This reliability of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket has yet again established it as the company’s dependable workhorse. Even as attention has focused on the aspirational Starship program, the SpaceX Falcon 9 continues to push the envelope. SpaceX managed nine launches in the final ten days of August alone — one of those was a Starship test flight; nine were Falcon 9 missions. Included among those launches was a Falcon 9 booster that has now become the first rocket on the planet to fly and land 30 times. This incredible achievement speaks to SpaceX’s unparalleled lead in rocket reusability.
In 2025, Exciting News for SpaceX Falcon 9 Missions — 112
As of 2025, SpaceX has done 112 rocket missions so far, with the company on pace to complete 150 missions this year. Most of these missions have been starred along with place on space leans, which are further establishing SpaceX’s internet satellite constellation.
The latest launch was from Cape Canaveral and went up 28 Starlink satellites, bringing the total number of satellites deployed in the past ten days of August to 132. The SpaceX Falcon 9 has emerged as the workhorse of this endeavor, with its rapid satellite delivery capabilities.
Military and Research Deployments of SpaceX Falcon 9
But not all of those nine missions were dedicated Starlink flights. One was civilian and two were military launches, a testament to SpaceX’s Falcon 9 versatility. The other launched a Sun-synchronous orbit reconnaissance satellite for the military of Luxembourg. A second mission which launched the X-37B spaceplane into orbit supported the U.S. Space Force, a collaboration that dates back to 2021.
For example, this X-37B mission was significant in that it included a quantum inertial sensor in support of the Defense Innovation Unit’s Transition of Quantum Sensing (TQS) program. The sensor to test a new kind of navigation technology in space with reduced dependence on GPS.
The Stage That Forever Changed Rocket Reusability
Without a doubt, the big event of the month was the booster that flew its 30th mission. As noted by SpaceX, that record-breaking booster flew 19 Starlink missions, four NASA missions and several other international satellite deliveries. This would cost trips, including two of the crewed NASA launches toward the space station and two for cargo resupply.
The SpaceX Falcon 9 is a very versatile rocket and has other clients besides this one, such as the European Commission and an Indonesian telecom company. While this 30-flight mark may be the ceiling for how many times a booster can be reused, it’s a limit that shows just how far the company has come in driving down launch costs.
Starship Also Makes Progress
In addition to Falcon 9, SpaceX put its Starship vehicle through its paces, too. Splash Down:Starship Flight 10 managed to splash in the Indian Ocean — a vast improvement on previous flights. Starship is still being developed, but these incremental achievements are essential for longer missions deeper into the solar system.
What Comes Next for SpaceX Falcon 9
SpaceX rounded out August with another batch of 28 Starlink satellites launched in the early hours. The company isn’t slowing down; its next Falcon 9 mission is slated for Wednesday. At this rate, SpaceX won’t just hit its 2025 goal of 150 missions, it will surpass it, establishing the SpaceX Falcon 9 as the most reliable rocket of all time.
FAQs
Falcon 9 from SpaceX has flown 112 missions in 2025, and will probably deliver 150 flights by the end of the year.
For 31st time in mission history, a Falcon 9 booster flew and safely landed setting a new all-time record for reusable rocket.
On this flight, the Falcon 9 orbited a Luxembourg reconnaissance satellite and released the X-37B spaceplane of the U.S. Space Force, which carried a quantum inertial sensor.
Altogether during the month, SpaceX have flown a total of five dedicated missions of the Falcon 9 with eight starlink satellites per mission for a total of 132 launches.
