Booster N 2 O 4 / UDMH: Gas generator ... Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Booster [k]
The last flight of a Block 4 booster was in June 2018. Since then all boosters in the active fleet are Block 5. Booster names are a B followed by a four-digit number. The first Falcon 9 version, v1.0, had boosters B0001 to B0007. All following boosters were numbered sequentially starting at B1001, the number 1 standing for first-stage booster.
[note 2] Liquid-propellant rockets have a motor that feeds liquid propellant(s) into a combustion chamber. Most liquid engines use a bipropellant , consisting of two liquid propellants (fuel and oxidizer) which are stored and handled separately before being mixed and burned inside the combustion chamber.
[1] [2] Boosters are traditionally necessary to launch spacecraft into low Earth orbit (absent a single-stage-to-orbit design), and are especially important for a space vehicle to go beyond Earth orbit. [citation needed] The booster is dropped to fall back to Earth once its fuel is expended, a point known as booster engine cut-off (BECO). [3]
Unlike Booster 7, Booster 9 had no engine failures until the beginning of the boostback burn, when it exploded for currently unknown reasons. [218] Ship 25 reached a final velocity of over 15000 mph before being destroyed by its flight termination system. [219] Booster 10 and Ship 28 were flown on Integrated Flight Test 3, on March 14, 2024. [220]
Booster 4 was the first vehicle intended to fly on Starship's Flight Test 1. It was the first Super Heavy to be stacked with Starship, [81] and conducted multiple cryogenic tests before being retired in favor of Booster 7 and Ship 24. [82] Booster 7 being tested on the orbital launch pad at Starbase, Boca Chica, Texas in February 2023.

Falcon 9 B1060 was a Falcon 9 first-stage booster manufactured and operated by SpaceX. It was the senior active booster vehicle for the company [1] since the demise of B1058 on 25 December 2023 during transit back to shore, until being expended for the Galileo FOC FM25 & FM27 mission on 28 April 2024. [2] It had flown 20 missions and landed 19 ...
