List of Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launches (2010–2019)
This page details all Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy orbital launch attempts conducted by SpaceX between June 2010 and December 2019. This period represents the initial operational phase of the Falcon 9 rocket and the introduction of the Falcon Heavy, a derivative vehicle using three Falcon 9 cores.
The list includes information on each launch, such as the launch date and time (UTC), the launch site, the rocket variant used (e.g., Falcon 9 v1.0, Falcon 9 v1.1, Falcon 9 FT, Falcon Heavy), the payload(s) carried, the payload mass, the target orbit, and the outcome of the launch (Success, Partial Failure, Failure). Notable launches within this timeframe include the first Falcon 9 launch in 2010, early commercial resupply missions to the International Space Station (ISS) under NASA's Commercial Resupply Services (CRS) program, the deployment of various communications satellites, technology demonstration missions, and the inaugural Falcon Heavy launch in 2018.
The data is compiled from publicly available sources, including SpaceX press releases, official government reports (such as those from NASA and the FAA), and reputable spaceflight news outlets. The information is updated periodically to reflect any new findings or corrections. The listed payloads include both primary payloads and secondary payloads (rideshares), where applicable. Payload mass is listed in kilograms (kg) when available. Orbit types are generally categorized (e.g., Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO), Sun-Synchronous Orbit (SSO)).
The success, partial failure, or failure designation reflects the overall outcome of the mission. A "Success" indicates that the rocket placed the payload(s) into the intended orbit. A "Partial Failure" indicates that the rocket reached orbit but failed to deliver the payload(s) to the precise intended orbit or experienced significant anomalies that affected the mission objectives. A "Failure" indicates that the rocket failed to reach orbit or was destroyed during flight.
This list serves as a historical record of SpaceX's Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launch activities during a pivotal period in the company's development and the evolution of commercial spaceflight.
