SpaceX designs, manufactures, and launches rockets and spacecraft, focusing on making space travel more affordable and accessible. Their main products include the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets, which are used for launching satellites and cargo, as well as the Dragon spacecraft for transporting crew and supplies to the International Space Station. A key feature of SpaceX's technology is the development of reusable rockets, which help lower the costs associated with space missions. Unlike many competitors, SpaceX also operates the Starlink project, a satellite internet service aimed at providing global broadband coverage. The company's goal is to enable human life on other planets while serving a wide range of clients, including government agencies and private companies, through launch services and merchandise sales.
