As of March 8, 2025, SpaceX has completed 455 successful rocket launches. This figure is based on the Falcon 9 family, which has launched 458 times since 2010, with 455 full mission successes, three failures, and one partial failure, according to detailed tracking up to March 3, 2025. Including Falcon Heavy and earlier Falcon 1 missions, the total aligns with this count, though Starship test flights (like the four in 2024) are typically excluded from success tallies due to their experimental nature. The Falcon 9 Block 5, the current workhorse, has a 99.74% success rate over 390 flights. SpaceX’s reusable booster tech has driven this high success rate, with 414 of 427 landing attempts succeeding. Posts on X and web data corroborate this, citing 454–470 successes depending on exact dates and definitions, but 455 is the most consistent figure for full mission successes as of early March 2025.
