As of November 23, 2025, rockets from theFalcon 9 family have been launched 579 times, with 576 full mission successes, two mission failures during launch,[a] one mission failure before launch,[b] and one partial failure.[c]
Designed and operated bySpaceX, the Falcon 9 family includes the retired versionsFalcon 9 v1.0, launched five times from June 2010 to March 2013;Falcon 9 v1.1, launched 15 times from September 2013 to January 2016; andFalcon 9 v1.2 "Full Thrust" (blocks 3 and 4), launched 36 times from December 2015 to June 2018. The active "Full Thrust" variantFalcon 9 Block 5 has launched 512 times since May 2018.Falcon Heavy, aheavy-lift derivative of Falcon 9, combining a strengthened central core with two Falcon 9 first stages as side boosters[1] has launched 11 times since February 2018.
The Falcon design featuresreusable first-stage boosters, which land either on a ground pad near the launch site or on adrone ship at sea.[2] In December 2015, Falcon 9 became the first rocket toland propulsively after delivering a payload into orbit.[3] This reusability results in significantly reducedlaunch costs, as the cost of the first stage constitutes the majority of the cost of a new rocket.[4][5]Falcon family boosters have successfully landed 538 times in 551 attempts. A total of 51 boosters have flown multiple missions, with a record of 31 missions by a booster,B1067. SpaceX has also reflown fairing halves more than 300 times, with SN185 (35 times; 2nd most reflown rocket part to space[d]) and SN168 (30 times) being the most reflown active and passive fairing halves respectively.[6]
Typical missions include launches of SpaceX'sStarlink satellites (accounting for a majority of the Falcon manifest since January 2020),Dragon crew and cargo missions to theInternational Space Station, and launches of commercial and military satellites to LEO, polar, and geosynchronous orbits. The heaviest payload launched on Falcon is a batch of 24Starlink V2-Mini satellites weighing about 17,500 kg (38,600 lb) total, first flown in February 2024,[7] landing onJRTI. The heaviest payload launched togeostationary transfer orbit (GTO) was the 9,200 kg (20,300 lb)Jupiter-3 on July 29, 2023. Launches to higher orbits have includedDSCOVR andIMAP toSun–EarthLagrange point L1,TESS to a lunar flyby, aTesla Roadsterdemonstration payload to aheliocentric orbit extending past theorbit of Mars, DART andHera to the asteroidDidymos, Euclid toSun-Earth Lagrange point L2,Psyche to the asteroid16 Psyche, andEuropa Clipper toEuropa (a moon ofJupiter).
Rockets from the Falcon 9 family have a success rate of99.48% and have been launched 579 times over 15 years, resulting in 576 full successes, two in-flight failures (SpaceX CRS-7 andStarlink Group 9–3), one pre-flight failure (AMOS-6 while being prepared for an on-padstatic fire test), and one partial failure (SpaceX CRS-1, which delivered its cargo to theInternational Space Station (ISS), but asecondary payload was stranded in a lower-than-planned orbit). The active version of the rocket, theFalcon 9 Block 5, has flown 511 times successfully and failed once (Starlink Group 9–3), resulting in the99.8% success rate.
In 2022, the Falcon 9 set a new record with 60 successful launches by the same launch vehicle type in a calendar year. This surpassed the previous record held bySoyuz-U, which had 47 launches (45 successful) in 1979.[8] In 2023, the Falcon family of rockets (including the Falcon Heavy) had 96 successful launches, surpassing the63 launches (61 successful) of theR-7 rocket family in 1980.[e][9] In 2024, SpaceX broke their own record with 134 total Falcon flights (133 successful) accounting for over half of allorbital launches that year.
The Falcon 9 has evolved through several versions:v1.0 was launched five times from 2010 to 2013,v1.1 launched 15 times from 2013 to 2016,Full Thrust launched 36 times from 2015 to 2015. The most recent version, Block 5, was introduced in May 2018.[10] With each iteration, the Falcon 9 boosters has become more powerful and capable of vertical landing, while fairings simultaneously performing water landing, before being scouped out of water. As vertical landings and fairing recovery operations became more commonplace, SpaceX focused on streamlining the refurbishment process for boosters and fairings, making it faster and more cost-effective.[11]
TheFalcon Heavy derivative is a heavy-lift launch vehicle composed of three Falcon 9 first-stage boosters. The central core is reinforced, while the side boosters feature aerodynamicnosecone instead of the usualinterstage.[12]
Falcon 9 first-stage boosters landed successfully in 538 of 551 attempts (97.6%), with 513 out of 519 (98.8%) for the Falcon 9 Block 5 version. A total of 507re-flights of first stage boosters have all successfully launched their second stages and, all but one, their payloads.
From June 2010, to the end of 2019,Falcon 9 was launched 77 times, with 75 full mission successes, one partial failure and one total loss of the spacecraft. In addition, one rocket and its payload were destroyed on the launch pad during the fueling process before a static fire test was set to occur.Falcon Heavy was launched three times, all successful.
The first Falcon 9 version,Falcon 9 v1.0, was launched five times from June 2010, to March 2013, its successorFalcon 9 v1.1 15 times from September 2013, to January 2016, and theFalcon 9 Full Thrust (through Block 4) 36 times from December 2015, to June 2018. The latest Full Thrust variant,Block 5, was introduced in May 2018,[10] and launched 21 times before the end of 2019.
From January 2020, to the end of 2022,Falcon 9 was launched 117 times, all successful, and landed boosters successfully on 111 of 114 attempts.Falcon Heavy was launched once and was successful, including landing of the mission's two side boosters.
SpaceX conducted 96 Falcon family vehicle launches (91 Falcon 9 and 5 Falcon Heavy) in 2023. It surpassed both the company's own single-year launch record of 61 and the global annual record of 64 launches, coming close to its previously announced goal of 100 Falcon launches in the year.[13][14][i]
The company's payload delivery capacity also rose, with approximately 1,200 tonnes (2,600,000 lb) sent to orbit.[15]
SpaceX conducted 134 Falcon family vehicle launches (132 Falcon 9 and 2 Falcon Heavy) in 2024, including the failedStarlink Group 9-3 mission.[16] It again broke the global single-year launch record of 98 launches in a year (set by SpaceX in the previous year with 96 Falcon and 2Starship launches).
The company had set initial launch targets for the year of approximately 144 launches, or an average of 12 per month, accounting for potential delays due to weather, technical issues, and scheduled maintenance.[17][18] However, subsequent statements from SpaceX leadership indicated a potential increase to 148 launches, an average of 13 launches per month.[19][20] Later in November 2024, due to launch or recovery failures leading to several mishap investigations and delays, SpaceX leadership lowered the year's launch projections to approximately 136 launches in the year, which was subsequently missed by two launches.[21]
The company's payload delivery capacity also rose, with more than 1,498 tonnes (3,303,000 lb) (only 85.5% of the launches were reported launch masses) sent to orbit.[22]

