The first booster with COPV2 tanks was booster B1047 on the Es'hail 2 mission on November 15, 2018, and the second booster using the COPV2 tanks was CRS-16/ B1050, which had its first launch on December 5, 2018. Among other changes, the initial Block 5 boosters did not have the redesigned composite overwrapped pressure vessel (COPV2) tanks. Since the debut of Block 5, SpaceX has continued to iterate on its design, manufacturing processes, and operational procedures. the Octaweb structure is bolted together instead of welded, reducing manufacturing time.a set of retractable landing legs for rapid recovery and shipping.reduced refurbishment between flights.redesigned composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPV 2.0) for helium, to avoid oxygen freezing inside the structure of the tanks that lead to rupture.redesigned and requalified more robust and longer life valves.a thermal-protection coating on the first stage to limit reentry heating damage, including a black thermal protection layer on the landing legs, raceway, and interstage.
more temperature-resistant cast and machined titanium grid fins.a reusable heat shield protecting the engines and plumbing at the base of the rocket.expected to be able to be launched at least 10 times achieved in 2021.Block 5 includes an improved flight control system for an optimized angle of attack on the descent, lowering landing fuel requirements. In April 2017, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said that Block 5 will feature 7–8% more thrust by uprating the engines (from 176,000 pounds-force (780,000 N) to 190,000 pounds-force (850,000 N) per engine). They include performance upgrades, manufacturing improvements, and "probably 100 or so changes" to increase the margin for demanding customers. The Block 5 design changes are principally driven by upgrades needed for NASA's Commercial Crew program and National Security Space Launch requirements. Overview From left to right, Falcon 1, Falcon 9 v1.0, three launch configurations of Falcon 9 v1.1, three configurations of Falcon 9 v1.2 (Full Thrust), two configurations of Falcon 9 Block 5 and Falcon Heavy Bangladeshi satellite Bangabandhu-1 is the first payload launched by Falcon 9 Block 5. This was the transition to an all-Block 5 fleet. The CRS-15 mission on Jwas the last Block 4 version of Falcon 9 to be launched. The maiden flight launched the satellite Bangabandhu-1 on May 11, 2018. In 2018, Falcon 9 Block 5 succeeded the transitional Block 4 version. Each Block 5 booster is designed to fly 10 times with only minor attention and up to 100 times with refurbishment. Numerous other small changes helped streamline recovery and re-usability of first-stage boosters, increase production rate, and optimize re-usability. The main changes from Block 3 to Block 5 are higher-thrust engines and improvements to the landing legs.
FALCON 9 SECOND STAGE FULL
It is the fifth version of Falcon 9 Full Thrust, powered by SpaceX Merlin engines burning rocket-grade kerosene ( RP-1) and liquid oxygen (LOX). Falcon 9 Block 5 is a partially reusable two-stage-to-orbit medium-lift launch vehicle designed and manufactured in the United States by SpaceX.
