Would be a very impressive fluke!
Might I recommend just "launch twice"? This is the simplest criterion, you don't need to talk about what counts as recovery or anything.
Still vulnerable to Ship of Theseus ambiguity if it gets reburbished heavily, but seems like the best criteria still.
Launching three times seems unnecessary but fine, but don't mention recovery, that just confuses things. Launching already sufficiently implies previous recovery.
