Rocket Launches in 2015

Spaceflight in 2015: New Horizons flies past Pluto in July and sends back the first detailed pictures of the dwarf planet. Blue Origin's New Shepard lands after a flight to space in November, and in December a Falcon 9 first stage returns to Cape Canaveral, the first orbital-class booster to land upright. Earlier, in June, a Falcon 9 breaks apart on a station cargo flight.
