [...] SpaceX said that the Falcon 9 rocket, which carried Zuma to orbit, performed as it was supposed to. [...] "For clarity: after review of all data to date, Falcon 9 did everything correctly on Sunday night", [Gwynne Shotwell] said. "If we or others find otherwise based on further review, we will report it immediately. Information published that is contrary to this statement is categorically false". She added that the company cannot comment further due to the classified nature of the mission. [...] Of course, Northrop Grumman won't comment on the launch.
