SpaceX

Overview

SpaceX, or Space Exploration Technologies Corp., is an American aerospace manufacturer and space transport services company founded in 2002 by Elon Musk. Based in Texas, the company aims to revolutionize space technology with the goal of enabling human colonization of Mars by reducing launch costs.

As a leading space launch provider, it is known for its pioneering work in reusable rocket technology, designing and manufacturing advanced rockets and spacecraft such as Falcon 1, Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy, Dragon spacecraft, and the next-generation Starship. SpaceX collaborates with NASA and the U.S. Department of Defense, supporting missions to the International Space Station and a variety of satellite launches. The company has reached significant milestones including being the first privately funded, liquid-fueled rocket to reach orbit and the first private company to send humans into orbit, enhancing access to space and accelerating future exploration.
