| 51 |  | CRS-13 | Fri Dec 15 2017 | Successful 🚀 | Will reuse the Dragon capsule previously flown on CRS-6 and will reuse the booster from CRS-11. | Cape Canaveral Space Force Station Space Launch Complex 40 | 🔍 Details |
| 52 |  | Iridium NEXT Mission 4 | Sat Dec 23 2017 | Successful 🚀 | Reusing the booster first used on Iridium-2, but will be flying expendable. | Vandenberg Space Force Base Space Launch Complex 4E | 🔍 Details |
| 53 |  | ZUMA | Mon Jan 08 2018 | Successful 🚀 | Originally planned for mid-November 2017, the mission was delayed due to test results from the fairing of another customer. First-stage booster will attempt landing at LZ-1 | Cape Canaveral Space Force Station Space Launch Complex 40 | 🔍 Details |
| 54 |  | SES-16 / GovSat-1 | Wed Jan 31 2018 | Successful 🚀 | Reused booster from the classified NROL-76 mission in May 2017. Following a successful experimental ocean landing that used three engines, the booster unexpectedly remained intact; Elon Musk stated in a tweet that SpaceX will attempt to tow the booster to shore. | Cape Canaveral Space Force Station Space Launch Complex 40 | 🔍 Details |
| 55 |  | Falcon Heavy Test Flight | Tue Feb 06 2018 | Successful 🚀 | The launch was a success, and the side boosters landed simultaneously at adjacent ground pads. Drone ship landing of the central core failed. Final burn to heliocentric mars-earth orbit was successful after the second stage and payload passed through the Van Allen belts. | Kennedy Space Center Historic Launch Complex 39A | 🔍 Details |
| 56 |  | Paz / Starlink Demo | Thu Feb 22 2018 | Successful 🚀 | First flight with fairing 2.0. Will also carry two SpaceX test satellites for the upcoming Starlink constellation. | Vandenberg Space Force Base Space Launch Complex 4E | 🔍 Details |
| 57 |  | Hispasat 30W-6 | Tue Mar 06 2018 | Successful 🚀 | Launched with landing legs and titanium grid fins. Did not attempt a landing due to 'unfavorable weather conditions in the recovery area'. | Cape Canaveral Space Force Station Space Launch Complex 40 | 🔍 Details |
| 58 |  | Iridium NEXT Mission 5 | Fri Mar 30 2018 | Successful 🚀 | Fifth Iridium NEXT mission to deploy ten Iridium NEXT satellites. Reused booster from third Iridium flight, and although controlled descent was performed, the booster was expended into the ocean. SpaceX planned a second recovery attempt of one half of the fairing using the specially modified boat Mr. Steven. However, the fairing's parafoil twisted during the recovery, which led to water impact at high speed | Vandenberg Space Force Base Space Launch Complex 4E | 🔍 Details |
| 59 |  | CRS-14 | Mon Apr 02 2018 | Successful 🚀 | The launch used a refurbished booster (from CRS-12) for the 11th time, and a refurbished capsule (C110 from CRS-8) for the third time. External payloads include a materials research platform MISSE-FF phase 3 of the Robotic Refueling Mission TSIS, heliophysics sensor several crystallization experiments, and the RemoveDebris spacecraft aimed at space junk removal. The booster was expended in order to test a new landing profile. | Cape Canaveral Space Force Station Space Launch Complex 40 | 🔍 Details |
| 60 |  | TESS | Wed Apr 18 2018 | Successful 🚀 | Part of the Explorers program, this space telescope is intended for wide-field search of exoplanets transiting nearby stars. It is the first NASA high priority science mission launched by SpaceX. It was the first time SpaceX launched a scientific satellite not primarily intended for Earth observations. The second stage placed it into a high-Earth elliptical orbit, after which the satellite's own booster will perform complex maneuvers including a lunar flyby, and over the course of two months, reach a stable, 2:1 resonant orbit with the Moon. In January 2018, SpaceX received NASA's Launch Services Program Category 2 certification of its Falcon 9 'Full Thrust', certification which is required for launching medium risk missions like TESS. It was the last launch of a new Block 4 booster, and marked the 24th successful recovery of the booster. An experimental water landing was performed in order to attempt fairing recovery. | Cape Canaveral Space Force Station Space Launch Complex 40 | 🔍 Details |
