Space X

With its headquarters in Hawthorne, California, Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (doing business as SpaceX) is an American company that produces satellites, conducts space launches, and manufactures spacecraft. Elon Musk established it in 2002 with the intention of bringing down the price of space travel in order to make Mars colonisation feasible. It produces the Cargo Dragon and Crew Dragon spacecraft, multiple rocket engines, the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launch vehicles, and Starlink communication satellites.

To deliver paid internet access, SpaceX is creating the Starlink satellite internet constellation. By the time the Starlink constellation was complete in September 2022, it had more than 3,000 tiny satellites in orbit, making it the largest satellite constellation to ever be launched.
The business is also working on Starship, a fully reusable, super heavy-lift launch system for interplanetary and orbital travel that is being privately funded. Once operational, it will replace SpaceX's current fleet of Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy, and Dragon as the company's main orbital vehicle. When it makes its debut in 2022, which is tentatively expected for 2022, it will have the biggest payload capacity of any orbital rocket ever built.

Three launch vehicles have been created by SpaceX. The first launch vehicle created was the small-lift Falcon 1, which was discontinued in 2009. Both the heavy-lift Falcon Heavy and the medium-lift Falcon 9 are in use. Small and able to launch several hundred pounds into low Earth orbit, the Falcon 1 was a rocket. Between 2006 and 2009, it attempted five launches, two of which were successful. The Falcon 1 was the first liquid-fueled rocket powered by privately-funded capital to enter space.
