SpaceX launched its first Falcon 9 rocket on June 4, 2010. Since then it has gone through five major revisions, leading to the current Block 5 model that is used to launch satellites, robotic planetary missions and astronauts. The most launched U.S. rocket in history, of its 500th missions, all but five were successful.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 booster is set to make history tonight as it launches — and lands — for a record 29th time. The spaceflight company is targeting 1:29 a.m. ET on Wednesday, July 2 (10:29 p.m. PT Tuesday night) for the Falcon 9 launch of 27 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Cape Canaveral in Florida.
