It is the only private company capable of returning a spacecraft from low Earth orbit, which it first accomplished in 2010. The company made history again in 2012 when its Dragon spacecraft became the first commercial spacecraft to deliver cargo to and from the International Space Station.\r\n\r\nSpaceX successfully achieved the historic first reflight of an orbital class rocket in 2017, and the company now regularly launches flight-proven rockets. In 2018, SpaceX began launching Falcon Heavy, the world\u2019s most powerful operational rocket by a factor of two.\r\n\r\n19\r\n\r\nMARCH 2019\r\nCREW DRAGON DOCKS WITH ISS\r\nCrew Dragon docked with the International Space Station on March 3 at 3:02 a.m. PST, becoming the first American spacecraft to autonomously dock with the orbiting laboratory.\r\n\r\n18\r\n\r\nFEBRUARY 2018\r\nFALCON HEAVY FIRST FLIGHT\r\nFalcon Heavy is the world\u2019s most powerful operational rocket by a factor of two, capable of carrying large payloads to orbit and supporting missions as far as the Moon or Mars.\r\n\r\n17\r\n\r\nJUNE 2017\r\nFIRST DRAGON REFLIGHT\r\nThis Dragon resupply mission represented the first reflight of a commercial spacecraft to and from the International Space Station.\r\n\r\n\r\nMARCH 2017\r\nFIRST REFLIGHT\r\nOn March 30, 2017, SpaceX achieved the world's first reflight of an orbital class rocket.

These include commercial satellite launches as well as US government missions. SpaceX\u2019s Dragon spacecraft is flying numerous cargo resupply missions to the space station under a series of Commercial Resupply Services contracts. Dragon was designed from the outset to carry humans to space and will soon fly astronauts under NASA\u2019s Commercial Crew Program.\r\n\r\nBuilding on the achievements of Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy, SpaceX is working on a next generation of fully reusable launch vehicles that will be the most powerful ever built, capable of carrying humans to Mars and other destinations in the solar system.\r\n\r\nCONTACT SPACEX\r\nSPACEX HEADQUARTERS\r\nRocket Road\r\nHawthorne, California\r\n310-363-6000\r\nMEDIA INQUIRIES\r\nmedia@spacex.com\r\n\r\nSALES INQUIRIES\r\nsales@spacex.com\r\nSpaceX is a private company founded in 2002 by Elon Musk.