First crewed mission to launch fromSLC-40.[180] The launch carried two members of theExpedition 72 crew,Nick Hague andAleksandr Gorbunov, along with a small amount of cargo to the ISS.[179] Due to technical issues with theBoeing Starliner Calypso the crew complement of the launch was reduced down to two andBarry E. Wilmore andSunita Williams, the crew of theBoeing Crew Flight Test, joined the Crew-9 and Expedition 72 crew complement.[181] The second stage experienced an off-nominal deorbit burn that ran for an extra 500 milliseconds, and while it landed safely in the ocean, it landed short of the targeted area.[182] SpaceX said they would temporarily halt launches while time was spent understanding the root cause. Several days later the FAA said they would require an investigation into the failure before issuing a return to flight for the Falcon 9. It marked the third time in a span of three months that the Falcon 9 suffered an anomaly temporarily stopping launches.[183][184] On October 11, the FAA approved the Falcon 9 to return to flight for low-Earth orbit missions, after granting approval for the Hera launch due to its heliocentric orbit.[185] | |||||||||

| Hera is aEuropean Space Agency mission under its Space Safety program. Its primary goal is to study the aftermath of NASA'sDART mission, which intentionally collided with theDidymos binary asteroid system. By analyzing the crater formed and the momentum transferred during the impact, Hera will help validate thekinetic impact method as a potential strategy for deflecting anear-Earth asteroid on a collision course with Earth. The mission will provide data on the efficiency of this technique. It also carries twonano-satellite CubeSats, calledMilani andJuventas. This was the second booster to complete its 23rd flight. Although the Falcon 9 remained unable to launch following the Crew-9 mishap, the FAA granted an exemption for the Hera launch, as it did not involve a second-stage reentry.[187] First stage was expended because all of its performance were needed to go to the heliocentric orbit. | |||||||||

As of November 23, SpaceX has conducted 151 Falcon family vehicle launches (151 Falcon 9 and no Falcon Heavy) in 2025, a new annual launch record. In November 2024, the company outlined ambitious launch targets for the year, with initial projections of more than 150 launches, or an average of 12 to 13 per month, accounting for potential delays due to weather, technical issues, and scheduled maintenance.[249] Later, in December, SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell stated they are expecting 175 to 180 launches in 2025, or an average of 14 to 15 per month.[250] Later they reduced the target to 170 launches in the year or an average of 13 to 14 launches per month.[251]
By Q3 2025, the company delivered payload, weighing between 1,682.255 tonnes (3,708,740 lb) (83.3% of the launches were reported launch masses)[252] to more than 1,800 tonnes (4,000,000 lb) (company figures by 18 August 2025) to orbit.[253]

A fuel leak started in one of the nine Merlin engines in the first stage 85 seconds after liftoff. However, because of the altitude of the rocket, there was no oxygen to ignite the fuel, allowing the first stage to completed its ascent without issue. However, 45 seconds after the booster landed, enough oxygen had entered the engine compartment where the leak occurred, creating a large fire.

