ファルコン9第一段ブースターは、 SpaceX社が製造するファルコン9およびファルコンヘビー軌道打ち上げロケットで使用される再利用可能なロケットブースターである。第一段ブースターの製造は、使用済みのファルコン9 1機の打ち上げ価格の約60%を占め[1](3機の場合は使用済みのファルコンヘビー1機の打ち上げ価格の80%以上)であるため、SpaceX社は打ち上げコストを大幅に削減するために、これらのブースターの回収と再利用に特化したプログラムを開発しました。 [要出典] 2010年という早い時期から、第二段から分離した後の第一段の再突入を制御する複数回の試みの後、2015年12月22日のフルスラストバージョンの初飛行で、第一段の制御された着陸に初めて成功しました。それ以来、ファルコン9の第1段ブースターは、365回の試みのうち353回着陸・回収されており、これにはファルコン・ヘビー飛行のほとんどのサイドブースターの同期回収も含まれています。
回収されたブースターは合計43基が改修され、その後少なくとも2回目の飛行が行われ、1基のブースターで23回のミッションと着陸を記録した。SpaceXはブロック3とブロック4のブースターの飛行をそれぞれ2回のミッションのみに制限していたが[2] [3]、同社は2018年にブロック5バージョンが軽微な改修のみで10回の飛行を達成すると予想していることを示した。このマイルストーンは、2021年のスターリンク27ミッションでブースターB1051によって初めて達成された。[4]この制限は数回延長されており、個々のブースターは23回もの飛行を行ったことがある。
ブロック 4 以前のブースターはすべて退役、消費、または紛失しています。ブロック 4 ブースターの最後の飛行は 2018 年 6 月でした。それ以降、アクティブな艦隊のブースターはすべてブロック 5 です。
ブースターの名前は、B の後に 4 桁の数字が続きます。最初の Falcon 9 バージョン v1.0 には、ブースター B0001 から B0007 がありました。それ以降のブースターはすべて、B1001 から順に番号が付けられ、数字の 1 は第 1 段ブースターを表します。
ブースターのリスト
v1.0 および v1.1
SpaceX は、1 回目と 2 回目の飛行で Falcon 9 v1.0 の第一段のパラシュート降下を試みたが、両方の試みでブースターは再突入時に分解し、計画は放棄されて推進着陸が選択された。ブースター B0002 ( Grasshopper ) と B1002 ( F9R Dev1 ) は、着陸技術を実証するためにテストサイトで短い推進ホップを行うように改造されたが、軌道ミッションには使用されなかった。3 つのブースターは軌道飛行で海へのソフト タッチダウンに成功したが、回収されなかった。
ブロック4までフルスラスト
ファルコン 9 フル スラスト (バージョン 1.2 / ブロック 3) は、着陸に成功した最初のファルコン 9 バージョンです。変更点には、パフォーマンスを向上させるために、燃料タンクの大型化、エンジンのアップグレード、過冷却推進剤と酸化剤が含まれています。このリストにはブロック 3 とブロック 4 が含まれていますが、アクティブなブロック 5 は別々にリストされています。ブロック 4 は、チタン グリッド フィンなどの新しいハードウェアを含むテスト バージョンで、後に現在のブロック 5 に引き継がれました。ブロック 4 までのすべてのファルコン 9 ロケットの飛行は 2 回のみに制限されており、これらのバリエーションの合計 14 回の 2 回目の飛行がありました。ブースターは、2 回目の打ち上げ後に退役するか、消費されました。
ブースター B1023 と B1025 は、もともとファルコン 9 ブースターでしたが、ファルコン ヘビーのテスト飛行のためにファルコン ヘビー サイド ブースターに改造されました。
ブロック5
ブースターには、ファルコン9(F9)、ファルコンヘビーコア(FHコア)ブースター、ファルコンヘビーサイド(FHサイド)ブースターの3種類がある。ファルコン9とファルコンヘビーサイドブースターは相互に再構成可能である。ファルコンヘビーコアブースターは、サイドブースターの構造サポート付きで製造されており、ファルコン9ブースターやファルコンヘビーサイドブースターに変換することはできない。[要出典]インターステージマウントハードウェアは、B1056以降に変更された。新しいインターステージ設計では、インターステージを固定するピンが少なくなり、ファルコン9ブースターをファルコンヘビーサイドブースターに変換するために必要な作業量が削減されている。[82]
