SpaceX flies a Falcon 9 booster for a record 36th time
SpaceX set a new rocket-reuse record on July 9, launching its most-flown Falcon 9 first stage, booster B1067, for a 36th time on the Starlink 10-42 mission from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral at 5:25 a.m. EDT. The flight added 29 Starlink broadband satellites to the constellation, and about eight minutes after liftoff B1067 landed on the droneship 'A Shortfall of Gravitas' - the 160th landing for that vessel and the 635th booster landing in SpaceX history. B1067, which debuted in 2021, extends its lead as the most-flown booster in the fleet.
