MISSION CONTROL SpaceX maintains launch sites at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS), Kennedy Map Legend:
Space Center in Florida, Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB) in California, and Boca SpaceX Development Supplier Chica, Texas. Each location oers key benefits to support the customers’ missions. Headquarters Facility Locations
Launch SpaceX Government Facility Satellite Facility Oces Seattle, WA
The southeast coast of the US provides access to a wide range of low and medium inclination orbits frequently used by supply missions to the ISS. Also allows access to geostationary orbits, as well as departures to the Moon and interplanetary destinations. Vandenberg, CA Air Force Base Washington, D.C.

PROCESS OF MANUFACTURING & LAUNCHING With an ever-increasing launch cadence, SpaceX is on track to equal or surpass other launch providers by annual vehicles launched and continues, nearly year-on-year, to set vehicle flight records. SpaceX continues to work toward one of its key goals - developing fully and rapidly reusable rockets, a feat that will transform space exploration by delivering highly reliable vehicle at radically reduced costs.

TIME
ROCKETS OF THE WORLD Nearly 3/4's the height of the Saturn V, yet thinner than a Space Shuttle SRB, Falcon 9 is the workhorse of SpaceX's rocket fleet. Falcon Heavy is the world's most powerful rocket rising on its 27 first stage Merlin 1D engines. Only the mighty Saturn V has delivered more payload to orbit. SpaceX also oers competitive pricing for its Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launch services.

Payload To LEO - 3,310 Kg To LEO - 3,310 Kg For SpaceX to succeed at reducing the cost of getting payload to orbit, reusability of launch vehicles is imperative. It involves returning Price $20 Million per Seat None the first stage of the rocket back safely to Earth. Dicult task involving a combination of three burns that must be executed perfectly.
