Reusability Rewrites the Economics

Land. Refurbish. Fly again.
Over 250 autonomous first-stage recoveries completed across ocean barges and concrete landing pads since 2015.
Turnaround in days, not months
Latest vehicle configuration achieves 21-day reuse windows with minimal inspection downtime between consecutive flights.
Full thrust through every cycle
Main-stage engines sustain rated chamber pressure across 15-plus flight campaigns without overhaul.
Cost collapses with each flight
Per-kilogram-to-orbit cost reduced 65 percent since the first successful booster recovery and reuse.
