2020 In late 2019, Gwynne Shotwell stated that SpaceX hoped for as many as 24 launches for Starlink satellites in 2020, in addition to 14 or 15 non-Starlink launches. At 26 launches, 14 of which were for Starlink satellites, Falcon 9 had its most prolific year, and Falcon rockets were second most prolific rocket family of 2020, only behind China's Long March rocket family.

Flight No. Date andtime (UTC) Version,booster Launchsite Payload Payload mass Orbit Customer Launchoutcome Boosterlanding 78 7 January 202002:19:21 F9 B5B1049-4 Cape Canaveral, SLC40 Starlink: Launch 2 (60satellites) LEO SpaceX (OCISLY) Launch of 60 Starlink v1 satellites to a orbit at an inclination of 70° to expand internet constellation. One satellite included a test coating to make the satellite less reflective, and thus less likely to interfere with ground-based astronomical observations. 79 19 January 202015:30 F9 B5B1046-4 Kennedy, LC39A Crew Dragon in-flight abort test(Dragon C205.1) Sub-orbital NASA (CTS) An atmospheric test of the Dragon 2 abort system after Max Q. The capsule fired its SuperDraco engines, reached an apogee of , deployed parachutes, and splashed down in the ocean downrange from the launch site. The test was previously slated to be accomplished with the Crew Dragon Demo-1 capsule; but that test article exploded during a ground test of SuperDraco engines on 20 April 2019. The abort test used the capsule originally intended for the first crewed flight. As expected, the booster was destroyed by aerodynamic forces after the capsule aborted. First flight of a Falcon 9 with only one functional stage — the second stage had a mass simulator in place of its engine. 80 29 January 202014:07 F9 B5B1051-3 Cape Canaveral, SLC40 Starlink: Launch 3 (60satellites) LEO SpaceX (OCISLY) Launch of 60 Starlink v1 satellites to a orbit at an inclination of 53° to expand internet constellation. One of the fairing halves was caught, while the other was fished out of the ocean. 81 17 February 202015:05 F9 B5B1056-4 Cape Canaveral, SLC40 Starlink: Launch 4 (60satellites) LEO SpaceX (OCISLY) Launch of 60 Starlink v1 satellites to a orbit at an inclination of 53° to expand internet constellation. The first stage booster failed to land on the drone ship due to incorrect wind data. This was the first time a flight proven booster failed to land. 82 7 March 202004:50 F9 B5B1059-2 Cape Canaveral, SLC40 SpaceX CRS-20 (Dragon C112.3) (excl. Dragon mass) LEO (ISS) NASA (CRS) (LZ1) Last launch of phase 1 of the CRS contract. Carries Bartolomeo, an ESA platform for hosting external payloads onto ISS. Originally scheduled to launch on 2 March 2020, the launch date was pushed back due to a second stage engine failure. SpaceX decided to swap out the second stage instead of replacing the faulty part. It was SpaceX's third flight of the Dragon C112 and the last launch of the Cargo Dragon spacecraft. 83 18 March 202012:16 F9 B5B1048-5 Kennedy, LC39A Starlink: Launch 5 (60satellites) LEO SpaceX (OCISLY) Launch of 60 Starlink v1 satellites to a orbit at an inclination of 53° to expand internet constellation. It was the first time a first stage booster flew for a fifth time and the second time the fairings were reused (Starlink flight in May 2019). Towards the end of the first stage burn, the booster suffered premature shut down of an engine, the first of a Merlin 1D variant and first since the CRS-1 mission in October 2012. However, the payload still reached the targeted orbit. This was the second Starlink launch booster landing failure in a row, later revealed to be caused by residual cleaning fluid trapped inside a sensor. 84 22 April 202019:30 F9 B5B1051-4 Kennedy, LC39A Starlink: Launch 6 (60satellites) LEO SpaceX (OCISLY) Launch of 60 Starlink v1 satellites to a orbit at an inclination of 53° to expand internet constellation. The 84th flight of the Falcon 9 rocket, it surpassed Atlas V to become the most-flown operational US rocket. Used fairings launched on AMOS-17 (August 2019). 85 30 May 202019:22 F9 B5 B1058-1 Kennedy, LC39A Crew Dragon Demo-2 (Crew Dragon C206.1 Endeavour) LEO (ISS) NASA (CCDev) (OCISLY) First crewed orbital spaceflight from American soil since Space Shuttle STS-135 in July 2011, carrying NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley to the International Space Station. The SpaceX live stream was peaked at 4.1 million viewers, while NASA estimated roughly 10 million people watched on various online platforms, and approximately 150,000 people gathered on Florida's space coast despite the risks of the COVID-19 pandemic. 