ブロック 5 は、ファルコン 9 およびファルコン ヘビー ブースターの最新版です。変更点には、より強力なヒート シールド、アップグレードされたエンジン、新しい炭素複合材セクション (着陸脚、エンジン セクション、レースウェイ、RCS スラスタ、中間段)、格納式着陸脚、チタン グリッド フィン、および改修を簡素化して再利用を容易にするその他の追加機能が含まれます。
ブロック5のブースターは当初10回の打ち上げが認定されていたが[83] 、これは15回に増加された。ファルコン9 B1058とB1060は15回目の飛行後に「徹底的な」検査が行われ、 [84] SpaceXはファルコン9ブースターを20回のミッションに認定した。SpaceXは、一部のブースターが20回の飛行に達したため、ファルコンの再飛行認定をブースター1基あたり40回の飛行にさらに増加した。[85] [86]
2020年5月30日(クルードラゴンデモ2 )に初めて打ち上げられたB1058は、NASAのロゴが入った唯一のブースターでした。2022年9月11日、スターリンクミッション中に、14回の打ち上げと着陸を完了した最初のブースターとなり、フリートリーダーになりました。さらに5回のスターリンクミッションで、B1058は15、16、17、18、19回の打ち上げと着陸を達成し、これを初めて達成しました。B1062は現在フリートリーダーであり、ブースターの最初の20、21、22、23回目の飛行を達成し、B1061とほぼ匹敵しています。[87] B5ブースターの中で、B1058は最も多くの宇宙船(869機)を軌道に打ち上げた記録を保持しており、単一のブースターで軌道に打ち上げられた宇宙船の質量の記録はB1062(313,000 kg(690,000ポンド))が保持しています。B1061は現在、ファルコン9艦隊で最も古い現存するブースターです。
2024年9月6日現在[update]、スペースXは合計42基の新しいB5ブースターを運用しており、そのうち23基が破壊されている(15基は使用済み、6基は着陸失敗により失われ、2基は回収中に失われた)。[45]

統計
ファルコン9シリーズのロケットは14年間で389回打ち上げられ、そのうち386回は完全成功(99.23%)、2回は飛行中の失敗(SpaceX CRS-7とStarlink Group 9-3)、1回は部分的成功(国際宇宙ステーション(ISS)に貨物を届けたが、二次ペイロードが計画より低い軌道に取り残されたSpaceX CRS-1 )となっている。さらに、1機のロケットとそのペイロード( AMOS-6)は、発射台での静的燃焼試験に備えて打ち上げ前に破壊された。このロケットの現役バージョンであるファルコン9ブロック5は、321回の飛行に成功している。
2022年、ファルコン9は、暦年内に同じロケットタイプで60回の打ち上げに成功するという新記録を樹立した。これは、 1979年にソユーズUが保持していた47回の打ち上げ(うち成功45回)という以前の記録を上回った。 [232] 2023年には、ファルコンファミリーのロケット(ファルコンヘビーを含む)は96回の打ち上げに成功し、1980年のR-7ロケットファミリーの63回の打ち上げ(うち成功61回)を上回った。 [a] [233]
ファルコン9はいくつかのバージョンを経て進化してきました。バージョン1.0は2010年から2013年にかけて5回打ち上げられ、バージョン1.1は2013年から2016年にかけて15回打ち上げられ、フルスラストは2015年から2015年にかけて36回打ち上げられました。最新バージョンのブロック5は2018年5月に導入されました。[234]それぞれのイテレーションで、ファルコン9はより強力になり、垂直着陸が可能になりました。垂直着陸がより一般的になるにつれて、スペースXはブースターの改修プロセスを合理化し、より迅速かつコスト効率の高いものにすることに重点を置きました。[4]
ファルコンヘビー派生型は、ファルコン9第一段ブースター3基で構成された大型ロケットである。中央コアは強化されており、サイドブースターは通常の段間ブースターではなく空力ノーズコーンを備えている。[235]
ファルコン 9 の第 1 段ブースターは、365 回の試行のうち 353 回 (96.7%) で着陸に成功し、ファルコン 9 ブロック 5 バージョンでは 333 回のうち 328 回 ( 98.5%) で着陸に成功しました。合計 324 回の第 1 段ブースターの再飛行ではすべてペイロードの打ち上げに成功しました。

バッタ

Grasshopper consisted of "a Falcon 9 first-stage tank, a single Merlin-1D engine" with a height of 32 m (105 ft).[236] The booster used for Grasshopper had the serial number 0002.
