List of Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launches (2023)

In 2023, SpaceX launched 96 Falcon family vehicles—91 Falcon 9 and five Falcon Heavy rockets. It surpassed both the company's own single-year launch record of 61 and the global annual record of 64 launches, coming close to its previously announced goal of 100 Falcon launches in the year.

The company's payload delivery capacity also rose, with approximately sent to orbit.

January <noinclude> Flight No. Date andtime (UTC) Version,booster Launchsite Payload Payload mass Orbit Customer Launchoutcome Boosterlanding 195 14:56 F9B5B106015 Cape Canaveral, SLC40 Transporter-6 (115 payload smallsat rideshare) SSO Various (LZ1) Dedicated SmallSat Rideshare mission to Sun-synchronous orbit. It included six space tugs, also known as orbital transfer vehicles (OTV), which are two of D-Orbit's ION Satellite Carriers, Epic Aerospace's Chimera LEO 1, Momentus's Vigoride-5, Skykraft's OTV and Launcher's Orbiter SN1. Orbiter SN1 failed shortly after deployment from Falcon and before deploying payloads. One of the payloads, EWS RROCI failed to deploy from Falcon 9 and the satellite re-entered with the upper stage. This was not a SpaceX failure as brokered dispensers and deployers are used on Transporter missions. 196 04:50 F9B5B10762 Cape Canaveral, SLC40 OneWeb 16 (40 satellites) Polar LEO OneWeb (LZ1) Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, OneWeb suspended launches on Soyuz rockets. In March 2022, OneWeb announced that they had signed an agreement with SpaceX to resume satellite launches. This flight, the 16th of the OneWeb program and the second on a SpaceX rocket, carried 40 satellites. FH 5 22:56 Falcon Heavy B5B1070(core) Kennedy, LC39A USSF-67 (CBAS-2 & LDPE-3A) ~ GEO USSF rowspan="3" B10642(side) (LZ2) B10652(side) (LZ1) First launch of Phase 2 US Air Force contract. US$316 million cost for the fiscal year of 2022, for the first flight, mostly includes the cost of an extended payload fairing, upgrades to the company's West Coast launch pad at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, and a vertical integration facility required for NRO missions, while the launching price does not increase. SpaceX deliberately expended the center core, which thus lacked grid fins and landing gear, while the two side-boosters were recovered at Landing Zones 1 and 2, and it was the fourth second stage featuring Falcon long coast mission-extension kit as the mission requirements are same as the USSF-44 mission. 197 12:24 F9B5B10772 Cape Canaveral, SLC40 USA-343 MEO USSF (ASOG) Global Positioning System navigation satellite, sixth GPS Block III satellite to be launched, named after Amelia Earhart. Space vehicle manufacturing contract awarded February 2013. In September 2018, the space vehicle was integrating harnesses. In March 2018, the Air Force announced it had awarded the launch contract for three GPS satellites to SpaceX. 198 15:43 F9B5B10751 Vandenberg, SLC4E Starlink: Group 2-4 (51satellites) LEO SpaceX (OCISLY) Launch of 51 Starlink v1.5 satellites to a orbit at an inclination of 70° to expand internet constellation. 199 09:32 F9B5B10679 Cape Canaveral, SLC40 Starlink: Group 5-2 (56satellites) ~ LEO SpaceX (JRTI) Launch of 56 Starlink v1.5 satellites to a orbit at an inclination of 43° to expand internet constellation. This was the heaviest payload to date flown on Falcon 9. 200 16:15 F9B5B10717 Vandenberg, SLC4E Starlink: Group 2-6 (49satellites) ~ LEO SpaceX rowspan=2 rowspan=2 (OCISLY) ION SCV009 D-Orbit Launch of 49 Starlink v1.5 satellites to a orbit at an inclination of 70° to expand internet constellation. Also carried D-Orbit's ION SCV009 "Eclectic Elena."

Hosted payloads included USSF Pathfinder 2 and Tele Greenland A/S's GreenSat. 203 05:10 F9B5B106212 Cape Canaveral, SLC40 Starlink: Group 5-4 (55satellites) LEO SpaceX (ASOG) Launch of 55 Starlink v1.5 satellites to a orbit at an inclination of 43° to expand internet constellation. A fairing half on this mission was flown and recovered for a record 8th time. This launch marked a new pad turnaround record for SpaceX, launching after the previous mission from SLC-40. 204 19:12 F9B5B10639 Vandenberg, SLC4E Starlink: Group 2-5 (51satellites) LEO SpaceX (OCISLY) Launch of 51 Starlink v1.5 satellites to a orbit at an inclination of 70° to expand internet constellation. 205 03:59 F9B5B10773 Cape Canaveral, SLC40 Inmarsat-6 F2 GTO Inmarsat (JRTI) Inmarsat maintained its launch option after a scheduled 2016 Falcon Heavy launch (a European Aviation Network satellite) was switched for an Ariane 5 launch in 2017. This option could be used for launching Inmarsat-6B. In February 2022, Inmarsat confirmed Inmarsat-6 F2 will launch on a Falcon 9 rocket. The satellite reached the supersynchronous geostationary transfer orbit of inclined at 27°. 206 23:13 F9B5B10763 Cape Canaveral, SLC40 Starlink: Group 6-1 (21satellites) ~ LEO SpaceX (ASOG) Launch of 21 Starlink v2mini satellites to a orbit at an inclination of 43° to expand internet constellation. This mission marked the debut of the v2mini satellites, a smaller version of the planned v2 satellites, which are to launch on the future Starship. The v2mini is 2.4 times the mass of its v1.5 predecessor but provides four times the data capacity. Unlike the v1.5, the tension rods that hold the v2mini satellites together during launch, remain attached to the Falcon 9 second stage after deployment, reducing orbital debris. This flight marked the 100th consecutive landing success of a Falcon 9 booster since February 16, 2021.

This flight used a partial boostback burn to bring the first-stage booster to its drone ship closer to the coast. The maneuver was meant to cut down processing time by decreasing the time spent moving the ship back for refurbishment. 211 19:26 F9B5B10718 Vandenberg, SLC4E Starlink: Group 2-8 (52satellites) ~ LEO SpaceX (OCISLY)Launch of 52 Starlink v1.5 satellites to a orbit at an inclination of 70° to expand internet constellation. 212 23:38 F9B5B10696 Cape Canaveral, SLC40 SES-18 & SES-19~ GTO SES (JRTI) SpaceX launched two C-band satellites for SES, with the option to launch a third satellite on a second flight. SpaceX set a new record for the shortest time between two Falcon 9 launches at 4 hours and 12 minutes. The previous record time was 7 hours and 10 minutes, set between the Crew-5 and Starlink Group 4-29 missions on October 5, 2022. 213 15:43 F9B5B106710 Cape Canaveral, SLC40 Starlink: Group 5-5 (56satellites) ~ LEO SpaceX (ASOG) Launch of 56 Starlink v1.5 satellites to a orbit at an inclination of 43° to expand internet constellation. 214 20:01 F9B5B10774 Cape Canaveral, SLC40 Starlink: Group 5-10 (56satellites) ~ LEO SpaceX (JRTI) Launch of 56 Starlink v1.5 satellites to a orbit at an inclination of 43° to expand internet constellation.
