According to SpaceX, the specific B1067 booster is its testament to the wide reusability of its rockets, centering on its mission to frequent space with rockets that may be utilized after missions. SpaceX also touted B1067's previous missions including CRS-22, CRS-25, Crew 3, Crew 4, TelkomSat-113BT, Turksat-5B, Koreasat-6A, Eutelsat HOTBIRD-F2, Galileo L13, mPOWER-A, PSN MFS, and 13 Starlink missions, all totaling to 24 flights.
Falcon 9's Record-Breaking Feats
SpaceX and Elon Musk may be all about the Starship program as its future, with the Stainless Steel rocket soon making life multi-planetary and bringing humans farther than previous missions. However, it is not yet making a name for itself unlike what SpaceX did with the trusty Falcon 9, best known for being the company's workhorse over the years and fulfilling its astronaut launches to the ISS under NASA's Commercial Crew.
There are multiple Falcon 9 first-stage rockets at SpaceX's disposal, and this allowed the company to fulfill numerous flights in a year, as well as notable back-to-back missions like its most recent launches in Florida and California. In 2022, SpaceX used its Falcon 9 rocket to fly a total of 14 successive flights, making a new record feat, and in the same year, it also delivered a total of 143 satellites in only one launch.
Last year, SpaceX touted that its Falcon 9 booster rocket can fly twice as much compared to its previous capabilities, offering upgrades to the first-stage machine to deliver payloads to orbit and other types of missions. Now, SpaceX is touting the rocket's reusability again by launching the B1067 a total of 24 times in its lifetime, this makes it the first Falcon 9 rocket to do so in history, and soon, attempt to fly its 25th mission.
