Which rocket booster has flown the most times?

B1067, a Falcon 9 first stage, with 37 flights — its first on Jun 3, 2021 and its latest on Aug 25, 2026. It is still in service.

How many times can a Falcon 9 booster be reused?

SpaceX’s 2026 IPO prospectus, as reported by Spaceflight Now, says its boosters “have been engineered and demonstrated to support up to 40 flights”, while it books them for an accounting useful life of 25 flights. Whether a given booster gets there also depends on its missions — some are deliberately expended on their final flight.

What is the fastest booster turnaround?

B1088 holds the shortest gap between two flights of the same orbital booster in this list: 9.2 days.

Has any rocket other than Falcon reused a booster?

Yes. New Glenn GS1-SN002 (2 flights), Starship Booster 15 (2 flights), Starship Booster 14 (2 flights). Blue Origin’s suborbital New Shepard also refly their boosters but are listed separately because they do not go to orbit.

Top 25 boosters by flights

Orbital-class first stages that have flown at least twice. Falcon Heavy side boosters and center cores count as boosters in their own right; a final flight on which the booster was deliberately not recovered still counts as a flight.

How long can a booster last?

SpaceX’s stated goal is to certify Falcon boosters for up to 40 flights. Its 2026 IPO prospectus, as quoted by Spaceflight Now, puts it two ways: the boosters “have been engineered and demonstrated to support up to 40 flights”, but the company books them for “a maximum accounting useful life of 25 flights”. 9 boosters on this list are already past 25.

Where a booster actually stops also depends, as Spaceflight Now notes, on the missions it flies and whether one of them needs it expended — which is why some “Expended” boosters sit high on this table.

Beyond Falcon

New Glenn GS1-SN002 — 2 flights, Nov 13, 2025 to Apr 19, 2026 (active). Second New Glenn first stage booster.
Starship Booster 15 — 2 flights, Mar 6, 2025 to Oct 13, 2025 (lost). Reused on the 11th Starship flight test and completed a planned high speed water splashdown.
Starship Booster 14 — 2 flights, Jan 16, 2025 to May 27, 2025 (destroyed). Reused on the 9th Starship flight test for a planned high speed water splashdown but destroyed during landing burn.

Boosters that were lost

Reuse has a failure record too. These reused boosters were lost on landing, at sea or in transport rather than retired:

B1062 (Falcon 9, 23 flights, last Aug 28, 2024) — Destroyed during its 23rd landing attempt on ASOG on 28 August 2024.
B1058 (Falcon 9, 19 flights, last Dec 23, 2023) — Written off after toppled by rough seas during transport on 25 December 2023 after safely landing aboard JRTI.
B1059 (Falcon 9, 6 flights, last Feb 16, 2021) — Exploded upon ocean impact a safe distance from OCISLY
B1086 (Falcon 9, 5 flights, last Mar 3, 2025) — Written off on 3 March 2025 after safely landing aboard JRTI due to post-landing aft end fire damaging one of the landing legs and tipping it overboard.
B1048 (Falcon 9, 5 flights, last Mar 18, 2020) — Landing burn not performed after premature engine shutdown during ascent
B1056 (Falcon 9, 4 flights, last Feb 17, 2020) — Missed the droneship and made successful water landing; apparently scuttled at sea afterward.

Suborbital: New Shepard

Blue Origin’s New Shepard boosters fly to about 100 km and land, then refly — but a suborbital hop needs a fraction of the speed of an orbital launch, so they are kept off the main table: NS-4 (17 flights, active), NS-3 (9 flights, destroyed), NS-5 (6 flights, active), NS-2 (5 flights, retired).

About this data

Flight, landing and turnaround figures come from Launch Library 2 by The Space Devs, a community-maintained launch database. This page re-reads it every 4 hours; last updated Nov 6, 2026.
“Landings” counts successful landings out of attempted ones. “Fastest turnaround” is the shortest gap between two consecutive flights of that booster.
Statuses: expended — flown a final time without recovery; lost or destroyed — not recovered intact; retired — withdrawn, often to a museum.
