SpaceX Missions Summary

The following list contains all SpaceX missions, in descending order of launch date. To save space, I have abbreviated the launch locations, orbits and booster landing locations. These are explained in the footnotes at the bottom of this page. Also, if a booster is used more than once, the first flight is appended with “.1” (e.g. B5 B1047.1), the second “.2” and so on, to track the number of uses of it.

For each mission in this table I have added a summary page with additional details, including mission patch and SpaceX webcast. Click on the mission name to see this. Furthermore, for boosters that have flown more than once (those with a .1, .2, etc after the number) I’ve added a flight history page summarizing this information. These pages are linked from the table below by clicking on the booster number.

(*) The Amos-6 mission was lost when the Falcon 9 exploded on the launchpad at Cape Canaveral on 01 Sep 2016, 13:07 UTC. The date & time shown here is when the launch was scheduled to take place.

Footnotes

The launch locations have been abbreviated as follows. Note that Omelek Island, a part of the Marshall Islands in the Pacific, is no longer in use and was only ever used for Falcon 1 launches during 2006-2009:

• CCAFS SLC-40 = Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Space Launch Complex 40, Florida.
• KSC LC-39A = Kennedy Space Center, Launch Complex 39-A, Florida (the same one used during the Apollo moon landings).
• VAFB SLC-4E = Vandenberg Air Force Base, Space Launch Complex 4E, California.

The orbits have been abbreviated as follows. At some point in the future I’ll include some more details on these types of orbits, but for now I’m just stating their names:

• GTO = Geostationary Transfer Orbit
• HCO = Heliocentric Orbit
• HEO = Highly Elliptical Orbit
• LEO = Low Earth Orbit
• MEO = Medium Earth Orbit
• SO = Suborbital Flight
• SSO = Sun-synchronous Orbit

The booster landing locations have been abbreviated as follows (note there is currently no landing zone 3):

• JRTI = Autonomous drone ship “Just Read The Instructions”
• JRTI-O = The original autonomous drone ship “Just Read The Instructions”. Was replaced by JRTI above.
• LZ1 = Landing Zone 1, Cape Canaveral, Florida
• LZ2 = Landing Zone 2, Cape Canaveral, Florida
• LZ4 = Landing Zone 4, Vandenberg AFB, California
• OCISLY = Autonomous drone ship “Of Course I Still Love You”
