SpaceX is a rocket company founded by the tech billionaire, Elon Musk. It’s main mission was to take humans to Mars.

It is the first privately funded organisation started in 2008 which payloaded in the Earth’s orbit.

It has launched various cargo vehicles to the International Space Station (ISS) and won a contract from NASA to fly astronauts to orbit.

SpaceX in 2010 became the first private company to launch a payload in orbit and return it to Earth which only government agencies like NASA and Russia’s Roscosmos are permitted.

In 2015, the proper landing and recovery of the Falcon 9 rocket was yet another achievement of SpaceX.

The progress of SpaceX in designing rockets is incredible and so far, the rocks are modular. The Falcon is a single engine model.

SpaceX is also very close to flying a crew to space. They had designed the Dragon with crew compatibility and the life support system was proven successful.

In 2017, both SpaceX and Boeing were scheduled to run a crew in the International Space Station (ISS) and NASA has already assigned the astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley to fly in.

The Dragon craft carried cargo to the International Space Station and on May 31, 2020 it took off with the two astronauts which was a great success as the Crew Dragon exploded during its initial ground test.

Dragon was considered as the first commercial spacecraft that recovered after the journey from around the orbit.