Grasshopper began flight testing in September 2012 with a brief, three-second hop, followed by a second hop in November 2012 with an 8-second flight that took the testbed approximately 5.4 m (18 ft) off the ground, and a third flight in December 2012 of 29 seconds duration, with extended hover under rocket engine power, in which it ascended to an altitude of 40 m (130 ft) before descending under rocket power to come to a successful vertical landing.[237] Grasshopper made its eighth, and final, test flight on 7 October 2013, flying to an altitude of 744 m (2,441 ft) before making its eighth successful vertical landing.[238] Grasshopper is retired.[11]
Booster 1019
.jpg/500px-ORBCOMM-2_First-Stage_Landing_(23271687254).jpg)
Falcon 9 B1019 was the first Full Thrust booster, and was first launched on 22 December 2015 for Falcon 9 flight 20 and landed on the Landing Zone 1 (LZ‑1) at Cape Canaveral. It became the first orbital-class rocket booster to perform a successful return to launch site and vertical landing.[239][240][241]
SpaceX decided not to fly the booster again.[242] Rather, the rocket was moved a few miles north, refurbished by SpaceX at the adjacent Kennedy Space Center, to conduct a static fire test. This test aimed to assess the health of the recovered booster and the capability of this rocket design to fly repeatedly in the future.[243][239] The historic booster is on display outside SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne, California.
Booster 1021
.jpg/500px-CRS-8_(26239020092).jpg)
Falcon 9 B1021 was the first booster to be re-flown and the first to land on a droneship. It was first launched on 8 April 2016 carrying a Dragon spacecraft and Bigelow Expandable Activity Module (BEAM) on the SpaceX CRS-8 mission and landed on an autonomous spaceport drone ship (ASDS). After recovery, inspections and refurbishing, it was launched again on 30 March 2017 for the SES-10 mission and recovered successfully a second time. This event marks a milestone in SpaceX's drive to develop reusable rockets and reduce launch costs.[28][244][245][246][247] Following the second flight, SpaceX stated that they plan to retire this booster and donate it to Cape Canaveral for public display.[248][249] It was later put on public display outside Dish Network's headquarters in Littleton, Colorado in October 2023.[30]
Boosters 1023 and 1025
.jpg/500px-Falcon_Heavy_Side_Boosters_landing_on_LZ1_and_LZ2_-_2018_(25254688767).jpg)
B1023 became the third orbital-class rocket to land on a droneship after launching Thaicom 8 into a geostationary transfer orbit on 27 May 2016. It was an unusually hard landing that crushed the energy absorbers on at least one of the landing legs, causing the booster to "walk" across the droneship and lean over,[250][251] but the rocket arrived safely at Port Canaveral.[252] B1025[253] successfully launched the CRS-9 resupply mission on its maiden flight on 18 July 2016 and landed on LZ-1, being the first after B1019 to do so.[254] The mission carried a new docking adapter specifically designed for autonomous spacecraft to the ISS in preparation for Dragon 2 resupply and Commercial Crew missions.[255]
B1023 and B1025 were assigned the role of side boosters for the Falcon Heavy test flight in 2017, after which they underwent separate static fire tests. The boosters were mated to a newly built Falcon Heavy core, B1033, for the flight.[256] The maiden flight of Falcon Heavy on 6 February 2018 launched SpaceX CEO Elon Musk's Tesla Roadster and a dummy astronaut into a Mars-crossing heliocentric orbit. The boosters successfully separated from the core and performed synchronized landings on LZ-1 and LZ-2.[257]
B1023 is on display at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in its Falcon Heavy side booster configuration.[37]
Booster 1046
.jpg/500px-Spaceflight_SSO-A_Mission_(44460659210).jpg)
B1046 was the first Block 5, the final version of the SpaceX Falcon 9. It was first launched on 11 May 2018, carrying Bangabandhu-1, Bangladesh's first geostationary communications satellite. This marked the 54th flight of the Falcon 9 and the first flight of the Falcon 9 Block 5.[258] After completing a successful ascent, B1046 landed on the drone ship Of Course I Still Love You. After inspection and refurbishment, B1046 was launched a second time on 7 August 2018, carrying the Telkom-4 (Merah Putih) satellite. The Telkom-4 mission marked the first time an orbital-class rocket booster launched two GTO missions. This was also the first re-flight of a Block 5 booster.[259] Four months after the Telkom-4 mission, B1046 arrived at Vandenberg Air Force Base to support the SSO-A mission. Following delays for additional satellite checks,[260] liftoff occurred from SLC-4E on 3 December 2018. This marked the first time that the same orbital-class booster flew three times.[261] Its fourth and last mission launched a Crew Dragon capsule up to the point of maximum dynamic pressure, where it separated from the rocket to test its abort system in flight to validate the system's safety for crews. After separation of Falcon and Dragon, B1046 was compromised by aerodynamic forces.
