'''Falcon 9 booster B1046''' was a reusable [[Falcon 9]] [[Multistage rocket|first-stage]] [[Booster (rocketry)|booster]] manufactured by [[SpaceX]]. It flew four times between 2018 and 2020 before breakingit upwas expended during a [[Crew Dragon In-Flight Abort Test|successful abort test]] of the [[Crew Dragon]]. It was the first [[Blockrocket 5]]of upgradethe tofinal theFalcon 9 upgrade, [[Falcon 9 Block 5|Block 5]].

This Falcon 9 was first launched on May 11, 2018,. carryingIt carried [[Bangabandhu-1]], Bangladesh's first geostationary communications satellite, from Kennedy Space Center. This marked the 54th flight of the Falcon 9 and the first flight of the Falcon 9 Block 5.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2018/05/bangabandhu-1-launch-spacexs-affordable-space/|title=Bangabandhu-1 sucessfully{{as &#91;written|suce|ssfully [sic&#93;]}} launched by first Block 5 Falcon 9 – SpaceX's goal of affordable access to space|website=www.nasaspaceflight.com|access-date=2018-11-14}}</ref> After completing a successful ascent, B1046 separated from the second stage and landed on the [[Autonomous spaceport drone ship|drone ship]] ''Of Course I Still Love You''. This marked the 11th successful landing on OCISLY and the 25th successful landing of the Falcon 9.{{cncitation needed|date=March 2020}}
 
After inspection and refurbishment, B1046 was launched a second time on August 7, 2018, carrying the [[Merah Putih (satellite)|Telkom-4 (Merah Putih)]] satellite from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The Telkom-4 mission marked the first time an orbital-class rocket booster launched two GTO missions. This was also the first re-flight of a Block 5 booster.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=https://spaceflightnow.com/2018/08/06/falcon-9-launch-timeline-with-merah-putih/|title=Falcon 9 launch timeline with Merah Putih|website=spaceflightnow.com|access-date=2018-11-14}}</ref>
