Purpose edit

The purpose of this page was originally to note down information about reflown Falcon 9 cores in such a way that the use of individual cores can be followed, as there was previously no such page. However, such a page, List of Falcon 9 first-stage boosters, has later been created and some of the information can be found in the List of Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launches page as well. I've decided to keep updating this page as a pet project, though.

Similar pages:

Nomenclature edit

It seems most sensible to use the B1XXX numbers, as these seem to be unique identifiers for all rockets. The system is: B1XXX-Y (or possibly B1XXX.Y):

  • XXX is a unique number
  • Y is the number of times a core has flown.

Second hand source: [48]. Original Reddit AMA source seems to be lost.

List of Falcon launches since first landing edit

None of the Falcon 9 v1.1 boosters were successfully recovered (despite recovery attempts) and none of them seems to have been successfully identified in terms of booster numbers. It makes sense to include only boosters from Full Thrust and onwards in this list, as listings for F9 v.1.1 and v.1.0 would not add any value, data-wise, sorting-wise or otherwise, compared to List of Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launches.

Note: The table is sortable by all columns even though the default view has cells spanning several rows.

  1. ^ While no recovery of the booster was planned, SpaceX did go through the landing procedure for a water landing. Unexpectedly, the booster survived the landing and tipped over in the water.[34] The booster was later destroyed while at sea.[citation needed]
  2. ^ The booster lost control and landed in the ocean[69]

I've started filling in core numbers with unreliable sources (i.e. random Reddit posts etc.) and added a citation needed note. A proper source might not be available until the cores refly.

The below table shows how sources would be applied to a launch that is fully sources with all available sources.

Core ID Flight Mission Date Mission Outcome Launch Site Landing Recovery Core Status
Pivotal point and
basis for table 		Simple count Date:
  • Third-party source after the fact (numbers)
 Reference for the core's connection to mission:
  • Link to image showing core number (roman numerals)
  • Third-party source (ideally after) (numbers)
 Reference for mission outcome:
  • Third-party source after the fact (numbers)
 Referece for launch site
  • Official press kit stating plan (letters)
  • Third-party source after the fact (numbers)
 Reference for landing site
  • Official press kit stating plan (letters)
  • Third-party source after the fact (numbers)
 Entailment from
status column 		Ref for status
  • Third-party source after last landing (numbers)

Sorting in the Core Status column:

Core Status
Retired
Recovered, presumed to be relaunched
Flight proven, scheduled for launch
Unproven, scheduled for launch
Lost, flown as expendable
Lost due to failure

Temporary sources edit

Sources that should, ideally, be replaced over time, such as third-party sources stating a launch site ahead of time (should be be replaced with a third-party source stating the launch actually happened from the launch site in question, etc.).

  1. ^ Reddit claiming to have "reliable sources" B1026 won't fly again
  2. ^ a b StackExchange question explaining source and its inreliableness

SpaceX Press Kits edit

Used to source simple facts that SpaceX would have no reason to skew and which should be considered highly reliable and accurate, such as launch site, landing zone etc. Alongside the "normal" sources, this helps verify that simple information is not misreported and also indicates what may be original or unreliable research on part of the journalists. Note, especially, that the booster numbers are never in the press kits (and so should not be used as source for the connection between the mission and booster).

Visible core numbers in official media edit

These are references that border on original research, as the point that the core number is visible is not made by the primary party or a third party. However, it is very easily verifiable and may serve as an additional verification that any third-party sources are not based on inaccurate information.
