About

Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX) is a U.S.-based aerospace company with the mission to reduce the cost of space transportation. Headquartered in Hawthorne, California, SpaceX has become a global leader in launch services, spacecraft development, and satellite communications.

The company designs, manufactures, and launches advanced rockets and spacecraft. its flagship Falcon 9 rocket is the world's first orbital-class reausable launch vehicle to lower launch costs and increase reliability. SpaceX also operates the Falcon Heavy, a powerful operational rocket and is developing Starship, a fully reusable next-generation launch system intended for deep space missions and high-volume Earth-to-orbit transport.

In addition to launch services, SpaceX operates Dragon spacecraft, the first commercial spacecraft to deliver cargo to the International Space Station (ISS) and return safely to Earth. The Crew Dragon variant also carries astronauts to and from the ISS under NASA's Commercial Crew Program.

SpaceX is also revolutionizing global connectivity with Starlink, a satellite broadband constellation providing high-speed, low latency internet service worldwide, including remote and undeserved regions. Building on this technology, Starshield has been developed as a government and defense-focused satellite network offering secure communications, hosted payloads, andnational security services.

With a focus on innovation, reusability, and scalability, SpaceX continues to push the boundaries of space exploration, launch economics, and satellite communications, positioning itself as a key player in the future of space access and interplanetary travel.

Services

Starlink
Starlink provides fast, reliable internet anywhere in the world, with speeds up to 350 Mbps in the U.S. Setup is simple you just need to plug in the terminal and point it towards the sky. Flexible plans are offered for residential, mobile, maritime, aviation, and enterprise use to bring secure low-latency broadband to homes, businesses and mission-critical operations.

Starshield
Built upon Starlink technology, SpaceX's Starshield program extends secure, resilient satellite capabilities specifically for national security and government use. Designed to deliver both launch services and payload hosting, Starshield provides processed mission data directly to users while ensuring global, reliable connectivity through government-operated user equipment.

Starshield satellites are engineered to support a wide variety of payloads, with a modular satellite bus architecture that enables rapid development and deployment for the most demanding missions. Leveraging Starlink's end-to-end data encryption, Starshield integrates additional high-assurance cryptographic capabilitites to host classified payloads and securely process sensitive data in compliance with government requirements.

Operating on a proliferated Low Earth Orbit (LEO) architecture, Starshield ensures resiliency, redundancy, and continuous connectivity for government and defense missions, while delivering flexibility for multi-orbit, crossllinked, interoperable communications.
‍
Rideshare
Rideshare program offers affordable, flexible access to space for small satellites and payloads. Pricng begins at $325,000 for 50 kilograms to Sun-Synchronous Orbit (SSO), with additional mass available to  $6,500 per kilogram. Launches to mid-inclination Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO), and Trans-Lunar Injection (TLI) are also available at competitive rates.

SSO missions are scheduled every four months, providing regular launch opportunities, while other orbits can be arranged based on mission requirements. Customers benefit from rebooking flexibility, with fee's of 5-10%, ensuring adaptability for evolving mission needs.

A range of rideshare plate sizes is offered alongside custom configurations for larger spacecraft and unique payload requirements. Specialized "cake topper" slots are also available upon request.

All rideshare  missions are conducted aboard the Falcon 9, SpaceX's reliable launch vehicle, ensuring the safe and proven transport of payloads to their intended destinations.