86 4 June 202001:25 F9 B5B1049-5 Cape Canaveral, SLC40 Starlink: Launch 7 (60satellites) LEO SpaceX (JRTI) Launch of 60 Starlink v1 satellites to a orbit at an inclination of 53° to expand internet constellation. Launch occurred on the 10th anniversary of the first Falcon 9 flight. Included "VisorSat" satellite test that uses a sunshade to limit reflectivity. First booster to successfully land five times, and first to land on Just Read The Instructions since it was moved to the East Coast. 87 13 June 202009:21 F9 B5B1059-3 Cape Canaveral, SLC40 Starlink: Launch 8 (58satellites) LEO SpaceX rowspan=2 rowspan=2 (OCISLY) SkySat-16, -17, -18 Planet Labs Launch of 58 Starlink v1 satellites to a orbit at an inclination of 53° to expand internet constellation. Also included the launch of three SkySat satellites as part of the SpaceX SmallSat Rideshare Program. One payload fairing half launched on JCSat-18 / Kacific 1 mission in December 2019. The other payload fairing half flew on Starlink 2 v1.0 in January 2020. For the first time, SpaceX did not perform a static fire before launch. 88 30 June 202020:10:46 F9 B5 B1060-1 Cape Canaveral, SLC40 GPS III-03 (Matthew Henson) MEO U.S. Space Force (JRTI) Payload manufacturing contract awarded January 2012, fully assembled in August 2017, and completed thermal vacuum testing in June 2018. Launch contract was awarded initially for US$96.5 million, but later, this was discounted in exchange for allowing to launch configuration enabling booster recovery. The vehicle nicknamed Columbus was transported to Florida in February 2020, but launch was delayed by the customer from April 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.SpaceX launch of GPS satellite delayed due to pandemic , Sandra Erwin, SpaceNews, 7 April 2020, Retrieved 7 April 2020 The launch was dedicated to the memory of the recently deceased, late commander of the 21st Space Wing, Colonel Thomas G. Falzarano,SpaceX's Successful Launch of GPS-III and in Honor of Colonel Thomas G. Falzarano , SpaceNews, 30 June 2020, retrieved 1 July 2020.Air Force space wing commander dies at Peterson Air Force Base , Stars and Stripes, 13 May 2020, Retrieved 1 July 2020. and after launch, in October 2020, the nickname was changed to that of the Arctic explorer Matthew Henson. For second time, the second stage featured a gray banded Falcon long coast mission-extension kit, to allow more heat to be absorbed during the longer coasting period, while both fairings were recovered out of the water without attempting a catch in the net. 89 20 July 202021:30 F9 B5B1058-2 Cape Canaveral, SLC40 ANASIS-II GTO Republic of Korea Army (JRTI) At 56 tonnes, the satellite formerly known as K-Milsat-1 is South Korea's first dedicated military satellite. Contracted by South Korea's Defense Acquisition Program Administration in 2014. 57th successful recovery of a Falcon 9 first stage. For the first time both fairing halves were also successfully caught by fairing catching ships. This launch featured a booster reflight within 51 days, a new record turnaround time for a Falcon booster. It was the same booster that launched the Crew Dragon Demo-2 spacecraft on 30 May 2020. The satellite was delivered to a super-synchronous transfer orbit of , while both fairing halves were caught in the catch nets of the supports ships. 90 7 August 202005:12 F9 B5B1051-5 Kennedy, LC39A Starlink: Launch 9 (57satellites) LEO SpaceX rowspan=2 rowspan=2 (OCISLY) SXRS-1 (BlackSky Global 7 and 8) Spaceflight Industries (BlackSky) Launch of 57 Starlink v1 satellites to a orbit at an inclination of 53° to expand internet constellation. Also included the launch of two BlackSky satellites as part of the SpaceX SmallSat Rideshare Program. This first rideshare contracted with Spaceflight Industries was dubbed internally as "SXRS-1". After previously testing on a single Starlink, the launch will have all 57 satellites include a "VisorSat" to reduce their brightness. 91 18 August 202014:31 F9 B5B1049-6 Cape Canaveral, SLC40 Starlink: Launch 10 (58satellites) LEO SpaceX rowspan=2 rowspan=2 (OCISLY) SkySat-19, -20, -21 Planet Labs Launch of 58 Starlink v1 satellites to a orbit at an inclination of 53° to expand internet constellation. Also included the launch of three SkySat satellites as part of the SpaceX SmallSat Rideshare Program. First time a booster made a 6th flight. The fairings previously flew on Starlink 3 v1.0. One fairing half was caught by Go Ms. Tree, the other was scooped out of the ocean. 92 30 August 202023:18 F9 B5B1059-4 Cape Canaveral, SLC40 SAOCOM 1BGNOMES 1Tyvak-0172 SSO CONAEPlanetIQTyvak (LZ1) The 100th launch in SpaceX's history, first time a commercial launch on a fourth launch of a booster, it deployed Earth-observing satellites built by Argentina's space agency CONAE and two rideshares. SpaceX was contracted in 2009 for an initial launch as early as 2013. Originally planned for launch from Vandenberg but launched from Cape Canaveral, which made it the first flight from there using the southern corridor to a polar orbit since 1969.*
