SpaceX is a private American aerospace manufacturer and space transport services company founded in 2002 by Elon Musk. The company has developed the Falcon 1 and Falcon 9 launch vehicles, both designed to be reusable. SpaceX also manufactures the Dragon spacecraft, which is flown into orbit by the Falcon 9 launch vehicle to supply the International Space Station (ISS) with cargo, and bring back cargo to Earth. <\/p>\n

SpaceX’s first two Falcon 1 launches failed to attain Earth orbit. The first launch occurred in March 2007, and the second in August 2008. However, in September 2008 SpaceX became the first privately owned company to send a liquid-fueled rocket into orbit. Three months later it won a NASA contract for servicing the ISS that was worth more than $1 billion. <\/p>\n
