Falcon 9
A two-stage orbital launch vehicle developed by SpaceX featuring a recoverable and reusable first stage that lands vertically. It is among the highest-flight-rate commercial launch vehicles in operation globally.
Core Facts
Timeline (last 90 days)
Starship has a payload capacity far exceeding that of the Falcon rocket, allowing it to carry more and larger satellites into orbit in a single launch.
V2.0 Mini is currently the primary variant carried by Falcon 9, and has already achieved a significant improvement in throughput over V1.5.
SpaceX's Falcon 9 uses liquid oxygen/kerosene propellant, while Europe's Ariane 5 uses liquid oxygen/liquid hydrogen.
Stoke Space's core goal is to achieve full reusability of both the first and second stages of its rocket, distinguishing it from SpaceX's Falcon 9, which only recovers the first stage.
SpaceX's Falcon 9 first stage has accumulated more than 300 successful recoveries.
As of 2025, a single SpaceX Falcon 9 booster has achieved more than 20 reuses.
