SpaceX designs, manufactures and launches advanced rockets and spacecraft. The company was founded in 2002 to revolutionize space technology, with the ultimate goal of enabling people to live on other planets.
1. SpaceX’s biggest hangar yet in work at Kennedy Space Center - capable of holding up to 5 rockets at once.
2. On May 21st, Dragon splashed down into the Pacific Ocean, carrying 3,100 pounds of cargo and science for NASA,
completing SpaceX's seventh mission to the International Space Station-including six official resupply missions-and its
longest stay yet at nearly 5 weeks.
CRS-6 Splashdown
3. After seven successful missions to the International Space Station, including six official resupply missions for NASA, SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon
spacecraft are set to liftoff from Launch Complex 40 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, for their seventh official Commercial Resupply Services
(CRS) mission to the orbiting lab. Liftoff is targeted for Sunday, June 28, 2015, at 10:21am ET. If all goes as planned, Dragon will arrive at the station
approximately two days after liftoff. Dragon is expected to return to Earth approximately five weeks later for a parachute-assisted splashdown off the coast of
southern California.
4. On May 6, 2015, SpaceX completed the first key flight test of its Crew Dragon spacecraft, a vehicle designed to carry
astronauts to and from space. The successful Pad Abort Test was the first flight test of SpaceX's revolutionary launch
abort system, and the data captured here will be critical in preparing Crew Dragon for its first human missions in 2017
6. SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft launched from Launch Complex 40 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station,
Florida, for their fourth official Commercial Resupply (CRS) mission to the orbiting lab on Sunday, September 21 at 1:52am EDT.
Dragon returned to Earth with a parachute-assisted splashdown off the coast of southern California on October 25. Dragon is the
only operational spacecraft capable of returning a significant amount of supplies back to Earth, including experiments.
7. SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket delivered Thales Alenia Space's TurkmenÄlem52E/MonacoSat satellite to a
geosynchronous transfer orbit on April 27, 2015 from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force
Station, Florida. The satellite was deployed approximately 32 minutes after liftoff.
9. After Dragon and Falcon 9’s second stage are on their way to orbit, the first stage will execute a controlled
reentry through Earth’s atmosphere, targeting touchdown on an autonomous spaceport drone ship
approximately nine minutes after launch.
10. SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket delivered Thales Alenia Space's TurkmenÄlem52E/MonacoSat satellite to a geosynchronous
transfer orbit on April 27, 2015 from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. The satellite
was deployed approximately 32 minutes after liftoff.
11. Falcon 9 and Dragon undergoing prep in Florida in advance of 4/13 launch to the International Space Station.
CRS-6
12. The SpaceX unveil event of Crew Dragon, the next generation spacecraft designed to carry astronauts to Earth
orbit and beyond. The spacecraft will be capable of carrying up to seven crewmembers, landing propulsively
almost anywhere on Earth, and refueling and flying again for rapid reusability. As a modern, 21st century manned
spacecraft, Crew Dragon will revolutionize access to space.
13. SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft launched from Launch Complex 40 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida,
for their fifth official Commercial Resupply (CRS) mission to the orbiting lab on Saturday, January 10 at 4:47am EST. Dragon returned
to Earth four-and-a-half weeks later with a parachute-assisted splashdown off the coast of southern California. Dragon is the only
operational spacecraft capable of returning a significant amount of supplies back to Earth, including experiments.
CRS-5 Dragon Recovery
14. SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft launched from Launch Complex 40 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station,
Florida, for their fifth official Commercial Resupply (CRS) mission to the orbiting lab on Saturday, January 10 at 4:47am EST. Dragon
returned to Earth four-and-a-half weeks later with a parachute-assisted splashdown off the coast of southern California. Dragon is
the only operational spacecraft capable of returning a significant amount of supplies back to Earth, including experiments.
15. SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft launched from Launch Complex 40 at the Cape
Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, for their fifth official Commercial Resupply (CRS) mission to the
orbiting lab on Saturday, January 10 at 4:47am EST. Dragon returned to Earth four-and-a-half weeks later
with a parachute-assisted splashdown off the coast of southern California. Dragon is the only operational
spacecraft capable of returning a significant amount of supplies back to Earth, including experiments.
16. SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket launched the ORBCOMM OG2 Mission 1 on July 14, 2014.
17. SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft launched from Launch Complex 40 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida,
for their third official Commercial Resupply (CRS) mission to the orbiting lab on April 18, 2014. Dragon returned to Earth with a
parachute-assisted splashdown off the coast of southern California on May 14, 2014. Dragon is the only operational spacecraft capable
of returning a significant amount of supplies back to Earth, including experiments.

19. The SuperDraco is an advanced version of the Draco engines used by SpaceX’s Cargo Dragon spacecraft to
maneuver in orbit and during re-entry. SuperDracos will be used on Crew Dragon spacecraft as part of the
vehicle’s launch escape system; they will also enable propulsive landing on land.
