SpaceX Falcon 9: Revolutionizing Space Launches

Falcon 9 is a partially reusable rocket developed by SpaceX, first launched in 2010.
It is named after the Millennium Falcon and its nine first-stage engines.
Falcon 9 can carry over 22,000 kilograms to low Earth orbit.
Its signature feature is a reusable first stage that lands vertically after launch.
In 2015, Falcon 9 made history with the first successful booster landing.
It is the workhorse rocket for NASA, commercial satellites, and Starlink missions.
Falcon 9 launched astronauts from U.S. soil again in 2020 after a nine-year gap.
It has flown more missions than any other currently active rocket.
Frequent reuse has dramatically lowered launch costs, reshaping the space industry.
Falcon 9’s success paved the way for SpaceX’s even larger Starship rocket.
