Both the first and second stages are powered by Merlin engines, using cryogenic liquid oxygen (LOX) and rocket-grade kerosene (RP-1) as propellants.
Unlike most rockets, Falcon 9 is partially reusable. The first stage is capable of re-entering the atmosphere and landing vertically after separating from the second stage. Additionally, Falcon 9's payload fairing is also reusable. The payload fairing halves utilize a parafoil to steer themselves towards a recovery vessel.