Booster 1048
B1048 was the third Falcon 9 Block 5 to fly and the second Block 5 booster to re-fly, and the first booster ever to be launched four, then five times. During the last launch, an engine shut down seconds before the planned shutdown, becoming only the second time a Merlin engine failed since the failure during the SpaceX CRS-1 in October 2012. The primary mission was unaffected and the Starlink payload deployed successfully,[262] further confirming the reliability of the rocket due to redundancy of the engines. With reduced thrust, B1048 was unable to sufficiently slow down its descent, and thus was unable to land.[263]
Booster 1049
B1049 was the oldest Falcon 9 booster on active duty until its last flight on Nov 22, 2022, after which this title went to B1052. It was the first to successfully launch and land six, then seven times, and the second to launch and land eight, nine, and then ten times respectively. It launched two commercial payloads, Telstar 18V and the eighth Iridium NEXT batch, and eight internal Starlink batches.[264] B1049 was seen with its landing legs and grid fins removed indicating that it would be expended on its next flight. The final flight of B1049 was originally thought to be O3b mPower 4-6 but a regrouping of the launches meant that an expendable booster was no longer required. It was then planned that B1049's last flight would be the launch of Nilesat-301 however, those plans changed and the mission was flown with a recoverable booster (B1062.7). B1049 flew the Eutelsat-10B communications satellite on November 22, 2022. This mission was its last flight.
Booster 1050
B1050 launched for the first time on 5 December 2018.[265][266] A grid fin malfunction occurred shortly after the entry burn, resulting in the booster performing a controlled landing in the ocean instead of the planned ground pad landing.[267]
No future flights for B1050 were planned, and it was scrapped due to its damage.[268]
Booster 1051
B1051 was the sixth Falcon 9 Block 5 booster built. On its maiden flight on 2 March 2019, it carried a Crew Dragon into orbit on the Demo-1 mission. It then flew its second mission out of Vandenberg AFB launching the Radarsat constellation. It then flew 4 Starlink missions and launched SXM-7, totaling 5 flights in 2020 alone, and becoming the first Falcon 9 to launch a commercial payload on its seventh flight. On 18 December 2021, it flew for a record 11th time.[269] It was the first booster to be used eight, nine, ten, eleven, and twelve times respectively. It flew for the final time on 12 November 2022 for the Intelsat G-31/G-32 mission, and was expended.