On June 4, 2010, the first Falcon 9 launch successfully placed a test payload into the intended orbit.[520] The second launch of Falcon 9 wasCOTS Demo Flight 1, which placed an operationalDragon capsule in orbit on December 8, 2010.[521] The capsule re-entered the atmosphere after two orbits, allowing for testing the reentry procedures. The capsule was recovered off the coast of Mexico[522] and then placed on display at SpaceX headquarters.[523] The remaining objectives of theNASA COTS qualification program were combined into a singleDragon C2+ mission, on the condition that all milestones would be validated in space beforeberthing Dragon to the ISS.[524] The Dragon capsule was propelled to orbit in May 2012, and following successful tests in the next days it was grabbed withthe station's robotic arm (Canadarm2) and docked to the ISS docking port for the first time on May 25. After successfully completing all the return procedures, the recovered Dragon C2+ capsule was put on display atKennedy Space Center.[525] Thus, Falcon 9 and Dragon 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 firstCommercial Resupply Services agreement for cargo deliveries.[526]
The first operational cargo resupply mission to ISS, the fourth flight of Falcon 9, was launched in October 2012. An engine suffered a loss of pressure at 76 seconds after liftoff, 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.[527] Due to ISS visiting vehicle safety rules, at NASA's request, the secondary payload Orbcomm-2 was released into a lower-than-intended orbit.[528] Despite this incident, Orbcomm said they gathered useful test data from the mission and later in 2014, launched more satellites via SpaceX.[529] 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.[530]
Following unsuccessful attempts at recovering the first stage with parachutes, SpaceX upgraded to a much larger first stage booster and with greater thrust, termedFalcon 9 v1.1, and performed a demonstration flight of this version in September 2013.[531] After thesecond stage separation and deliveringCASSIOPE, a very small payload relative to the rocket's capability, SpaceX conducted a novelhigh-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.[532]
In June 2015,Falcon 9 Flight 19 carried aDragon capsule on the seventhCommercial Resupply Services mission to theISS. 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 May 2024) primary mission loss for any Falcon 9 rocket.[533] In addition to ISS consumables and experiments, this mission carried the firstInternational Docking Adapter (IDA-1), whose loss delayed preparedness of the station'sUS Orbital Segment (USOS) forfuture crewed missions.[534]
Performance was nominal until T+140 seconds into launch when a cloud of white vapor appeared, followed by rapid loss of second-stageLOX 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.[535] 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.[536][537] 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.[538]

After pausing launches for months, SpaceX launched on December 22, 2015, the highly anticipated return-to-flight mission after the loss ofCRS-7. This launch inaugurated a newFalcon 9 Full Thrust version of its flagship rocket featuring increased performance, notably thanks tosubcooling of the propellants. After launching a constellation of 11Orbcomm-OG2 second-generation satellites,[539] the first stage performed acontrolled-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 theLanding Zone 1 atCape Canaveral, marking the first successful recovery of a rocket first stage that launched a payload to orbit.[540] After recovery,the first stage booster performed further ground tests and then was put on permanent display outside SpaceX's headquarters inHawthorne, California.[541]
On April 8, 2016, SpaceX delivered itscommercial resupply mission to the International Space Station marking the return-to-flight of the Dragon capsule, after the loss of CRS-7. After separation, thefirst-stage booster slowed itself with a boostback maneuver, re-entered the atmosphere, executed an automated controlled descent and landed vertically onto the drone shipOf Course I Still Love You, marking the first successful landing of a rocket on a ship at sea.[542] This was the fourth attempt to land on a drone ship, as part of the company's experimentalcontrolled-descent and landing tests.[543]
On September 1, 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 satelliteAMOS-6, partly commissioned byFacebook, was destroyed with the launcher.[544] On January 2, 2017, SpaceX released an official statement indicating that the cause of the failure was a buckled liner in several of theCOPV 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.[545]
Zuma was a classified United States government satellite and was developed and built byNorthrop Grumman at an estimated cost of US$3.5 billion.[546] Its launch, originally planned for mid-November 2017, was postponed to January 8, 2018, asfairing tests for another SpaceX customer were assessed. Following a successful Falcon 9 launch, the first-stage booster landed atLZ-1.[547] Unconfirmed reports suggested that the Zuma spacecraft was lost,[548] 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.[548] SpaceX's COOGwynne Shotwell stated that their Falcon 9 "did everything correctly" and that "Information published that is contrary to this statement is categorically false".[548] 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.[549][546] Due to the classified nature of the mission, no further official information is expected.[548]

