The SpaceXFalcon 9Core Booster 1021rocket (B1021) is a Falcon 9 first stage core, the booster stage for the Falcon 9 orbital launch vehicle.[1][2] It is the first reusable launch vehicle orbital-class booster to be reused in the history of rocketry. This Falcon 9 core was used for the first time on the 8th of April 2016 during Falcon 9 Flight 23, the CRS-8 mission initially, landed successfully, and then relaunched for the first time on the 30th of March 2017 during Falcon 9 Flight 32, the SES-10 mission, and also recovered successfully. The first reuse of a paying mission rocket marks a milestone in the drive to reduce launch costs and rocket reuse.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