Booster 1056
B1056 first launched on 4 May 2019, carrying a Cargo Dragon to the ISS. Because of the failure of the static test fire of Crew Dragon C204's Super-Draco abort engines on LZ-1, it landed on a drone ship instead.[270] It flew three more times. On 17 February 2020, B1056 was planned to perform the 50th orbital-class rocket landing, just 27 days after its previous launch.[271] The booster soft-landed in the Atlantic Ocean and was severely damaged after launching Starlink satellites into orbit, becoming the first flight-proven Block 5 booster to fail landing.[137]
Booster 1058
.jpg/500px-DM-2_Falcon_Rollout_(cropped).jpg)
Falcon 9 B1058 was first launched on 30 May 2020, from Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 39A (Apollo 11 launch site). It carried NASA astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken to the International Space Station. It was the first crewed orbital spaceflight launched from the United States since the final Space Shuttle mission, and the first crewed flight test of Dragon 2. It was the first crewed orbital spaceflight by a private company. The booster was the first and only Falcon 9 booster to feature NASA's worm logo and meatball insignia, which was reintroduced after last being used in 1992.[272]
On 11 September 2022, it flew for the 14th time and became the first booster to be recovered 14 times.[273] On 17 December 2022, it was also the first booster to fly and land for the 15th time.[274] On 10 July 2023, it broke the reusability record of flying and landing an orbital-class rocket booster for the 16th time and later went on to be the first to complete 17, 18, and 19 launches in the same year.[275]
Despite the successful landing in its nineteenth flight, the booster tipped over during transit due to rough seas and high winds. SpaceX has already equipped newer Falcon boosters with upgraded landing legs that have the capability to self-level and mitigate this type of issue.[276]
Booster 1060
B1060 first flew on 30 June 2020, a month after Demo-2. Further missions it supported include launches of Starlink v1, v1.5 and v2 Mini, two Transporter ridesharing missions, and three large commercial satellites. After becoming the senior active rocket for SpaceX on 25 December 2023, it was assigned to what would become the first successful commercial Lunar landing: the booster launched IM-1 on 15 February 2024. This was its eighteenth mission.[277]
Booster 1061
Falcon 9 B1061 first launched Crew-1 to the ISS in November 2020, the first operational flight of Crew Dragon, and landed on a drone ship.[278] It became the first booster to fly crew twice as well as the first reused booster to fly crew as a part of the Crew-2 mission.[279] This first stage went on to complete additional missions.[180] B1061 is the only booster to land on all of SpaceX's different landing zones and drone ships (not including LZ-2).
Booster 1062
Falcon 9 B1062 launched Inspiration4 in 2021, operated by SpaceX on behalf of Shift4 Payments CEO Jared Isaacman.[280] The mission launched the Crew Dragon Resilience on 16 September 2021 at 00:02:56 UTC[a] from the Florida Kennedy Space Center's Launch Complex 39A atop a Falcon 9 launch vehicle, placed the Dragon capsule into low Earth orbit,[258] and ended successfully on 18 September 2021 at 23:06:49 UTC,[281] when the Resilience splashed down in the Atlantic Ocean. B1062 holds the record for the fastest booster turnaround time at 21 days and 4 hours between 8 April 2022 (Axiom-1) and 29 April 2022 (Starlink Group 4–16) beating the previous record of 27 days and 6 hours held by B1060. This was the first time a booster had flown twice in the same calendar month. According to the SpaceX webcast of the Starlink Group 4-16 mission, the booster spent just nine days in refurbishment. This booster was the first booster to achieve 20 launches and landings. This booster completed 22 successful launch and landings, before tipping over on its 23rd landing on the droneship A Shortfall of Gravitas during the Starlink 8-6 mission.[282]
Booster 1069
Falcon 9 B1069 launched SpaceX CRS-24 to ISS in December 2021 for NASA. SpaceX achieved the feat of 100 successful orbital rocket booster landings in this mission, coinciding with the sixth anniversary of its first booster landing. The rough seas led to the Octagrabber robot not being able to secure the booster to the deck, leading to both the booster, droneship and the Octagrabber robot being heavily damaged in transit.[283] It took months for SpaceX to refurbish B1069, returning into service only on Group 4-23 mission in August 2022.
On its next flight for Eutelsat Hotbird 13F, B1069 included a hosted promotional payload by FIFA, that was a box powered by Starlink containing two Adidas Al Rihla (the Journey) balls, that were to be used in 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.[284] These match balls were launched and brought back by landing on the drone-ship surviving the stresses of re-entry. Later, they were taken out and shipped back to Qatar for the world cup. This was the first payload on a Falcon 9 booster itself and demonstrated the reusability.[285] The balls' flight by SpaceX was, in part, a promotion for the company's Starlink satellite internet service. An associated website invited World Cup attendees to visit the Starlink office in Doha.[286]
