  1. Falcon 1
    SpaceX’s most notable accomplishments date back to 2008 with the successful launch of the Falcon 1, a privately-funded $90 million liquid fuel rocket.
    In September of that year, the Falcon 1 launch vehicle became the first privately funded and developed liquid-propelled carrier rocket to reach Earth orbit, finally succeeding on its fourth attempt with a dummy payload.

  2. SpaceX Grasshopper
    As part of its efforts to develop a rapidly reusable rocket, SpaceX built the Grasshopper, a 10-story reusable rocket prototype. Put simply, Grasshopper was the first stage of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 project which I will tell you more about in a bit. First announced in 2011, the Grasshopper went on for 2 years and was part of the bigger vision of being able to create a reusable system that would fly cargo and people to space, and then back again.

  3. Falcon 9
    As promised! One huge mission of SpaceX is the development of fully and rapidly reusable rockets. Building a rocket is where the bulk of the launch costs associated with it are incurred, because most rockets are expendable. Designing a reusable rocket will help reduce the costs associated with traveling into space, hopefully eventually assisting with the goal of enabling people to live on other planets.

  4. First Rocket Booster Landing
    In keeping with its goal of rocket reusability, SpaceX began attempting rocket booster landings in early 2015 with its Falcon 9 rocket boosters. The booster slammed into a drone ship and erupted into flames following the first landing attempt in January of that year. A second attempt was made in April and was nearly successful, but tipped over and exploded.

  5. Falcon Heavy
    The Falcon Heavy is a heavy-lift launch vehicle. By a factor of two, it’s the most powerful operational rocket in the world. It has the highest payload capacity of any launch vehicle that is currently operational and the second-highest capacity of any rocket that has ever reached orbit. The Saturn V, which was last flown in 1973, was the only rocket to ever deliver more payload to orbit.

  6. Landing the 3 Falcon Heavy Rocket Boosters
    On the Falcon Heavy’s second voyage in April of this year, SpaceX managed to land all three of its rocket boosters for the first time. The rocket’s two outer cores landed on SpaceX’s two concrete pads near the launch site at Cape Canaveral, Florida. The two side boosters descended back to Earth almost simultaneously, creating two sonic booms as they executed their final burn.

  7. Crew Dragon
    In March 3 of this year, the SpaceX Crew Dragon, also known as the Dragon 2, made history. Crew Dragon completed its first test mission to the International Space Station. Before that, in 2012, the Dragon cargo spacecraft made history when it became the first private spacecraft to dock autonomously with the International Space Station (ISS). Since then, the Dragon continues to carry cargo to the ISS.

  8. Public-Private Partnership
    Perhaps one of the biggest achievements of SpaceX, and space exploration in general, is the ongoing partnership between government organizations such as NASA, and the company, which is privately owned. SpaceX’s relationship with US government agencies began in 2005, when the company was awarded an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity, or IDIQ, contract allowing the Air Force to purchase up to $100 million of launches.
