SpaceX Falcon 9 Booster Sets Reusability Record with 34th Flight
72 FOMOSpaceX booster B1067 completed its record-breaking 34th launch and landing on March 30, 2026, lifting off from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral at 5:15 p.m. EDT with 29 Starlink satellites on the Starlink 10-44 mission. The booster recovered on droneship Just Read the Instructions in the Atlantic Ocean. B1067 entered the fleet in June 2021 and has supported crewed missions including Crew-3 and Crew-4, two NASA CRS cargo flights, and 23 Starlink batches. The record eclipses the previous mark of 33 flights set by the same booster one month earlier.
Why it matters
B1067 is normalizing what SpaceX once called aspirational — a single booster outlasting multiple national space programs. At 34 flights, the amortized hardware cost per launch is approaching the territory where booster refurbishment is cheaper than new production.
