Details about SpaceX Interstellar Mission and the history of SpaceX mission and info about its founder

1. SpaceX
Interplanetary
Spaceship

3. Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (doing
business as SpaceX) is an American aerospace
manufacturer, a provider of space transportation
services, and a communications corporation
headquartered in Hawthorne, California. SpaceX
was founded in 2002 by Elon Musk with the goal of
reducing space transportation costs to enable the
colonization of Mars. SpaceX manufactures the
Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launch vehicles, several
rocket engines , Cargo Dragon, Crew Spacecraft,
and Starlink communications satellites.

4. ELON MUSK
Elon Reeve Musk is a South
African born American
entrepreneur and businessman
who founded X.com in
1999(which later became
PayPal), SapceX in 2002 and Tesla
Motors in 2003 and many more.

6. SpaceX developed its first orbital launch vehicle the Falcon 1 in
between 2005-2009, with private funding. It was an expendable
two-stage-to-orbit small-lift launch vehicle.
•2010-2012: Falcon 9, Dragon, and
NASA Contracts
SpaceX originally intended to
follow its light Falcon 1 launch
vehicle with an intermediate
capacity vehicle, the Falcon 5. The
company instead decided in 2005
to proceed with the development
of the Falcon 9, a reusable Heavier
Lift vehicle, development of the Falcon 9 was accelerated by NASA, which
committed to purchase several commercial flights if specific capabilities

7. were demonstrated. This was started with seed money.
• 2013-2015: Commercial launches and rapid
growth
SpaceX launched the first commercial mission for a private
customer in 2013. In 2014, SpaceX won nine contracts out of the
20 that were openly competed worldwide.
• 2015-2017: Reusability milestones
SpaceX first achieved a successful landing and recovery of a
first stage in December 2015 with Falcon 9 Flight 20. In April 2016,
the company achieved the first successful landing on the
Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship (ASDS) Of Course I Still Love
You in the Atlantic Ocean.

9. RAPTOR ENGINE
• Raptor is full flow, staged
combustion rocket engine
powered by Cryogenic Methane
and Liquid Oxygen(LOX).
• The Super Heavy Booster is
powered by 37 Raptors, while
Starship is powered by 6.

10. • Dragon is a free flying
spacecraft designed to deliver
both cargo and people to
orbiting destinations.
• Currently Dragon carries cargo
to space, but it was designed
from the beginning to carry
humans. The first
demonstration flight under
NASA’s.

11. At launch, the spacecraft, called
Starship, will sit atop a rocket
called Super Heavy. The
combined system will stand
120m(394 ft) tall and is also
referred to as Starship.
Let’s take the spacecraft first.
STARSHIP : AN OVERVIEW
With it’s nosecone and landing fins, the stainless steel resembles the
Rocketships from the golden age of science fiction.
At the rear of the 50m (160ft) -long craft are six highly efficient Raptor
engines, developed over the course of a decade by SpaceX. The
combustion takes place in stages, and the engine's design cuts the
amount of propellant that's wasted.

12. Now, let's turn to the rocket. Measuring 70m (230ft) -long,
Super Heavy will be filled with 3,400 tonnes (6.8 million lbs)
of cryogenic (chilled) methalox.
It will be powered by around 32 Raptor engines (this
specification has changed several times) and should achieve
more than 70 Meganewtons (16 million lbs) of maximum
thrust. It should be able to lift at least 100 tonnes of
payload, and possibly as much as 150 tonnes, to low-Earth
orbit.
This will make Super Heavy more powerful than the
immense Saturn V launcher used for the Apollo Moon
missions in the 1960s and 70s.

16. ACHIEVEMENTS
SpaceX's achievements include the first
privately funded liquid-propellant rocket to
reach orbit around Earth, the first private
company to successfully launch, orbit, and
recover a spacecraft, the first private
company to send a spacecraft to the
International Space Station, the first vertical
take-off and vertical Falcon Family of Rockets.
