And in 2012, SpaceX launched its first commercial spacecraft with the mission of delivering and retrieving cargo to the International Space Station. Since 2017, SpaceX has been regularly sending private rockets into Earth orbit, and since 2018, it began launching the Falcon Heavy, the world's most powerful operational rocket, with a payload of up to 63,800 kilograms.
SpaceX has already completed 97 launches, and its valuation reaches $44 billion . This figure includes commercial satellite launches and missions for the United States government. The spacecraft, called greece telegram data Dragon, has also carried out several cargo resupply missions for the space station. However, Dragon was primarily designed to carry humans. It will soon also take astronauts from NASA's Commercial Crew Program . SpaceX currently offers launch services for its Falcon 9 rockets, which have a payload capacity of 50,000 pounds, and the Falcon Heavy, just mentioned above.
It could also offer crew transport services to commercial customers looking to take astronauts to alternative destinations. In the near future, SpaceX aims to launch its Starship – designed to deliver satellites further and at a lower marginal cost per launch than our current Falcon vehicles, with a payload bay larger than any spacecraft in service (a payload of more than 100 tons). SpaceX is the Business Model Canvas Now let's visualize the SpaceX business model using the canvas.
