Space Exploration Technologies Corporation
Space Exploration Technologies Corporation wants to be the go-to company of the future. Also known as SpaceX, the company is developing satellite launch vehicles that it claims will cut satellite launch costs by more than 50%. Its Falcon family of vehicles includes the light lift Falcon 1, the medium-lift Falcon 9, and the Falcon 9 heavy-lift. To keep costs down, the first stage of the Falcon 1 and both stages of the Falcon 9 series are reusable; for greater reliability, the Falcon 9 can complete missions after sustaining an engine failure. SpaceX is headed by Elon Musk, co-founder of PayPal.
