Milestone Moments
The flights that changed the program and, in some cases, the industry.
- March 2006 — Falcon 1 Flight 1. The first privately funded liquid-fueled rocket to reach orbit would come later, but this was the start.
- September 2008 — Falcon 1 Flight 4. First privately developed liquid-fuel rocket to reach orbit.
- December 2010 — COTS Demo Flight 1. First Dragon spacecraft in orbit and first private spacecraft recovered from orbit.
- May 2012 — COTS Demo Flight 2. First commercial spacecraft to dock with the International Space Station.
- December 2015 — Orbcomm OG2 landing. First successful vertical landing of an orbital rocket booster, at Landing Zone 1.
- March 2017 — SES-10. First reflight of an orbital class booster. The same Falcon 9 had flown before.
- February 2018 — Falcon Heavy demo. Two side boosters landed simultaneously at Cape Canaveral.
- May 2020 — Demo-2. First crewed SpaceX launch and first crewed U.S. launch since the Shuttle retired.
- 2023 — 98 launches in one calendar year. A pace no other launch provider has matched.
- April 2023 onward — Starship integrated test flights. The largest and most powerful rocket ever flown, testing full-stack reuse.
About this reference
Why this page exists
SpaceX flies so often that it is hard to keep track. News sites cover the latest launch. Forums argue about landing records. Students look up dates for school projects. This page is meant to be the place you bookmark when you want the full picture in one scroll.
It is not a live feed. It is a curated, readable record of the missions that mattered, with enough context to understand why each one was a big deal.
How to read the timeline
Each card shows the mission name, date, rocket, payload type, primary outcome, and landing result. Click the card to expand a short note with more context. Milestone missions are marked with a small badge so you can jump straight to turning points.
Use the filter bar to narrow the list. For example, choose "Crew" under Payload and "Success" under Outcome to see only crewed missions that completed their primary objective.
What this page does not do
It does not predict future launches. It does not track every sub-component test. It is not an official SpaceX product. All data comes from public sources and may have small errors for older flights. If you spot a mistake, use the feedback link in the footer.
Common questions
Why is a mission marked as a partial success? Some flights delivered the primary payload but lost a secondary experiment or had a minor anomaly. Those are marked as partial rather than full success.
Why do some landings say "No attempt"? Early Falcon 9 flights did not try to land. Some missions flew expendable configurations or flew too far downrange for a return.
Can I use this in a school project? Yes. Cite the page and the date you accessed it, and you are good to go.
