LocationLaunch Complex 39AKennedy Space Center, FL, USA192 rockets have launched from Kennedy Space Center, FL, USA. RocketFalcon 9Length: 70 meters Diameter: 3.65 meters First Launch: May 11, 2018Falcon 9 is a two-stage rocket designed and manufactured by SpaceX for the reliable and safe transport of satellites and the Dragon spacecraft into orbit. The Block 5 variant is the fifth major interval aimed at improving upon the ability for rapid reusability.The Falcon 9 rocket has been launched a total of 74 times with 74 successful and 0 failed launches. LandingB1051 has successfully landed on ASDS JRTI after its 8th launch.Just Read the Instructions – JRTIFirst (Marmac 300) and third (Marmac 303) ASDS barge, Just Read the Instructions (JRTI) is currently used to recover Falcon 9 and Heavy boosters in the Altantic Ocean.Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship – ASDSAn autonomous spaceport drone ship (ASDS) is an ocean-going vessel derived from a deck barge, outfitted with station-keeping engines and a large landing platform. Construction of such ships was commissioned by aerospace company SpaceX to allow for recovery of rocket first-stages at sea for high-velocity missions which do not carry enough fuel to return to the launch site after lofting spacecraft onto an orbital trajectory.
