Falcon 9 Block 5 F432 (Starlink-231)

Falcon 9 Block 5 flight F432 used launch article 435/B1075.17 for the Starlink-231 mission on 2025-02-01. The launch vehicle successfully completed its assigned launch and deployment mission; this outcome is separate from the reusable first stage's recovery result. The Starlink payload deployment succeeded. A small second-stage liquid-oxygen leak later prevented the planned disposal burn; the passivated stage subsequently reentered over Europe, making this a post-deployment disposal anomaly rather than a launch failure.