The maiden launch of theFalcon Heavy occurred on February 6, 2018, making it the most powerful rocket since theSaturn V, with a theoretical payload capacity tolow Earth orbit more than double theDelta IV Heavy.[550][551] Both side boosters landed nearly simultaneously after a ten-minute flight. The central core failed to land on afloating platform at sea.[552] The rocket carrieda car and a mannequin to aneccentricheliocentric orbit that reaches further thanaphelion ofMars.[553]
On March 2, 2019, SpaceX launched its first orbital flight ofDragon 2 (Crew Dragon). It was an uncrewed mission to theInternational 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.[554] Also on board was Earth plush toy referred to as a "Super high tech zero-g indicator".[555] The toy became a hit with astronautAnne McClain, who showed the plushy on the ISS each day[556] and also deciding to keep it on board to experience the crewedSpX-DM2.
The Dragon spent six days in space, including five days docked to the International Space Station. During the time, various systems were tested to make sure the vehicle was ready for US astronautsDoug Hurley andBob 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.[557]
SpaceX held a successful launch of the first commercial orbital human space flight on May 30, 2020, crewed with NASA astronautsDoug Hurley andBob 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.[558]
On July 12, 2024, SpaceX launched a group ofStarlink satellites fromVandenberg Space Force Base in California. While the booster performed nominally, including a successful droneship landing, the upper stage failed to relight for a second burn, with ice appearing to accumulate around the engine during the first burn due to aliquid oxygen leak that developed fromvibrational fatigue which led to a crack in a pressure sensor line.[559] The satellites were deployed from the upper stage into the lower initial parking orbit with a perigee of 135 km, less than half the targeted perigee.[560] After separation, the satellites were commanded to burn their ion thrusters. SpaceX modified the satellite software so the thrusters would produce as much thrust as possible.[561] Despite this, all of the satellites re-entered the atmosphere following the launch.[136] This launch was the firstFalcon 9 Block 5 orFalcon 9 Full Thrust failure thereby ending theGuinness World Record of 325 successful Falcon 9 launches since the pre-flight anomaly ofAMOS-6.[137][138]
SpaceX has developed a program to reuse the first-stage booster and its fairings or Dragon capsules, setting multiple booster and fairing or Dragon reflight records respectively. Only second-stages are expendable, reducing launch costs significantly.
Those Falcon 9 missions will launch in late 2023 and 2024.

Falcon 9's second stage performed its first burn nominally, however a liquid oxygen leak developed on the second stage. After a planned relight of the upper stage engine to raise perigee – or the lowest point of orbit – the Merlin Vacuum engine experienced an anomaly and was unable to complete its second burn. This left the satellites in an eccentric orbit with a very low perigee of 135 km, which is less than half the expected perigee altitude. [...] At this level of drag, our maximum available thrust is unlikely to be enough to successfully raise the satellites.
SpaceX launched the Space Norway Arctic Satellite Broadband Mission mission (ASBM) to Molniya transfer orbit from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.
At the briefing, Julianna Scheiman, director of NASA science missions at SpaceX, said on the Crew-9 flight the upper stage's single Merlin engine "continued to produce thrust for about 500 milliseconds after the shutdown was commanded." A backup command was sent to close valves to shut down the engine.
The SpaceX Falcon 9 vehicle is authorized to return to flight only for the planned Hera mission scheduled to launch on Oct. 7 from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The FAA has determined that the absence of a second stage reentry for this mission adequately mitigates the primary risk to the public in the event of a reoccurrence of the mishap experienced with the Crew-9 mission. Safety will drive the timeline for the FAA to complete its review of SpaceX's Crew-9 mishap investigation report and when the agency will authorize Falcon 9 to return to regular operations.

We are nearing completion of the software validation process, and expect the first launch of the WorldView Legion satellites to be in January 2023 assuming no major issues arise. The second launch of the WorldView Legion satellites is still expected to be approximately two months after the first launch.
There is a particular SpaceX cargo flight, CRS-33, that has the ability to do some re-boosts for the space station and that needs to fly in than late August/early September timeframe, so we moved the handover up. The boost trunk, as we call it, will be there for a large part of the fall timeframe.

This article incorporates text from this source, which is in thepublic domain.Rumors started circulating on Monday that the satellite malfunctioned when it reached orbit, and both theWall Street Journal andBloomberg 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.
