SPACEThe reusability of Falcon 9 is billed as ‘a huge revolution in spaceflight’ by the CEO of SpaceX. The private space company plans to operate rockets commercially, just like any other passenger airliner.
SpaceX Falcon 9 will be turned into a reusable rocket. The company wants space travel to be cheap. SpaceX rockets have proved many of its successful flights and landings.
Another successful mission by SpaceX. Falon 9 finally delivered EchoStar XXIII communication satellite into the orbit. It was launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Thursday(March 16) at 2:00 a.m. EDT.
SpaceX made another historic feat as it launched its Falcon 9 into space on February 19. It might sound ordinary to some space enthusiasts especially to Elon Musk's fans, but this is extraordinary as the Falcon 9 was launched in the famous launchpad 39A.
SpaceX now selected Kennedy Space Center LC-39A launch site for their latest commercial launch for NASA’s cargo resupply mission to International Space Station known as SPX10 and they conduct their trial engine test yesterday before their final countdown.
SpaceX just had another out of this world record! Its engineers were able to successfully test-fire a used SpaceX booster, an orbit class rocket, last week in McGregor, Texas.
It's official. NASA has formally certified SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket to launch all but the agency's most costly robotic science missions. The first mission for SpaceX will be the launch of a United States and France oceanography satellite that is scheduled for liftoff from California in July.
For the second time this month, the Elon Musk led SpaceX launched cargo into space. This time the privately owned company delivered its first satellite into orbit owned and operated by the former Soviet republic of Turkmenistan.
On Tuesday, Elon Musk's SpaceX tried and failed for a third time to land their Falcon 9 rocket after blast off. Musk has now offered to the public the explanation as to what happened that caused this latest attempt to fail.
Close, but no cigar. Though you’d expect from the fire and the smoke to find something at the scene of the Falcon 9 rocket’s landing site. After multiple delays and promising weather conditions this Tuesday April 14, an unmanned Falcon 9 rocket developed by SpaceX was launched from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in transit towards the International Space Station, full of supplies. But in the second attempt that the company has pursued in trying to recapture the rocket’s first stage by landing it on an autonomous drone ship, SpaceX encountered yet another failure even after making monumental changes since the Jan. 10 crash landing, earlier this year.
It’s first attempt was a failure, but in hopes of creating a more sustainable spaceflight industry, private spaceflight company SpaceX is going to try landing one of their rockets again. And this time you can watch the mission live, no delays and no interruptions like before.
Think that you know how today’s Falcon 9 launch and landing are going to play out? Think again! With some new improvements, and a lot of learning through trial and error, SpaceX thinks that they’ve worked out a plan for success, and we’re hoping that they stick the landing in grace.

SpaceX is set to launch its Dragon cargo capsule to the International Space Station on Monday, and mission control plans again to make history by landing their rocket back on Earth after blast off. The computer aims to bring the first stage of its Falcon 9 rocket back to Earth for a soft touchdown on an unmanned "spaceport drone ship" in the Atlantic Ocean, after the booster sends the Dragon cargo container on its way to the International Space Station.
Elon Musk, the brains behind Tesla Motors and SpaceX, is aiming to redefine how celestial navigation will be conducted in the future. But with the failure of the Falcon 9 return, his latest attempt was "close, but no cigar."
After weeks of anticipation for private spaceflight company SpaceX’s innovative new launch scheduled for departure earlier this morning, Jan. 6, NASA officials reported that the launch was called off due to technical difficulties, only minutes before liftoff.
