SpaceX and NASA successfully conducted the 33rd Commercial Resupply Services (CRS-33) mission to the International Space Station (ISS) on August 24, 2025. The Falcon 9 rocket launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 2:45 a.m. ET, carrying over 5,000 pounds of science experiments, food, and supplies for the Expedition 73 crew. The Dragon spacecraft docked to the Harmony module of the ISS at 7:05 a.m. ET on August 25. Following this, SpaceX continued its launch cadence with the Starlink 10-56 mission on August 27, deploying 28 Starlink satellites from the same launch site at 7:10 a.m. ET. This launch marked the company's 400th successful Falcon 9 landing on a droneship at sea. On August 28, SpaceX achieved a new milestone by launching a Falcon 9 booster for the 30th time during the Starlink 10-11 mission from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center. The booster successfully landed on the droneship "A Shortfall of Gravitas," becoming the first orbital-class rocket to complete 30 flights and landings. This booster, designated B1067-30, now holds the record for the most missions flown by a single Falcon 9 booster, surpassing previous reuse benchmarks.
Wow! 30 launches & successful landings of a single booster! There was a time experts said one reuse was impossible, then it had to be 10 reuse launches to break even, then a fleet average of 10 reuses, and now, @SpaceX has the first booster with 30 reuses! Congrats to a team https://t.co/E0k98mPwkP
