Mission Profile

The Falcon 9 v1.2 Block 5 (Falcon 9 Block 5, F9 B5) is a two-stage American launch vehicle in the Falcon 9 family, the final and most refined variant designed for maximum reusability with a flight-proven booster capable of ten or more reflights. Standing 70 m tall with a 3.7 m core diameter and a liftoff mass of 549 tonnes, it generates 7,607 kN of liftoff thrust and can deliver 22,800 kg to low Earth orbit or 8,300 kg to geostationary transfer orbit. First flying in May 2018, the Falcon 9 Block 5 has become the world's most frequently launched orbital rocket, dominating the global commercial launch market with its combination of reliability, reusability, and competitive pricing.
