SpaceX designs, manufactures and launches advanced rockets and spacecraft. The company was founded in 2002 to revolutionize space technology, with the ultimate goal of enabling people to live on other planets.

NASA and SpaceX support a multi-agency operation to protect astronauts for rescue and recovery efforts during the launch and return phases of the agency’s Commercial Crew Program missions to and from the International Space Station The effort requires coordination with recovery teams near the launch site, along the flight path of the Falcon 9 rocket and Crew Dragon spacecraft during ascent and for the return of the spacecraft from orbit around Earth.

The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket propelled the Crew Dragon spacecraft with NASA astronauts Shane Kimbrough and Megan McArthur, along with JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Akihiko Hoshide and ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Thomas Pesquet, into orbit to begin a six-month science mission on the space station.
