SpaceX History

SpaceX successfully launches humans to ISS

5/30/2020

This mission was the first crewed flight to launch from the United States since the end of the Space Shuttle program in 2011. It carried NASA astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken to the ISS.

First Falcon 9 fairing reuse

9/3/2020

This was the fist time payload fairing of an orbital rocket was reused in another flight. The fairing was from the ArabSat-6A mission in April earlier that year.

First flight of Raptor engine

7/25/2019

The first flight test of a Raptor engine occurred on 25 July 2019 at the SpaceX South Texas Launch Site. This was not a full-duration burn, but just a 22-second test.

Successfull Dragon 2 docking with ISS

3/2/2019

SpaceX successfully launches Dragon 2, on top of the now human-rated Falcon 9. This was the first a private company sends a human-rated spacecraft to space.

First Falcon Heavy heliocentric mission

2/6/2018

Maiden flight of Falcon Heavy, using two recovered Falcon 9 cores as side boosters, as well as a modified Block 3 booster reinforced to endure the additional load from the two side boosters. The launch was a success, and the side boosters landed simultaneously at adjacent ground pads. Drone ship landing of the central core failed due to TEA–TEB chemical igniter running out, preventing two of its engines from restarting. Final burn to heliocentric Mars–Earth orbit was performed after the second stage and payload cruised for 6 hours through the Van Allen belts. Later, Elon Musk tweeted that the third burn was successful, and JPL's HORIZONS system showed the second stage and payload in an orbit with an aphelion of 1.67 AU. The live webcast proved immensely popular, as it became the second most watched livestream ever on YouTube, reaching over 2.3 million concurrent views

First Dragon reflight

6/3/2017

This Dragon resupply mission represented the first reflight of a commercial spacecraft to and from the International Space Station.

Fairing recovered successfully

3/30/2017

The fairing section used in this flight was successfuly recovered from the ocean, following a controlled flyback throug the atmosphere.

First Falcon 9 reflight

3/30/2017

On March 30, 2017, SpaceX achieved the world's first reflight of an orbital class rocket. Following delivery of the payload, the Falcon 9 first stage returned to Earth for the second time.

Successfull Falcon 9 droneship landing

4/8/2016

On April 8, 2016, the Falcon 9 rocket launched the Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station, and the first stage returned and landed on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship.

Successfull Falcon 9 landing

12/22/2015

On December 21, 2015, the Falcon 9 rocket delivered 11 communications satellites to orbit, and the first stage returned and landed at Landing Zone 1 – the first-ever orbital class rocket landing.

First Falcon 9 GTO mission

12/3/2013

Falcon 9 successfully depoyed payload to Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit

Dragon capsule births with ISS

12/8/2010

Private developed Dragon spacecraft 'births' with the International Space Station successfully.

First successfull Dragon launch

6/4/2010

SpaceX becomes the first private company to successfully launch, orbit, and recover a spacecraft.

Falcon delivers payload to orbit

7/13/2009

Fifth successful flight of Falcon makes history, becoming the first privately developed liquid-fuel rocket to deliver a commercial satellite to orbit.

Falcon reaches Earth orbit

9/28/2008

Falcon 1 becomes the first privately developed liquid-fuel rocket to reach Earth orbit.
