Rockets from the Falcon 9 family have been launched 436 times over 15 years, resulting in 433 full successes (99.31%), two in-flight failures (SpaceX CRS-7 and Starlink Group 9–3), and one partial success (SpaceX CRS-1, which delivered its cargo to the International Space Station (ISS), but a secondary payload was stranded in a lower-than-planned orbit).
Falcon 9 is a partially reusable, human-rated, two-stage-to-orbit, medium-lift launch vehicle [a] designed and manufactured in the United States by SpaceX.The first Falcon 9 launch was on 4 June 2010, and the first commercial resupply mission to the International Space Station (ISS) launched on 8 October 2012.

The Thai communication satellite was the second GTO launch for Falcon 9. The USAF evaluated launch data from this flight as part of a separate certification program for SpaceX to qualify to fly military payloads, but found that the launch had "unacceptable fuel reserves at engine cutoff of the stage 2 second burnoff".

SpaceX quickly resumes launches. By Saturday, SpaceX declared itself back up and running by sending a Falcon 9 rocket soaring into the predawn Florida sky.
The launch contract was awarded to SpaceX for US$50.3 million, [235] and is the smallest dedicated payload ever launched by Falcon 9 launch vehicle. [236] However, the required exact equatorial orbit required an orbital plane change that meant an approximately 30% of Falcon 9's maximum theoretical performance for such an orbital profile (1.5-2 ...
Heaviest Falcon 9 launch carrying an east-coast Starlink network launch for 53.2° inclination orbit located at 540 km altitude. This flight, Group 4-23, was moved from 39A to 40 to de-conflict with Artemis I operations at 39B, and booster B1069.2 from the 4-20 mission was swapped with B1067.6. [99] 58 Group 3-4 v1.5 2022-105
