This Falcon 9 first stage booster B1035
This booster started its life carrying cargo to the international space station for Spacx’s 11th cargo resupply mission.
That mission was also the first time SpaceX had reflown a Dragon spacecraft.
And it was the 100th launch off of the historic 39A pad at Kennedy space center
The SpaceX team refurbished this booster in just a few months and flew it again for the sierras 13 mission and that was the first time a flight-proven booster had ever been used for a government mission.
This booster's third endeavor was moving it here to the front lawn of the johnson space center.
SpaceX engineers and technicians actually followed similar procedures to what they do for refurbishment between flights to get it ready to be on display here.
the Falcon 9 core, or first stage, B1035 is displayed horizontally and elevated 14 feet off the ground near Independence Plaza.
It’s one of only two SpaceX Falcon 9 boosters on display and the first commercial space exhibit for Space Center Houston.
The core itself is about 47.7 meters tall, 3.1 meters in diameter. Its nine engines Merlin 1D help it lift payloads into space and land the core safely on the ground. Together with a second stage, it’s known as the Falcon 9 version 1.2
The core is equipped with extendable landing legs that deploy as the core gets closer to the ground. As it approaches its landing target, two retro burns are performed to ease the rocket into a safe landing.
This booster was part of two NASA missions. The first was a Commercial Resupply service, which was a resupply mission to the international space station. This core acted as the first stage of the Falcon 9 rocket that propelled a Dragon spacecraft into orbit.
This mission launched June 3, 2017, and was the first time a Dragon spacecraft was reused.
This booster flew again on Dec. 15, 2017, marking the first time NASA allowed a reusable rocket stage to be reflown for one of its missions. SpaceX had previously reflown a booster, but for private company launches.
It was also the first time a reflown core landed at LZ-1, the landing zone at Cape Canaveral.
After this second mission, this booster was retired.
This marvel of modern technology is now open and included in general admission at the johnson space center in Houston texas
