SpaceX was founded in 2002 with the goal of providing low-cost space transportation for cargo and crew. It has over 800 employees and facilities in California, Texas, and launch sites in Florida and California. SpaceX has developed the Falcon 1, Falcon 9, and Dragon spacecraft. The Falcon 9 is a two-stage rocket that will begin flights to the International Space Station in 2010 to resupply the station under a NASA contract. The Dragon spacecraft is capable of carrying pressurized cargo, experiments, or crew to orbit and returning cargo back to Earth.
