SpaceX is committed to revolutionizing access to space by providing highly reliable, low cost launch services. To this end, SpaceX has been developing a family of orbital transportation solutions comprised of SpaceX-developed proprietary technologies, as well as off-the-shelf and minimally modified hardware from leading aerospace subcontractors. SpaceX is currently offering launch services on the Falcon 1, Falcon 9, and Falcon 9 Heavy launch vehicles as well as commercial flights on the Dragon spacecraft. Founded in mid-2002, SpaceX has been busy. This paper provides the latest developments and progress, including recent launches and future plans.
